21 Jump Street: S5E16: "Coppin' Out & Cop Love"

Directed by Brad Turner

Written by Simon Ayer

Airdate: February 23, 1991

Guest Star: Fay Hauser (Adrienne Wallace); Markus Redmond (Charles Wallace)

As the Jump Street unit investigates a rash of break-ins aimed at senior citizens, Fuller dates the mother of one of the suspects.

Fuller meets Adrienne in line at the grocery store and they begin seeing each other. Adrienne's teenage son Charles is good natured, but a little suspicious of Fuller dating his mom. 

Meanwhile, circumstantial evidence points to Charles as a suspect in the robberies. Charles is arrested and brought in for questioning, but Joey finds another lead in the robberies, proving Charles was innocent. Despite their connection, Adrienne breaks it off with Fuller - understandable. 

Well written as a quiet drama, returning to themes of ethics and police work. As per usual Steven Williams does a nice job of carrying the episode. This was also the final appearance of Michael DeLuise as Joey Penhall in the series. You're almost looking for crews to start tearing down the sets at this point.
