21 Jump Street: S5E18: "Crossfire"

Written by Ann Donahue

Directed by Jorge Montesi

Airdate: March 30, 1991

Guest Star: Geoffery Thorne (Joshua Dorsett); Renee Jones (Yvonne Andrews); William B. David (Judge Harrison)

Only three principal members of the cast remain as 21 Jump Street enters its final stretch. "Crossfire" should be titled "Hoffs in Turmoil."

Hoffs and Mac are working the vice squad, setting up solicitors of sex workers. When a man propositions Hoffs and gets arrested - he later sues for entrapment. Meanwhile, Hoffs is dating Joshua, a shady businessman in the middle of a custody battle. 

More ambitious than previous episodes, and also more plot heavy. Hoffs discovers the prosecuting attorney in her entrapment case is the ex-wife of her new boyfriend. Mac and Fuller work behind the scenes to help Hoffs, including some questionable use of informants. 

Despite all the character machinations, this episode dragged a bit. But it did end on a humorous note.
