21 Jump Street: S5E21: "Homegirls"


Written by Jeff Myrow

Directed by Brad Turner

Airdate: April 20, 1991

Guest Star: Jada Pinkett (Nicole)

Hoffs infiltrates a gang to investigate a drive-by shooting and to break up a gun running ring. There's almost a Hollywood vibe to the episode as Hoffs must convince the other girls in the gang she can handle the hard life. 

Jada Pinkett appears as one of the gang members in an early role. Some twists and turns punctuate the episode, and the dialogue is snappier than usual. The story's almost a retro throwback to the 1970s with its blaxploitation edge. It was a good script for Holly Robinson that provided Hoffs a compelling story for the penultimate entry in the series.
