Directed by Rob Bowman
Airdate: October 8, 1989
Guest Stars: Marcia Cross (Sherrie Binford); Dante Basco (Ping Pong)
Booker balances protecting his young friend Ping Pong from getting caught up in a local gang, while balancing a new relationship with a co-worker Sherrie.
Once again, the episode goes to great lengths to soften Booker's image, still edgy but a gentleman working to keep his neighborhood sage. The gangland plot borders on being a PSA, but Greico deserves credit for carrying the story along. It just gets repetitive and lacks drama.
Greico and Cross have good chemistry and that keeps an otherwise mundane episode moving along.
