Peter DeLuise's turn to shine.

"Perfect"

By explorer0713, Aug 07, 2005

Excellent all around. The humor and wordplay between Hanson and Penhall in the opening scene was classic 21 Jump Street. But then the core issue of the episode grabbed your gut and wrenched it hard.

Peter DeLuise, who had always been good, even very good at times, gave the performance of his life (to that point) in this one, showing a depth I didn't expect.
