Commentary:

John DeCarli: I like this one mainly because we actually see Ioki doing some undercover work in school. And this is a fairly rare occurrence. Otherwise, this is a fairly standard episode, well executed. I always get a little chuckle when Penhall calls Jordie's father "Greggy." And I guess Jordie got caught when he returned to pick up his friend in front of the arcade, although this is never explained.
