When a new version of PCP hits the street, 20 Squad are determined to track down the source, particularly Tan, who has a personal motivation. Chris faces some tough personal choices and Street gets a lead in his mother's whereabouts.
Tropes
- It's Personal: Tan relates that his cousin was one of the hundreds who fatally overdosed the last time Rocket Fuel hit the streets of Los Angeles, hence his determination to stop its spread for good this time.
- Noodle Incident: Hondo had a tattoo of his ex-girlfriend’s name once.
- Pet the Dog: One of the drug dealers making Rocket Fuel finds a little girl who got separated from her friends and teacher, and was looking for them. Despite just receiving word of 20 Squad's presence, the drug dealer opts to stay with the girl and help her instead of hightailing it out of there.
- Title Drop: Rocket Fuel is the name of the new form of PCP.
- Villain with Good Publicity: "Chef J", the man behind Rocket Fuel, was able to avoid prosecution because he donated large amounts of his drug profits to charity and bribed the locals in his neighbourhood so they wouldn't testify against him.
