How surprised I was to see Mike Evans in this episode. This might be the only time I've seen him as anyone other than Lionel Jefferson. Evans is OK (nothing more) as a disillusioned kid who joins a criminal group (along with his brother.) Herbert Jefferson is very good as Paul's brother. Hari Rhodes appears as the slimy head of this criminal operation. Rhodes is also a little hard to accept in this role, since he previously appeared in the series as a medical examiner. The story is watchable, but Mike Evans is too well identified as "Lionel" to take him seriously in his role here. As to my heading. When Paul's girlfriend appeared, I recognized her voice first. It was none other than Berlinda Tolbert! Evans was definitely "Lionel" before appearing in this episode. Berlinda was not the original Jenny Willis. Perhaps, her appearance here had something to do with her becoming "Jenny." In any case, Berlinda is better in this episode than Mike Evans is. She looks pretty here, as well. What can I say? I always notice things like that!

70's vibe.

Warning: Spoilers
For Good or Evil we has a seventies vibe here. A inner city drama of a young man who must choose between his brother's criminal life, and Stone's mentoring. I will not ruin For Good or Evil, but a moment of truth comes down! Sappy, but true message about choices we make. The read meat of car chases, and gun fight spliced into For Good or Evil for that seventies feel. Nothing like a good foot chase. Well....mmmm watchable. But done over and over again! 6 stars.
