Vice and Easy

This week on Miami Vice: Crockett is left in charge of OCB while Castillo is going undercover to get closer to a kingpin named Acosta, who works for a bigger wig named Levec. When their shipment gets intercepted right in front of them, they're able to track one of the perps back to the Miccosukee Reservation. Tubbs then goes undercover at the Reservation to get more intel and find out what is the connection between the tribe and who is interrupting the coke shipments.

This week on Miami Vice: Crockett and Tubbs along with Vice get wrapped into an arms deal that is exposed when a visiting Chilean police commander (Tony Plana) kills a working girl and her pimp when they attempt to blackmail him. Then it turns out the DEA's Agent Brody (Mark Metcalf) is protecting him because they claim he's helping them with the Andean cartel. Vice digs deeper and deeper to find out the why and the what behind this arms purchase from a totally believable lol arms dealer Stiles (Oliver Platt), which includes CBUs - Compact Bombing Units - essentially landmines, and try and stop the shipment from leaving Miami.

This week on Miami Vice: Crockett and Tubbs bust a...hooker train...(??) and recognize one of the johns as a gubernatorial candidate they saw earlier that night on TV, Tom Pierce. Crockett cracks up until it becomes no joke when a few people involved are killed. How dirty are these politics? Other topics include: those funny white hats are definitely only an American thing, the most unrealistic gambling addiction portrayal I've ever seen, political wives and more!

This week on Miami Vice: Giddy up! Vice gets caught up in the middle of a Cold War battle of frozen bull semen between a cowboy, a bumbling fed (Harry Shearer) and Cuban spy in this ode to classic Westerns. Just stay with me here. It seems our beloved Izzy is quite the cowboy (in a redecorated apartment) who ends up getting involved trying to play all sides. Let's see how that turns out.

This week on Miami Vice: There's a serial killer on the loose that's infiltrated a video dating network and targeting men who look share a similar look with...guess who? Crockett! Crockett is used as bait, which doesn't help his brand new marriage to Caitlin (Sheena Easton) who is worried that he'll end up with his manhood chopped off too. This Don Johnson-directed episode has toys (how scandalous for 1987 prime time), a legit supermodel (Iman), a working girl with her own credit card imprinter and Crockett driving through the red light district (hey, isn't Gold Diggers in LA?!?!).

This week on Miami Vice: Crockett falls in lovvvvvveeeee...again! With guest star Sheena Easton! In less than a week! And he sees Billy twice in one season, wow things are changing. Caitlin Davies (Sheena Easton) is a fading singer who is set to testify against a shady record label agent (Xander Berkeley) who screwed over her friends and worse and Crockett has been chosen to protect her since he'll fit in with the music crowd. They butt heads at first but, surprise, surprise, they end up falling in love...kind of? Or they just have similar hours and trauma bonding? Viced Tea: A Robert DeNiro connection! Is that actually Teller?

This week on Miami Vice: Trouble in Tinseltown? Crockett joins Caitlin in Los Angeles (or Miami with LA B-roll) as she begins her press blitz. He's not impressed with her shoddy security detail, her team and the lack of humidity and hightails it back to Miami for work only to become wrapped up in a case that's a little too close to home. Remember Tommy and the record execs who blew him up? They're going to recoup some of their business losses if Caitlin can't go on tour - for whatever reason that could be...MESSAGE! Back to LA he goes, and back to Miami while their new marriage weathers its rocky start.

This week on Miami Vice: So is this really when Miami Vice jumped the shark? Did we not have a poignant and touching epsiode last time that was very progressive in its message? And then... aliens but, not really? And not in an X-Files way, which would have been amazing! Anywhoo, when investigating the freak death of a gentleman who jumps though a window when he sees Noogie and Izzy dressed up like aliens, Trudy sees things no one else believes. Mainly a date with famous singer, now alien-enthusiast talk show host (??) named Lou de Long (guest start the James Brown) until she meets him in person and exclaims that he's old LOL! While everybody thinks Trudy's gone off the deep end, one young buck at OCB (Chris Rock) recognizes her story and how she feels retelling it and , oh yeah, he believes. But, does the rest of Vice? Come for the aliens, stay for the Disney-adjacent fun fact in Viced Tea!

However, Crockett's been distant since they moved up north, how does Billy and his new stepfather feel about this?

This week on Miami Vice: Vice goes to bust a suspected drug lab for it only to turn out to be a cryogenic lab.... with a frozen Reggae superstar...? Drama ensues when his estranged wife, her hot lawyer (Alfred Molina) and these cyrogenic bioloigists (Dr. Frobel and Dr. Poe) all hash it out over who gets to keep the body and what they want to do with it. Cash it in (wife) or bring back to life (cyrogenic biologists and ...Izzy?) It's a weird and wild episode, and lots of it has aged poorly. This has been said to have been where Miami Vice jumped the shark, do we agree?

This week on Miami Vice: Vice gets involved in the adult film industry when a well-known artiste premiering his new snuff film, Death and the Lady, is accused of murder, not film magic. As they dig deeper, they wander through peep shows and art schools to get an answer... the beautiful blonde in the film turns up - twice! (Kelly Lynch) but, where is her lookalike? Crockett can tell by the eyes on screen, they're dead eyes, but the artiste, Glantz (CSI's Paul Guilfoyle) is too busy cosplaying as Willem DaFoe in To Live and Die in LA to have left any tracks. The DA (Miguel Ferrer RIP!) doesn't think a jury will convict with mostly circumstantial evidence, and Crockett refuses to ignore his intuition in this highly stylized episode. Happy news? A feline friends joins the Vice team. CONTENT WARNING: ADULT THEMES AND SITUATIONS! NOT FOR KIDS!

This week on Miami Vice: A big-time televangelist's wife gets busted by Vice which sets off a chain reaction of events: framing Tubbs, a rogue rival televangelist, an Act of God-caused explosion (how fitting!) and lots of crocodile tears and fundraising. This very ripped-from-the-headlines nod to Jim Bakker is rife with zealous acting and wild outfit choices. And the power of satellite in the 1980s vs cable. Guest star: Brian Dennehy, Ben Stiller Spicy language warning! Not an episode for the kiddos. Programming note: Thanksgiving week episode is not confirmed, so may be off next week!

This week on Miami Vice: Crockett and Tubbs are tasked with protecting witnesses testifying in a RICO trial against a bigtime New Jersey mafioso named Frank Mosca (Stanley Tucci who came to play!). Despite all the precautions and obtaining an anonymous jury, witnesses still get whacked and they can't directly pin Mosca, and things get hairier when he goes after Crockett's informant. Crockett refuses to name his informant in a cross-examination in court and gets thrown in jail (again!) for not being a snitch, while his snitch ends up in jail on a shady drug charge... uh oh!

We get to see Saundra Santiago sing her heart out with a lot of blue light as she learns more about her family's past through this fiancé, Klaus... who is wanted by the cops... and also a top East German Intelligence Officer.

This week on Miami Vice: Tubbs is trying to make a deal with a bigwig crack dealer named Gallego when Gallego gets ripped off for cash and a suitcase that he almost gave up his life to protect... questions? What's in the suitcase? And why were the robbers wearing prosthetics and stage makeup? This leads back to a once reformed ex-con who runs a theatre for ex-cons called Mi Vida Loca (no relation to the movie) as a way to give them a safe form of expression. Crockett knows the talent Mikey has and can't understand why he gave up so much and burned so many bridges along the way, and now he's at risk of throwing his whole life away, and of those that love him, for Gallego's suitcase. Guest starring: Benecio Del Toro!

Reb tries doing right by his friend's sister, Victoria, who wants nothing to do with her brother's other life and believes he's doing the right thing on his way to Valhalla as Vice tries to stop him, as Tubbs becomes collateral damage. Guest stars include: John Matuszak and Kim Coates as biker gang member before Sons of Anarchy.

This week on Miami Vice: Crockett and Tubbs get raided by the DEA while making a deal with Esteban Montaya (Ian McShane) and after they take the goods... they realize something's off. As they try to uncover unsavoury DEA involvement, Internal Affairs eye Crockett and Tubbs. They try to use old contacts to get more info, one of which is a DEA agent, a woman who is at the end of her rope with quite possibly the worst luck you can imagine.
