He survives (not to Vice's knowledge) but, has amnesia and now believes that he is his alter ego, Sonny Burnett. As he gets deeper into this new world, Tubbs is digging deeper into Manolo and Gutierrez (Antonio Fargas!) to figure out what really happened on that boat with help from the Ft. Lauderdale precinct. The same precinct that's trying to track down an internal leak to Gutierrez! What a season finale. Did I mentioned Julia Roberts?

This week on Miami Vice: Evil is the theme of this week as Vice hears about home invasions gone wrong when a 15-year old girl is killed, and the style matches that of Frank Hackman... remember him? From "Forgive Us Our Debts"? He shot and killed Crockett's former partner, was on death row until Crockett helped get him out, believing he was innocent. Nope! And now Crockett is about to cross paths with Hackman again right as Caitlin comes home from tour with a secret in tow.
And I finish the episode off with some Sheena Easton Viced Tea!

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!
