S05 E20: Too Much, Too Late

January 9th, 2026

This week on Miami Vice: Valerie Gordon is back! Sadly, it's due to very unpleasant circumstances. Her childhood best friend Yvonne (CCH Pounder) is struggling with addiction and dealing with a violent dealer named Swain. Valerie flies into Miami after receiving a worrisome call from her Goddaughter, Lynette, and tries to help out Yvonne, but, things only unravel more once Swain is not content with taking Yvonne's money and dealing with her late payments. He suggests something very sinister, her daughter, which Yvonne agrees to. Yvonne ends up dead and Lynette is refusing to ID Swain or talk to anyone about what happened, which tickles Sonny's Spidey senses. Switek descends back into gambling, while Rico, the only happy person in this epsiode - albeit momentarily - can't see the forest through the trees because he's just so excited to have Valerie back. As the title of the episode suggests, will it be too late for them?
