This week on Miami Vice: In this Don Johnson-helmed episode, one of Crockett's friends from his time in Vietnam coms to Miami with a lead on an explosive story regarding the bad smack that's been circulating around Miami. They get closer to the lead when they realize it leads back to their time in Vietnam when Stone (Balaban) discovered heroin in the bodybags of deceased soldiers. Guest stars galore! Iman! Bob Balaban! Patti D'Arbanville! And while we explore the darker themes of the damage the Vietnam war had on the American generation who were drafted and served and how they were ignored and spat on when they returned, we also get to rock out to a Doors-centric soundtrack and Crockett's impeccable style this episode.

S02 E10: Bought and Paid For

season 2

This week on Miami Vice: Gina's housekeeper and friend is raped at her apartment by a stereotypical rich Miami playboy with connections, and Gina is determined to get justice despite all the obstacles in her way while the victim deals with his abuse and continued intimidation and her familial obligations in Haiti. A very depressing episode and tough topics are covered so please note a trigger warning of rape for the entire episode. I do find some comic relief in Arroyo's (Joaquim De Almeida) attitude and his love of gold jewelry, a "sweet" drug bust that goes bust and TIL I learned there are different DeBarges, and the one performing in this episode (El DeBarge) is not allegedly the baby father of Janet Jackson's secret child and raised by Rebbie.
