S03 E12: Down For The Count: Part One
June 16th, 2023 | Season 3 | 46 mins 34 secs
famous guest stars, season 3
This week on Miami Vice: Zito is back in action...for a while when Vice infiltrates the Miami boxing circuit to get closer to a promoter named Guzman, who was a major importer not even three years ago but has supposedly "changed" his tune. Even Don Cash, naturally played by Don King knows this and warns Crockett and Tubbs. Zito apparently has experience, since this is maybe the second or third episode we really learn anything about him, and a friend involved named Moon (Randall "Tex" Cobb) who's training a hot shot named Sykes, and Vice wants to use Sykes as bait to catch Guzman, since they know he's not truly clean. Unfortunately, a lot of people are going to get caught in the middle, including our dear Larry Zito.

famous guest stars, season 3, viced tea
This week on Miami Vice: Vice busts a fellow cop (Bill Paxton) they find along with a working girl holding some pharmaceutical-grade cocaine during a motel bust. They dig deeper to find the source, first looking into the pimp/dealer Silk (Wesley Snipes) and they set Tubbs up as his competition with the alias Butch and a menacing Panama Hat that matches his silver suit. Crockett sympathizes with cop who's too far under that he seems to have not factored his wife into the equation of trying to get his sex worker girlfriend off the streets but, despite Crockett's attempts at helping, this story has played out on Miami Vice before to sad results. Trudy and Gina absolutely SLAY their street outfits as they play along to try and get Carla to play along with their ruse since she's naturally hesitant about working with cops, unless it's her married boyfriend - of course. As the pressure gets put on Silk, his supplier gets angry and starts putting out hits on the competition, the main one being Butch aka Tubbs, oh no!

This week on Miami Vice: Ira Stone (Bob Balaban) returns to Miami with a lot of (justified) paranoia and proof of the US involvement in Nicaragua when he sees (and has the tape) Americans posing as Sandinistas, touching on the real and timely issue of the Iran-Contra scandal. With this proof, he wants a Peabody and starts putting the word out that the tape is for sale, which in turn means the government is hot on his tail and Crockett, loyal as always, is worried his friend is back on the hard stuff and stretching the truth. Maynard (G Gordon Liddy) returns to get Stone once again before Stone's work foils his evildoing.
