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.

S04 E01: Contempt of Court

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!
