This week on Miami Vice: Vice gets involved in the adult film industry when a well-known artiste premiering his new snuff film, Death and the Lady, is accused of murder, not film magic. As they dig deeper, they wander through peep shows and art schools to get an answer... the beautiful blonde in the film turns up - twice! (Kelly Lynch) but, where is her lookalike? Crockett can tell by the eyes on screen, they're dead eyes, but the artiste, Glantz (CSI's Paul Guilfoyle) is too busy cosplaying as Willem DaFoe in To Live and Die in LA to have left any tracks. The DA (Miguel Ferrer RIP!) doesn't think a jury will convict with mostly circumstantial evidence, and Crockett refuses to ignore his intuition in this highly stylized episode. Happy news? A feline friends joins the Vice team.

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.

Spicy language warning! Not an episode for the kiddos.

Programming note: Thanksgiving week episode is not confirmed, so may be off next week!

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!

This week on Miami Vice: Tubbs is trying to make a deal with a bigwig crack dealer named Gallego when Gallego gets ripped off for cash and a suitcase that he almost gave up his life to protect... questions? What's in the suitcase? And why were the robbers wearing prosthetics and stage makeup? This leads back to a once reformed ex-con who runs a theatre for ex-cons called Mi Vida Loca (no relation to the movie) as a way to give them a safe form of expression. Crockett knows the talent Mikey has and can't understand why he gave up so much and burned so many bridges along the way, and now he's at risk of throwing his whole life away, and of those that love him, for Gallego's suitcase. Guest starring: Benecio Del Toro!
