This week on Miami Vice: Tubbs encounters an underage dancer and sex worker that he develops a strong affinity for and who he wants to protect while on the hunt for a serial killer in the sex work business. To no one's surprise, she is the inspiration for the episode's title, uh oh Tubbs! This episode is full of a lot of very interesting themes and subjects along with some WILD fashion choices. Topics include: the attitude shift towards sex workers from 1985 until now, the White Lotus (spoilers!), listening to what a person wants instead of of trying to change their mind, falling in love with the idea of someone, Fiona's super strong singing voice (I wish she would have sung in this episode), that independence means different things to different people and how family support can be a privilege and much more!
