Warning: Spoilers
Miami Vice was ahead of its time. This second story was directed by British veteran John Llewellyn Moxey. His early work was on Coronation Street.

The episode starts out on a porn movie set with a minor (Suzy Amis) getting the come on from a heating repair man. She is later found dead.

Crockett and Tubbs are undercover hoping to get the Mr Big of the Miami porn scene. They come across a deep cover FBI agent Arthur Lawson (Ed O'Neill) who is close to being burnt out and gone over to the other side.

Crockett who knows about the pressure of being undercover is willing to give Arthur a chance to show that he is not corrupt.

An episode that shows Crockett and Tubbs already make a good team. The story is grim and grimy. There is a punch in the gut ending. Switek and Zito are the comic relief.
