This week on Miami Vice: We have arrived at the series finale, Freefall! Crockett and Tubbs are roped into a plan to bring a dictator from a fictional Central American nation known as Costa Morada to help get information about a cartel boss. Crockett is aprehensive and just jaded in general, but Tubbs' enthusiasm is persuasive. They flew to Costa Morada only to be set up multiple times, bring Borbon back to Miami only to be set up again and again. Realizing Crockett was right to be skeptical, they bring matters into their own hands, only to toss their badges on the ground in front of the Feds and Castillo in a horrendous wig. One last drive in the Testarossa into the sunset as they plan for their next steps and we say goodbye with a montage of clips from the entire series.

This week on Miami Vice: Valerie Gordon is back! Sadly, it's due to very unpleasant circumstances. Her childhood best friend Yvonne (CCH Pounder) is struggling with addiction and dealing with a violent dealer named Swain. Valerie flies into Miami after receiving a worrisome call from her Goddaughter, Lynette, and tries to help out Yvonne, but, things only unravel more once Swain is not content with taking Yvonne's money and dealing with her late payments. He suggests something very sinister, her daughter, which Yvonne agrees to. Yvonne ends up dead and Lynette is refusing to ID Swain or talk to anyone about what happened, which tickles Sonny's Spidey senses. Switek descends back into gambling, while Rico, the only happy person in this epsiode - albeit momentarily - can't see the forest through the trees because he's just so excited to have Valerie back. As the title of the episode suggests, will it be too late for them?

This week on Miami Vice: How do you do, fellow kids? In this spinoff attempt, Joey is back with some other "kids" (actors in their late 20s and early 30s) as part of the "Young Criminals Unit" to infiltrate the shady world of a professor and his mysteriously dying students. These deaths have him and a super strong drug in common, and it's up to the newcomers to stop him before it's too late. Production quality and character writing (um, big bomb dropped about Crockett is abandoned quickly) be damned, let's try and spin Miami Vice off into the 90s.Show NotesGallery S5E19For more Vice and EasyTiktok: @viceandeasypodcastInstagram: @viceandeasypodcastYouTube: Vice and Easy Podcast

This week on Miami Vice: There's a new sheriff in town, and he designs his own t-shirts! Vice deals with a rogue vigilante named Miracle Man (José Pérez in some Michael Mann casting), who is interfering with their busts while a TV reporter comes in with a crew - and also the Commissioner's blessing - to try and grab footage for a reality show about undercover officers. Suprise, surprise, things do not go well! We learn more about Miracle Man's motives to keep the streets of Miami clean, as the news crew led by Eric Terry (Zach Grenier) stoop to new lows in their quest to get the footage they want.

This week on Miami Vice: Al Lombard (Dennis Farina) is back! He has come back to Miami to reunite with Sal (re-cast since Season 1) and maybe settle an old score....? His son gets into some trouble, despite being told he is in real estate wink, and wants to help out his son but, unfortunately is too late. Lombard figures it's not too late to help Tommy, his grandson. Sal's widow and Tommy's mom doesn't want him near Tommy, so Lombard gets creative and honestly, it's very sweet seeing Lombard in Nonno mode. How far will Lombard be willing to go to avenge his son and square things up with the Librizzis? Editor's Note: If you're following along to the episode count on the DVDs, this is not the correct order. I even mess it up in the intro lol. This is one of the "Lost Episodes". For clarification: I will be doing the rest of the Lost Episodes with Freefall being the last epsiode. Thanks!

Timestamps: (0:00) Intro/Hello again!/What I did on my summer vacation (9:53) Recap This week on Miami Vice: Crockett and Tubbs are trying to bust a local player named Tommy, until his deal gets cuts short by a warning from an ice cream truck and they flee, leaving Vice in the lurch about Tommy's new source. They get news that their budgets are being cut by Captain Highsmith, who is making a run for County Supervisor, and naturally are pissed off. They try to get close to an NY dealer, Reginald Hawkins, but one of his goons, gets in the way, and then Crockett and Tubbs are whisked away by a group of suits. The suits are part of a shadowy network of vigilante cops who are tired of seeing criminals through the cracks and who have seen the shortcomings first hand. As the group tries to close in on the new source that Vice is after - Escalante - we see the lines get more and more blurred. When does the pursuit of justice cross into criminal behaviour itself and what happens when you're in too deep to get out?

This week on Miami Vice: Crockett and Tubbs are introduced to the world of underground art dealing when a big deal goes bust and they "hot" goods Vice finds turns out to be paintings. The main piece of the group is missing and Det. Whitehead from the NYPD (Michael Chiklis) is in Miami to help locate the art by prepping Crockett and Tubbs on how to penetrate the art world and we get some retconning of Tubbs from Season One, but also some great outfits so it all works out. The Scianti family - known for other types of deals - are involved and run a gallery where Tubbs goes under as a art history professor/connoisseur/dealer with the family to get closer. Joey and Julia, the children, are carrying on the family business by making deals for Joey and running the gallery for Julia and they also butt heads over what the future holds for the main piece of art their dad stole years ago and the drama it will bring as Whitehead, Vice and the Sciantis fight over it.
