Like the "Little Prince" episode that preceded it, this is a cautionary tale about the innocent entering the world of drug dealing and the resulting fallout.
Starting with a sequence accompanied by ZZ Top's classic "Legs", the first five minutes of this episode are certainly entertaining. Tubbs manages to cover himself with half of Starbucks while on a stake-out at the airport and even Crockett comes a cropper when he tries to catch the two juvenile suspects. Good slapstick fun!
Sadly, the episode fails in the same way as "Little Prince." The two juveniles with big plans to carry out one large drugs deal are not particularly likable and I found it very difficult to sympathise with them. As a result, the episode really failed to hit the mark for me.
An almost unrecognisable Evan ("Sex and the City") Handler plays Louis in this episode. Eric ("Talk Radio") Bogosian also appears.
Despite the weaknesses of this episode, the production values are excellent as always.
7 out of 10.
