Trivia
This episode is one of the very few in which something slipped past the censors. As we see Callie handing Crockett his drink her baggy shirt sleeve falls open revealing her nipple for a split second before the scene cuts back to Crockett.

Goofs
When Gravas runs from Crockett and Tubbs by the pool, his hair and clothes are dry. But when he jumps into his getaway car, his hair and clothes are soaking wet. A shot of Gravas falling or jumping in the pool was probably deleted.

Quotes
Detective Ricardo Tubbs: [During heat a wave and dripping in sweat] I can dig tropical, but this is outta bounds.

One of my Top 3 Vice episodes ("out where the buses don't run" and "give a little take a little" are the others. Just a crackling, potboiler of a series appropriately set in a heat wave that is, to my recollection, the only time that the weather of sultry Miami is it's own character. And the hot, humid weather ushers in two forces of nature - grafting wife and husband Callie and Charlie Bassett. Callie is my favorite Vice femme fatale. Her intro Perrier bath is as hot as the city itself. Charlie (played by Ted Nugent) is a gleeful psychopath to whom no crime even registers as remarkable. Strong character work gets us closer to Sonny as he tries to bring some light into the overwhelming darkness of this episode and helps us share Rico's frustration as he is worried that Sonny is losing his ability to judge things correctly. Crackerjack episode. 10/10.
