7/10
Good, but ....

Warning: Spoilers
So many people popping up and flashing across the screen, it is hard to tell which of the good ole boys are the baddies, since they all mistrust Crockett and Tubbs. Also, yet another irritating example of Zito and Switek's complete incompetence -- they're in a bathroom together, don't ask -- which lets the witness escape. Tubbs is also to blame for a bizarre lack of judgment in delivering a letter to the sequestered witness, the devastating results of which Tubbs witnesses (but does nothing even afterward) as the witness read the letter.

Since when do sequestered material witnesses receive uncensored mail? (This is pre-Internet, cell phone, social media, remember.) All of this, doubtless, is to create the deus ex machina which fuels the episode but such gross incompetence, especially from Tubbs, is hard to swallow.
