Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis was Jan Hammer's final musical appearance on the show. Tim Truman would take over in season five, although Hammer's opening theme would remain. Some of Hammer's classic tracks are featured in this episode, including the music when Crockett and Tubbs meet Grocero in the smoke-filled room in Smuggler's Blues (1985) (used during Burnett's dealings with Manolo and Gutierrez, as well as when he first wakes up after the explosion) and "Rico's Blues" (used when Rico is visiting Manolo's Miami HQ). Additionally, the Hammer track featured during the scene where Crockett/Burnett drives off in his speedboat with Tubbs calling out to him is a mixture of the haunting melody first used when Tubbs remembers his brother's death in Brother's Keeper (1984) and "Crockett's Theme".
- GoofsAt one point Sonny is wearing mirrored sunglasses and the cameraman is reflected in them.

Detective James Crockett: Yeah, I'm Sonny Burnett.
Featured review
Best of season 4, no doubt.
This was not only the best of season 4 but one of my top 10 MV episodes. I knew how they were going to set up season 5 but I wasn't sure if they were going to do it right. I wasn't sure if they were going to get gritty enough for this to work. Well they took Miami Vice to another level with this and the several following episodes.
Its always refreshing to see an actor break from his usual role and try something risky, and this couldn't have came at a better time. I was sure season 4 was going to end leaving a bad taste in the viewer's mouths. But just when I thought the MV highlights were over, they end it with a bang leaving everyone wanting more.
I agree with the "edwardjamessmith" review. The beach dream scene was done very well with long needed MV style, complete with Jan Hammer music strumming away. One of the highlights of the episode in my opinion.
I can't say enough about this episode and I cant wait to watch season 5. You'll feel the same.
