Good Trudy centred episode

Warning: Spoilers
This is another great episode of "Miami Vice", exciting from start to finish with a bit more emotion and less comic relief than most episodes.

It opens with Trudy applying some rather dazzling make-up before heading off to a night club where the squad are preparing for a routine drugs bust. Things go wrong however when somebody crashes the party; stealing the drugs and the buy money Tubbs was carrying. As the thief makes his getaway Crockett and Trudy set off in hot pursuit, a pursuit which ends with the thief opening fire and being fatally shot by Trudy.

She is upset and heads off to a club where she meets an old flame called David and his friend Adonis who boasts of his ability to supply drugs. At first she tries to turn a blind eye but the more she sees the more she knows she must get the rest of the squad involved despite knowing it is likely to damage any chance of a relationship with David.

Olivia Brown did a good job as Trudy, it was nice to see her character get a major role in an episode.
