This episode opens with Crockett making an undercover drug deal; it is interrupted by customs but the dealers isn't arrested; Sonny helps him get away because he is small fry; Sonny is after his boss Morales. After the bust the customs officer they are dealing with invites Crockett and Tubbs to join him for dinner with his brother; a star in the sport of Jai Alai. The brother can't attend though; he is off with a prostitute. When the girl questions the brother's performance and sexuality he turns violent and attacks her. It appears that she is dead; indeed he thinks he has killed her. He hasn't though; it was all filmed as part of an elaborate plot to blackmail the customs officer. The girl is later found dead but it was her employers not the sports star that killed her. With the customs officer doing whatever he can to keep his brother out of jail Crockett and Tubbs are in danger when Morales learns they are actually cops.
While I don't think this was as good as the previous episode it was still solidly entertaining. There were a couple of nice surprises; even though the fact that the death was initially faked was revealed quickly it came as a bit of a surprise. Guest star Carlos Cestero did a fine job playing customs officer Frank Arriolla; a good man forced to make a tough decision. Although the episode involves the sport of Jai Alai no knowledge of the game is needed to enjoy the episode. There is a reasonable amount of action including a couple of impressive explosions and the regular shoot outs.
