Vice and Easy

This week on Miami Vice: Crockett and Tubbs are introduced to the world of underground art dealing when a big deal goes bust and they "hot" goods Vice finds turns out to be paintings. The main piece of the group is missing and Det. Whitehead from the NYPD (Michael Chiklis) is in Miami to help locate the art by prepping Crockett and Tubbs on how to penetrate the art world and we get some retconning of Tubbs from Season One, but also some great outfits so it all works out. The Scianti family - known for other types of deals - are involved and run a gallery where Tubbs goes under as a art history professor/connoisseur/dealer with the family to get closer. Joey and Julia, the children, are carrying on the family business by making deals for Joey and running the gallery for Julia and they also butt heads over what the future holds for the main piece of art their dad stole years ago and the drama it will bring as Whitehead, Vice and the Sciantis fight over it.

This week on Miami Vice: Crockett gets a surprise visit from his estranged cousin, Jack, who is in a bit of a jam - as always. He swears he's going straight this time and gets himself a job selling pool accessories. Turns out a con man never changes their spots and and he conned the wrong guy. Robbing Peter to pay Paul has its consequences when he's leant counterfeit money (John Santucci is back!) and Jack is really in deep and needs Sonny's help. Sonny tries to smooth things over with the fabulously dressed kingpin who printed that counterfeit money himself - Escandero, to try and get his cousin out of trouble AGAIN!
