Here's the episode listing:

• the Prodigal Son - Crockett and Tubbs take on the Big Apple to crack a Colombian drug cartel in the premiere for season two. Along they way they encounter Peter Allen, Pam Grier, Gene Simmons, Charles S. Dutton, and Penn [of "& Teller" fame]. You might also recognize Bill Smitrovich, who played a dirty cop in the series premiere. This episode will always have a special place in my heart. Not because it takes place in New York or because I enjoyed the way they used Glen Frey's "You Belong To the City" or Phil Collins' "Take Me Home", but because Hurricane Gloria knocked out my cable when the premiere was scheduled. In fact, up until now, I hadn't even seen the episode in its entirety. Oh, and it was also directed by Paul Michael Glaser of "Starsky & Hutch" fame (the TV show NOT the movie).
  
  
• Whatever Works - After a great start with "the Prodigal Son", the show stumbles slightly with this look into the world of Santería. I wasn't really impressed with the show and guest-star Eartha Kitt was downright creepy (IMO). However, the disappointment was slightly offset with an amusing sub-plot that saw Sonny and Izzy try to get Sonny's repossessed Ferrari back. Oh, and I enjoyed seeing the Power Station, an 80's "supergroup" comprised of members from Duran Duran and Chic. It was just disappointing that Robert Palmer wasn't in the band at the time.
  
  
• Out Where the Buses Don't Run - "24" Co-creator Joel Surnow returns to co-write this episode about an ex-vice cop (Bruce McGill) who may or may not have lost his marbles. Keep your eyes open for David Strathairn ("Good Night, And Good Luck").
  
  
• the Dutch Oven - Get your mind out of the gutter. This Abel Ferrara directed episode has nothing to do with the first thing that popped into your head when you read the title of this episode. Instead, "Big Booty" Trudy takes center-stage when she hooks up with an ex-boyfriend after shooting someone on the job. Along the way, she meets his friend (Giancarlo Esposito), who's a drug dealer and she's forced to decide where her professional life ends and her personal one begins. David "Buster Poindexter" Johansen also puts in an appearance.
  
  
• Buddies - A Miami crime boss puts a hit out on a woman who's running from her abusive husband when she inadvertently grabs some incriminating documents after fending of the sexual advances of Nathan Lane. That right. Nathan "Birdcage" Lane. Meanwhile, Crockett's old Army buddy (James Remar) could have more of a connection to all of this than Sonny realizes. Frankie Valli also guest-stars.
  
  
• Junk Love - While Tubbs is undercover in a whorehouse run by jazz legend Miles Davis [!], he comes across a hooker who has a connection to a drug dealer named Silva that the squad is trying to bust. However, her true feelings for Silva and her drug addiction could hinder the operation. This particular episode dragged for me, however, anytime Miles was on, my television radiated a high level of cool.
  
  
• Tale Of the Goat - In what i'm sure was a tribute to Wes Craven's "the Serpent And the Rainbow", Prince's papa from "Purple Rain" - Clarence Williams III's body is shipped back to Miami for his funeral. Unfortunately, he ain't dead yet and once he's up and running, he proceeds in settling old scores with the likes of Mykelti Williamson (making his second appearance on Vice, and not surviving this one either).
  
  
• Bushido - "Bushido" gives us an oh-so-brief look into Lieutenant Castillo's mysterious past. Dean Stockwell guest-stars as an old partner from Castillo's "company" days who's on the run from both the Feds and the KGB. Also running with Dean is his son and his wife, who happens to be an ex-KGB agent. This Edward James Olmos directed episode was one of the better ones of the season. However, as much as I might have liked David Rasche's portrayal of "Sledge Hammer", I just couldn't buy him as the head KGB assassin.
  
  
• Bought & Paid For - A friend/housekeeper of Gina's is raped by an arrogant Bolivian playboy. Joaquim DeAlmeida ("24") and Lynn Whitfield guest-star. As if an extremely attractive Whitfield wasn't enough of a reason to catch this episode, El DeBarge also shows up to lipsync two songs! In spite of the ambiguous ending, I thought this was a pretty entertaining episode highlighted by a race between a Ferrari and a Lamborghini down a Miami highway.
  
  
• Back In the World - This snore-fest of an episode deals with Crockett's Vietnam days. Seems an old war buddy of his (Bob Balaban) is now a journalist and has some info regarding an American general (G. Gordon Liddy!) who may or may not have smuggled heroin into the U.S. using deceased soldiers to do it. Iman and Patty D'Arbanville guest-star in this Don Johnson directed episode.
  
  
• Phil the Shill - Hot on the heels of his blockbuster album "No Jacket Required", Phil Collins costars in this entertaining episode that also features a guest appearance by Emo Phillips and Kyra Sedgwick. Phil, the host of a soon-to-be defunct game show, weasels his way into the drug trade. By the end of the episode, he's obviously way out of his league.
  
  
• Definitely Miami - This bizarre episode starts off with a slightly attractive lady by the pool rubbing Crockett's ice cubes all over her bikinied body, and ends with Ted Nugent in a shootout. How we get from point A to B isn't that interesting of a ride, but what would one expect from Rob Cohen (director of future classics "the Fast And the Furious" and "XXX").
  
  
• Yankee Dollar - Finding himself the odd man out after everyone makes plans for the evening, Crockett decides to calls up a stewardess friend of his. I don't want to give away too much, but from there it turns into yet another episode about cocaine trafficking and double crossing. There is a bright spot however - Austin Pendelton guest stars.
  
  
• One Way Ticket - Sonny's friend, who happens to be a deputy district attorney, is gunned down in the middle of his own wedding. However, the attorney (guest star John Heard) who'll be defending the hit man, was also the one responsible for getting Crockett's old partner's murderer off. Keep an eye out for series composer Jan Hammer during the wedding.
  
  
• Little Miss Dangerous - This one is pretty straight forward - Tubbs gets involved with someone whom he doesn't know is a serial killer dubbed "the Crayon Killer". 80's pop star Fiona guests.
  
  
• Florence Italy - Indy 500 driver Danny Sullivan makes his acting debut in the episode playing a (take a wild guess) Grand Prix racer who may or may not be responsible for the death of prostitute Florence Italy. Danny's acting is not as good as his driving, but keep an eye out as the Fat Boys make a gratuitous appearance.
  
  
• French Twist - Sonny becomes enthralled with a French Interpol agent after teaming up to hunt down an international drug dealer. Tubbs gets jealous. Okay, so he doesn't really get jealous...just suspicious. Watching some of the acting of the supporting characters in this episode, i'd be suspicious of the person doing the hiring.
  
  
• the Fix - After a surprising bust, Crockett and Tubbs cross paths with a corrupt judge who holds court in one of the funkiest art deco courtrooms that I EVER seen. Harvey Fierstein plays an attorney that helps twist the screws, while Michael Richards (yep, Cosmo Kramer himself!) plays a drug dealer and "CineSchlock-O-Rama" mainstay Dick Miller directs.
  
  
• Payback - Crockett is suspected of being a dirty cop after meeting with a jailed drug dealer who blows his brains out right in front of him. However, before the thug was locked up, he hides a stash of drug kingpin Mario Fuente's money. Dan Hedaya ("Cheers", "the Tortellis") and Frank Zappa [!] guest star.
  
  
• Free Verse - I could not, for the life of me, get into this episode. It was just that uninteresting. Well, okay, so maybe besides being extremely boring, it was slightly confusing too. It has something to do with a poet in a wheelchair that Crockett and Tubbs are assigned to trying to keep two wheels ... errr ... steps ahead of an assassination plot. Unfortunately, it seems Senor Poet Lauriat is drawn the Miami's lively nightlife. The only think that kept me awake was trying to keep an eye out for Luis Guzman's cameo and playing "Where's Michael Bay?". That's right, future director of such cinematic classics as "Pearl Harbor" and "Bad Boys II" makes the briefest of appearances as "Goon #3".
  
  
• Trust Fund Pirates - I'm still trying to figure out which was funnier: a recent skit on Saturday Night Live about a Pirate Convention or this episode where Sonny and Rico are in pursuit of yuppie pirates. Along the way, the fellas come across Tommy Chong, Denny Dillon and Gary Cole, who plays a smuggler/pilot who is looking to settle down. However, things aren't always what they seem. Bookending this episode is a song from Randy Newman touting the beauty that is Miami and an appearance from Detective John Munch himself, Richard Belzer, who runs a "pirate" radio station and sports an eye patch. Get it? The episode is FULL of pirates!
  
  
• Sons And Lovers - We end the second season with one of its best episodes. "Sons And Lovers" features the return of the individuals that were responsible for putting Crockett and Tubbs together: the Calderones. This time around, Calderone's son (John Leguizamo, making his first of two appearances as this character) has a hit out on Tubbs to avenge his father's death (even though, technically, Crockett is the one who gunned him down). However, Angelina Calderone discovers the plot and does her best to prevent the hit from succeeding. Why's that? Well, you'll just have to watch the episode.
