Episode 74- God's Work- 11/6/87

When financial prodigy Felipe Cruz returns from New York to reunite with his family in Miami, Crockett and Tubbs are called to investigate whether he is home for personal reasons, or to help his father-a noted drug kingpin in Miami.

Review: Average episode that ranks higher than "The Big Thaw", but not as high as "Child's Play." A young Esai Morales is convincing as the young son struggling to come to terms with his own personal demons. Not only has he not returned to help with the fmaily "business", but rather to make sure his former lover seeks refuge in the AIDS shelter of his uncle. In looking back, it's interesting that the writer's were bold enough to cover the AIDS epidemic (which was still a touchy subject in 1987), and the murder of a priest (always touchy) in the same episode. Worth a watch.

3 out of 5 stars
