Crockett, Tubbs, and Switek come across the body of a frozen reggae singer's body during a would-be drug raid, and a battle ensues between the singer's estranged husband and the doctor who put him on ice. As the two parties fight for the frozen body, it is apparent that they both have ulterior motives for doing so.
Review: Yes,everything mentioned above was not a joke. This is only one of several rather ridiculous plot lines that will permeate season four. You can only imagine how quality actors like Don Johnson and Edward James Olmos had to soldier through this episode. Izzy (Martin Ferraro) is always good for a laugh or two, which makes you(only for a split second) forget at times how stupid the story really is. As mentioned earlier, the writer's either hit the boat or missed it with the stories this year. They missed it this time.

Episode 71- Death and the Lady- 10/16/87
Crockett and Tubbs look into the possibility that an on-screen murder which took place in an adult film may have been all too real.
Review:The dark and eerie trends of the first two episodes of this season surface again. And despite the plot coming off as a bit far fetched, the episode does hold your interest until the very end. The fact that there are two lookalikes of the same women (both played by Kelly Lynch) is a bit much, but they soon shift the focus to the derranged director. In the end, Crockett (who has reasons of his own for sticking with the case) gives the director (who is found innocent of the murder) a taste of his own bloody medicine. There are no happy endings or bright pastels to liven the mood here. Dark from start to finish.

Episode 70- Amen....Send Money- 10/2/87
Tubbs finds himself caught between a battle of two television evangelists when the assistant of one of the evangelists accuses him of rape.
Review: Any episode featuring Brian Dennehy (who plays one of the evangelists) is at least worth a look. This episode is a little uneven at times, but Dennehy and the supporting cast keep it together. For the level of seriousness that a rape charge holds, Tubbs is cleared of the matter rather quickly and without any real fanfare. Most of the focus after the accusation concerns the two feauding former partners. The recurring theme of irony surfaces again during this episode as it will for most of the season. You'll have to watch the very end to see.

Season Four Episode 69- Contempt Of Court- 9/25/87
Sonny and Rico bring a reputed mobster to trial. However, when Crockett refuses to reveal his informant at the trial, he winds up in jail himself.
Review: Overall a solid episode with an ironic twist at the end. Sonny's incarceration for refusing to reveal Keats at Mosca's trial is what ultimately led to the death of Keats. Stanley Tucci is completely convincing as mobster Frank Mosca. So much to the point where you wish that Keats' son would have shot him dead in the end. However, Mosca is rumored to surface again, so stay tuned.
Though not the epic season opener that we're used to from Miami Vice, it still gets the job done.
