Aside from the darker montage, use of primary colors and subdued mise-en-scene, season 4 also stands out for the descent the characters make. This episode sets the darkest tone aside the Burnett/Crockett storyline and, in many ways, predicts the indie noir scene of the 90s. Acting is tops here and Don Johnson's growth into the role becomes fully evident by the stsrt of the fourth season. Penelope Ann Miller, always highly capable and Paul Guilfoyle, add dimension to the episode. Nice cameo from Kelly Lynch of indie Drugstore Cowboy fame.
