Storyline

- TriviaThis episode is one of the very few in which something slipped past the censors. As we see Callie handing Crockett his drink her baggy shirt sleeve falls open revealing her nipple for a split second before the scene cuts back to Crockett.
- GoofsWhen Gravas runs from Crockett and Tubbs by the pool, his hair and clothes are dry. But when he jumps into his getaway car, his hair and clothes are soaking wet. A shot of Gravas falling or jumping in the pool was probably deleted.

Detective Ricardo Tubbs: [During heat a wave and dripping in sweat] Man, I can dig tropical, but this is outta bounds.

Featured review
Rob Cohen delivers one of the series' finest episodes
"Miami Vice" was, and is, fantastic escapist entertainment. This stylish episode remains one of the series' finest tales and watching it again last night made me more than a little nostalgic for the '80s.
Beginning with the death of a drug dealer at the hands of mad, bad and dangerous-to-know Charlie Basset (Ted Nugent), "Definitely Miami" is gripping television from start to finish. Rob Cohen's direction is as excellent as always and the beginning sequence oozes style, with an accompanying soundtrack from Ted Nugent himself with "Angry Young Man".
Kamala Lopez-Dawson makes her acting debut as the frightened sister of a wanted drugs warlord and the delectable Arielle Dombasle plays the wife of Nugent's psychotic Basset character. Dombasle is probably the most memorable femme fatale to appear in the series. The scene at the pool with Crockett gazing upon her perfect figure is unforgettable.
This is one of the best episodes of "Vice" as it has it all - a gripping script, beautiful visuals and a big budget, fast cars, a great looking cast, a superb soundtrack, and so on. "Definitely Miami" gels perfectly.
10 out of 10. The ending, accompanied by Godley & Creme's "Cry", is glorious stuff. I simply love this episode.
