Junk Love: 
Tubbs is on the inside, Switek and Zito listen in, Crockett's making the rounds, Joplin and Calabrese are in costume. The prostitution bust is going down any minute. Until glass shatters and a perp comes running out of his room. He smashed his girl into a mirror for biting him. Tubbs grabs and subdues him. Crockett and the girls come running in. The victim's too high to give her name. The pimp is arrested and identified as Ivory Jones, who used to smuggle Vietnamese women into the States either to marry servicemen at a price or to work in his brothel. Castillo knows him from his time in Southeast Asia, along with Juan Carlos Silva, whom Ivory no longer speaks to. They still have one connection--Rosella Maestres, the girl assaulted in the brothel. She admits running to Ivory to escape Silva, but Tubbs doesn't seem willing to believe her. Crockett does believe when Rosella says she wants off the heroin Silva and his protégée  Roberto Pinaro are supplying her. But right after the nurse throws them out, she disappears from the hospital. From the files it looks like Silva and Pinaro are purging their organization. Sonny is willing to work with Rosella to get to them, but Tubbs continues to be obstinate, citing her addiction. But in truth, there's no other way. Castillo meets with Ivory as he's making bail and makes the deal to go to Silva about Rosella and find out how Silva is moving the drugs. Acting on a tip, Crockett and Tubbs observe Silva receiving a shipment of drugs smuggled inside fresh fish. But just as the crew returns the boat to leave, it explodes! Crockett and Tubbs are shocked, now seeing firsthand evidence of Silva's purge. Next, Ivory accompanies them to a government auction. He says one of Silva's competitors was brought up on charges and is now selling off assets to pay his lawyers. Silva can't resist snapping up his rival's equipment, and sure enough, he arrives with Rosella on his arm. Ivory is certain that Pinaro was blown away on the boat, but doubts that Rosella doesn't know yet. Crockett has a little fun at the auction by driving up the bids on a yacht so Silva ends up paying almost a half-million dollars for it when he could've landed it for a quarter-million. Later on they meet at the marina bar and Silva invites Crockett and Tubbs to a party that night. Ivory won't be joining them. At the party, Silva shows off a painting of his humble childhood home, making his point that everything is possible if one wants it bad enough. He then leaves Rosella to show them around. Crockett believes what Rosella says, but she ends up crossing swords with Tubbs. She says if she didn't hate Silva, she'd blow their cover, but he counters that they'd reveal where she was found. Alone with Rosella, Crockett tells her that Silva has murdered Pinaro, but she doesn't believe it, pointing the finger at one of Silva's rivals and naming other dealers murdered, including one Rosella was engaged to. Meanwhile, Tubbs slips into the security room and meets up with Silva, who asks them to do a little smuggling job for him. When Tubbs meets back up with Crockett, he lets him know, but he still isn't willing to believe Rosella. Crockett still can't figure out why she doesn't just leave. While Switek and Zito are bugging Silva's boat, Rosella meets with Joplin and Calabrese to reveal that Silva has murdered every man who tried to help her. And now Ivory has just been added to the list. As the cops leave, Silva steps from the shadows. Gina digs through more files and discovers the truth is far more sick than they could have imagined. Crockett and Tubbs are already out for the pickup, only to find no drugs at the drop site. This could be a trap! What's worse, Silva switches boats, so the backup can't find them. Silva arrives and opens fire on Crockett and Tubbs, but then orders his gunners to stop. He tells Rosella that he won't kill them to show his love for her, but then hands her the gun, daring her, in full hearing of the cops, to kill her father. He's been molesting her for years! After a long agonizing moment, Crockett flinches away as Rosella aims and says, "Good-bye, Daddy." Incidentally, Ivory Jones was portrayed in this episode by the late great jazz legend Miles Davis. It's a slight disappointment that he didn't contribute any music to the soundtrack.
