This 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.
We see the splitting up of Crockett and Tubbs in this episode. Tubbs tackles the Clemente case, while Crockett deals with Callie and Charlie. This separation later became more frequent during season 5, an aspect criticized as taking away one of the show's primary appeals - the rapport between the leads.
The last six minutes of this episode, set to Godley & Creme's "Cry," is considered by many fans to be one of the defining scenes of Vice as a show and among the best endings of the second season. This is also one of several episodes that does not end on a freeze frame.
Among the fine details of the "Cry" ending is the cut from the mountains of sand under which the bodies are buried to Callie building mounds of sand - suggesting her complicity in the killings.
Once again, this episode features one of the leading duo becoming involved in a romantic relationship with a woman linked to the case that inevitably ends in heartbreak by the end of the episode, a recurring plot point in the series. In this case, it is Crockett falling for Callie, who is revealed to be in league with the murderous Charlie.
