Plot

Ike is forced to deal with the disgruntled father of Mike Strauss, after he suddenly disappears. Meanwhile, the DA uses Danny to help him fight organized crime. Elsewhere, Stevie decides to continue his affair with Lily, despite discovering who she truly is. Meanwhile, Stevie Evans' affair with Lily Diamond heats up. At least Stevie gets more action than poor Danny, who clearly won’t be taking it to the next level with Mercedes until her mother, Maria, makes it out of Cuba and arrives safely in Miami Beach. Given the location and timeframe of the series, it’s no wonder that the Cuba storyline is a thread that runs through the lives of many of the characters, including Ben, who’s frustrated with Castro’s rise to power (“that bearded prick”), and Victor, who, in addition to being Maria’s husband and Mercedes’ dad, is the general manager of the Miramar Playa. Again, though, all we really did was get further reminded that things are crazy in Cuba and Maria’s still stuck in the middle of it all.[1]
