Oh, dear. I'm not sure if this is a Miami Vice homage or just a quirky music choice, but Phil Collins is singing "In the Air Tonight." Remember all those rumors about how Phil Collins saw some dude refuse to help a drowning victim, so then he invited the guy to one of his concerts and played this song to him? I can't believe I really used to think that was true in junior high. That story has about as many logic holes as this episode. Anyway. Cassidy and Kane meet again on the beach. Cassidy tells Kane that Van has money and wants a car. Kane orders Cassidy to pick up Van and deliver him to Kane there, at the beach. If everything goes smoothly, Van will get his car. But if not.... Cassidy kisses Kane before he can finish that sentence. Cut to Cassidy and Van driving through the night toward the beach. Cassidy suggests that they skip the meeting and just keep driving somewhere and start their lives over. Van says that he needs the deal, but then he'll go wherever she wants. Cassidy says that he needs to work on his lying. The actress playing Cassidy is really terrible. It doesn't help that she's given such awful dialogue, but she's supposed to sound all hurt that Van won't run away with her, and instead she sounds like she's mildly disappointed that she ran out of her favorite cereal and has to eat the J.V. cereal.
The camera pans down a line of SWAT team members, armed and ready to help Deaqon. The last one is Billie. Hee! Who thought it would be a good idea to put Kelly Kapowski in military gear? Meanwhile, a party is going on at Deaqon's pad. "Me So Horny" by 2 Live Crew plays. Wow, I just had about a thousand high-school flashbacks, and none of them was positive. Tubby tells Deaqon that they need more champagne, so he heads to the kitchen and pulls another bottle out of the fridge. When he closes the fridge, he gets clocked in the head with a gun, which is held by a hockey-mask-wearing Kane. As he falls, his pager slides across the floor, out of reach. The hockey-mask crew orders the partygoers to the floor. Kane uses plastic handcuffs to tie Deaqon's hands behind his back. Billie waits anxiously with the SWAT team. Van rides with Cassidy to meet Kane. How is Kane going to meet them if he's busy robbing Deaqon? I don't know.
