Miami Vice S02E04 - The Dutch Oven
in gin rummy you collect cards that match in sets of three, and discard ones that don't match in exchange for new ones, including any card ditched by the other player on their last turn
Sonny discards a king. Unfortunately, that was the last card the other player needed to match with his two kings and call "gin"
Sonny did have another king, and based on his partner's reaction they were also waiting on a third king only to find the other guy had them all along
Sonny's last minute decision cost him the game, but waiting it out for that card could also have cost him the game since both players were equally matched
this fits the episode's theme: is it better to let a criminal kill me or another cop, or should I face the consequences of killing a citizen?
ultimately, there is no winning strategy
#based on me relearning the rules really quick#fr sonny should have ditched his 10 of hearts but the rest of his hand made sense either way#since the three old guys do not have imdb listings#and the two silent ones aren't even credited#i'm assuming they are locals who got a guest spot#actress Ilse however returns in S4#miami vice#miami vice day 2023#sonny crockett#don johnson#miami#80s aesthetic#80s nostalgia#80s tv#80sedit#80s#dnly gifs#dnly tv#long post
