Any episode that shows Tubbs' residence?

In Miami Vice, I think we've seen all the homes of the main cast:  Castillo ("Golden Triangle", "Heart of Night", "Borrasca"), Gina ("Give A Little, Take a Little", "Bought and Paid For", "Heroes of the Revolution", and another episode I forgot where an assassin tries to enter apartment before Sonny stops him), Trudy ("The Dutch Oven", "Missing Hours"), Stan ("Made For Each Other", "Hard Knocks", "Too Much, Too Late", "Phil the Shill"), Larry ("Made For Each Other", "Down For The Count"), Sonny (with the St. Vitus Dance, and his new home with Caitlin in "The Rising Sun of Death" and "Love At First Sight"), and even Izzy ("The Cows of October").

 

...except for Rico's home.  Was there an episode that showed his apartment/house?  I know in the second episode, "Heart of Darkness", he comments about his move to Miami, but I don't think the series ever showed his home (interior or exterior).  Am I wrong?

Maybe Walk Alone in the beginning when he's in the sack with the lady friend who ends up getting killed in the restaurant later? Though not entirely sure if they're at his place or hers.

His home is briefly shown in Amen...send money when Tubbs is on the phone with Fay Nell. There is only a glass tile wall in the background. Needless to say that was a studio interior and not a real house.

I take it that when Tubbs is dining with Valerie in 'Rites of Passage' they are in her hotel room and not in his own place?

Correct. Tubbs' home is only shown in Amen...send money throughout the series.

Yes I agree. there is only the phone scene as far as I remember.

In "Little Miss Dangerous" he is using a "safe house" where he takes LMD, so it is not actually his personal house.

I still think Tubbs should have moved onto the Stinger. Crocket was on the Endeavour so they could have been neighbours :)
