The episode starts out with Stan and Trudy working an operation with Izzy and Noogie when things get crazy real fast. This was filmed on location at the Grove Harbour Cinema, now a charter high school. The Academy of Arts and Minds, 3138 Commodore Plaza.

Then we see the standard season 4 opening montage.

Act 1 opens in the morgue. This was filmed on set inside Greenwich Studios.

Then we cut to the interior of the OCB. Also filmed on set within Greenwich Studios.

Then we see Trudy investigate the house boat. Very strange. This was filmed on location on Key Biscayne. 775 S Mashta Drive This location may look familiar as it is where they filmed the climax of the season 2 finale, Sons and Lovers.

As seen in Sons and Lovers

Then we cut to the interrogation area of the station. This was filmed on set at the studio.

Which leads us to the morgue. Filmed on set at the studio.

Then over to the OCB offices, also filmed on set at the studio.

Then we go to Astrolife. This was likely filmed inside the Grove Harbour Cinema in Coconut Grove that we saw the exterior of in the teaser but I have not confirmed this yet.

Then we go to Trudy’s apartment. Filmed on set inside the studio.

Then we return to the OCB, filmed on set.

This leads us to the Tropics Motel. This was filmed on location at 1349 NE 109th Street in Miami.

Then we go to Trudy’s, filmed on set in the studio.

This leads us to metro where Trudy gets some treatment and we see some of the most bizarre footage of the series. Filmed on set at the studio.

Then we see Tubb’s out “on the road” investigating. This was filmed on Virginia Key, at the north end very near where Crockett’s Daytona was blown up in- When Irish Eyes Are Crying.

Then we return to the houseboat where they find Mrs. Akers. She is dead on the deck.

Then we return to the Astrolife Theater. Likely filmed at the Coconut Grove theater, Grove Harbour Cinema. Location unconfirmed.

Then we see Tubbs arrive in the municipal gravel pit where Crockett’s Daytona was blown up in When Irish Eyes Are Crying.

Perhaps the aliens landed here to pay tribute to the Daytona and Crockett’s loss. At least that makes more sense than the rest of the episode.

Tubbs cuts across the pit and goes head to head with the guys he noticed watching him. Their car can’t fly and they dive off the rim of the pit.

Take me to your leader. This leads us to a reused shot of the blimp hangar at Opa locka airport. Reused from Evan

Then we go inside what is suppose to be the interior of the hangar. Location unknown but likely a set.

Then we return to the OCB (set) where Carson leads Trudy away to the houseboat and Tubbs joins Crockett.

They catch the houseboat immediately outside where it had been moored. They take Trudy and Carson off the boat and leave. Then the houseboat explodes.
