* EasilyForgiven: Zigzagged. Rodney is initially intent to making Del Boy pay when he discovers that the latter purposely booked the Miami trip on the week Cassandra was attending her seminars/interviews. However, that all changes when Rodney realises that he threatened Don Ochetti, the head of the Mafia, that he mistook for Del Boy. Now horrified that his own life is in danger, Rodney immediately shifts his priorities and escapes the mansion with Del. It is possible that Rodney feels that Del Boy’s life being in danger was enough punishment and forgets about getting even with Del. Although, when Del admits to Rodney that he wishes he had never come on the holiday, Rodney angrily reminds the former that he invited himself.

Meanwhile, Rodney contacts Cassandra and learns that Del knew she would be unable to go on holiday that particular week, and had therefore arranged it in order to guarantee himself a free holiday. An enraged Rodney encounters Vinny -- believing him to be Del -- and pins him up against the wall, promising revenge. However, just after the confused Vinny leaves, Rodney meets Del, who claims he set up the holiday in order to lay low so as to avoid any repercussions from the Church over the communion wine deal. Rodney, though, is unable to understand how Del managed to get changed so quickly, and begins to think there is someone in the mansion who looks like Del.
Whilst browsing around the family mansion, Del discovers the truth after inadvertently meeting two Colombian drug barons who mistake him for Vinny. After the meeting, he finds Rodney and tells him what happened. Realising that he has just attacked and threatened a mafia boss, Rodney agrees to flee. The two brothers escape from the mansion and soon end up in the Everglades, only evading capture by the fortuitous arrival of the holidaying Boycie and Marlene.
After anonymously leaving evidence against the Occhettis at a the park ranger station, the Trotters go straight to the airport and wait there until the next flight home. While they do so, it's revealed on the TV news that Vinny has been found guilty of all charges, while Rico has been arrested for illegally hunting in the Everglades. Upon returning to the flat, Del and Rodney find Raquel and Albert sitting amid many stacked boxes of white wine.

Del and Rodney arrive in Miami. It emerges that boss of a local mafia family, Vincenzo "Vinny the Chain" Occhetti, is on trial and facing life imprisonment for murder, kidnapping and drug trafficking. He also looks exactly like Del, which is noticed when Del and Rodney are seen by Vinny's son Rico in a bar. Rico hatches a plan to have Del killed with the intention of tricking everyone into thinking that Vinny himself has been murdered (thus sparing him the trial and almost-certain imprisonment), and with this in mind befriends the Trotters.

The Florida episode. Also the second part of the 1991 Christmas special. First broadcast 25 December 1991.
Del and Rodney arrive in Miami. It emerges that boss of a local mafia family, Vincenzo "Vinny the Chain" Occhetti, is on trial and facing life imprisonment for murder, kidnapping and drug trafficking. He also looks exactly like Del, which is noticed when Del and Rodney are seen by Vinny's son Rico in a bar. Rico hatches a plan to have Del killed with the intention of tricking everyone into thinking that Vinny himself has been murdered (thus sparing him the trial and almost-certain imprisonment), and with this in mind befriends the Trotters.
After arranging for their camper van to be robbed, Rico invites Del and Rodney to stay at the family mansion. Over the following days, several attempts to kill Del, including shooting him in a beach-side restaurant and sending him off on a jet ski with a broken throttle, fail.
Meanwhile, Rodney contacts Cassandra and learns that Del knew Cassandra would be unable to go on holiday that particular week, and had therefore arranged it in order to guarantee himself a free holiday. An enraged Rodney encounters Vinny -- believing him to be Del -- and pins him up against the wall, promising revenge. However, just after the confused Vinny leaves, Rodney meets Del, who claims he did it in order to lay low so as to avoid any repercussions from the Church over the communion wine deal. Rodney, though, is unable to understand how Del managed to get changed so quickly, and begins to think there is someone in the mansion who looks like Del.
Whilst browsing around the family mansion, Del discovers the truth after inadvertently meeting two Colombian drug barons who mistake him for Vinny. After the meeting, he finds Rodney and tells him what happened. Realising that he has just attacked and threatened a mafia boss, Rodney agrees to flee. The two brothers escape from the mansion and soon end up in the Everglades, only evading capture by the fortuitous arrival of the holidaying Boycie and Marlene.
After anonymously leaving evidence against the Occhettis at a the park ranger station, the Trotters go straight to the airport and wait there until the next flight home. While they do so, it's revealed on the TV news that Vinny has been found guilty of all charges, while Rico has been arrested for illegally hunting in the Everglades. Upon returning to the flat, Del and Rodney find Raquel and Albert sitting amid many stacked boxes of white wine.
