...and AFTER A MOMENT....DAVID looks up.....and SEES SOMETHING we don't.... DAVID (to someone we don't see): Hey Pal....that girl you're dancing wit? She's no redhead. ...and he promptly passes out...his head hitting the floor with a THUD.....and we FADE OUT lmao Diane- that's so funny! I love the bits the censors take out - naughty Glenn! :-) I still don't get why they took it out, though. Of course, I understand what it means, but was it that bad?

(I'm sounding like a David's girl here I know :-) what then? Don't say you're NOT in that gang! Wow, I'm a David's girl too! I thought that most of the ladies here are Maddie's girls.

I noticed that this episode felt especially 80s with the Pet Shop Boys music. Although Moonlighting is an 80s series, the opening music makes it feel like a throwback to an earlier era. And there's also a lot of MoTown music playing throughout the series, so again, throwback cues. Even the look of Maddie Hayes and, to an extent David Maddison, have that old Hollywood vibe to them.
But in this episode we get 80s synth-pop and it's great! Toby is very 80s in her style and fashion.
So David did all this just to prove himself to Maddie, yet it backfired on him, because due to his fame, he hardly got a chance to see Maddie, and on top of that, she felt so useless that she wanted to let go of him so he could be great on his own.
I thought it was a little surreal to have all those people breaking down doors to see David, and him having an entourage in his office. I was waiting for it to be a dream sequence but no, it was all real.
It was a fun little episode but despite it being appropriate for the tone of the show, it didn't feel right when organized crime and contract killings are treated so cavalier.
For example, it never occurred to David that having his name all in the papers and on TV cracking all these mob crimes was going to draw the mobs attention? Okay, maybe he thought he's a private detective, he's like a cop in a way, so he's untouchable in that way.
But when he gets exposed to the mob guy, the sleep talker, the escort Toby just volunteers to her client that she's the one snitching to the detective? She's the one that got all those guys locked up? That would be like signing your own death warrant.

Maddie and Dave celebrate 1 year of Blue Moon as a team. The festivities are soon dampened by an argument over a potential raise and Maddie making light of David's detective skills. After Maddie already left the office, David is visited by another blonde (Lisa Blount) who wants to warn him about an imminent homicide. She tells David that one of her clients (she's a lady of the night) talks in his sleep and that she gained that information through him.
David doesn't really seem to believe her, but is shocked to see the next day that she was indeed correct! He suggests a partnership...
This episode is definitely one of the better ones in season 2. Lisa Blount and Bruce Willis had a great chemistry and it's interesting to see how David treats other women and is treated by them. It's kind of a shame that Maddie never really knows (she takes a step aside in this episode) because she might be jealous.
The episode has that strong 80s vibe I love about Moonlighting. Not only do we get some nice shots of LA at night, we are also shown the dating scene, here in a smokey bar where David's client works.
And although David soon swims on a wave of success, he doesn't seem to be happy and misses Maddie.
The case has a more comedic than serious overtone, but that's ok in this case because the relation between David and his client (basically just business, but with a hint of care and romance) becomes the strong part and focus.
I give this episode an 8/10.

Really love this episode. I rewatched it two times in the last days just to see the cute girls of 80s. Its a glamour that cannot be found today. One tip: rewatching the episode in black and white makes it to feel like in a black noir movie with these pretty girls around our David Just check the scene when D is in the office with Tobby. David looks like Philip Marlowe in a classic movie. Night, shoes over the table and a cute femme fatale woman asking for help!!!! So great!!
