Episode 10- My Fair David

The Case

Emily Graydon hires Blue Moon because her stepson Clark has been kidnapped and the ransom is $100,000. She wants Dave and Maddie to negotiate a lower ransom, and offers Blue Moon a bonus $1.00 for every $2.00 they save her. They deliver the ransom and find out Clark faked the kidnapping to get money to pay off his gambling debts. Dave and Maddie tell Mrs Graydon that they "rescued" Clark. This way they get a $50,000 bonus, she pays only half what she expected and Clark gets some sympathy. Everyone is happy until Clark is kidnapped again. This time Dave and Maddie are unable to save him. It appears that he is blown up in a van. Later, Dave realizes there were no "bits-o-guy" flying through the air and that Clark duped them again. They go to tell Mrs Graydon the good news and get a surprise.

What's Really Going on Chris?

Maddie walks into Blue Moon and catches David leading the employees in a Limbo contest. She's mad and suggests a 'dissolution' of the business unless he can change into a mature adult for a week. She puts up $3,000 and David accepts until she says no singing. He then says if he can't sing they've got to up the stakes to include "something that really matters." Maddie (thinking he's talking about sex) tells him to "dream on Addison." David says no, no, no, he wants her dignity. She's got to limbo in front of the employees if she loses. She agrees, but tells David if he loses he's got to lay off all unnecessary employees. He agrees. David acts mature until the get the $50,000 bonus. He relapses. In danger of losing the bet, Maddie makes him become a "boss not a buddy" and tells the employees to act businesslike. He even tells Agnes to stop rhyming when answering the phone. Later, the employees revolt against Maddie for "de-Daving" Mr Addison. After a while, Maddie finally admits to David that she misses the 'old' David and wants him back. He says she can have the 'old' David back for $3,000 and a limbo. She gets mad. He loses the bet anyway when he sings in celebration when they think they solved the case. The next day Maddie let's him off the hook and the employees keep their jobs. David admits he would've made her limbo.

Chris's Obsessive Analysis

This one is pretty straightforward, Maddie finally admits that despite his juvenile antics and less than businesslike behavior (not to mention off tune singing) she likes David the way he is.
