Maddie is tired of being the bad guy at the office and is upset that while she feels she has compromised with David, he isn't behaving mature and professional enough. They make a bet that David can't behave like a mature guy for a week.

In the meantime, Blue Moon is being hired to pay off the kidnappers of a rich lady's gambling-addicted stepson. They succeed, but find out it was the son himself who had faked his kidnapping. Before they can break the good news to her though, he disappears again...

This episode starts with the famous limbo scene at the office and gives us a nice back and forth between Maddie and Dave and their very different attitude and beliefs. It's interesting to see that as Maddie seemingly won, she loses the respect and love of Agnes and even she herself starts to miss David being David.

The case is not bad either, although as it's unfortunately often the case on Moonlighting, it seems a bit rushed.

Overall, it's a good episode and I give it a good 7/10.
