Moonlighting The Podcast

Show Notes

SYNOPSIS: It’s the morning after Maddie and David have slept together, and each has a different perspective on the evening. While David is in a wonderful mood thinking that he’s finally got Maddie in his grasp, she wants to pretend that “last night never happened.” Maddie suggests they make “a pact” that their sleeping together not only did “not happen,” but will not happen again. David refuses her “pact,” and is hurt. Ultimately, they end up making love again . . and again throughout the episode. Meanwhile, a wealthy heiress, Margaret Kendall, approaches Blue Moon to prove that her boyfriend loves her and is not after her money. Margaret’s father disapproves of the relationship and is willing to do whatever it takes to stop it going any further to protect his assets. She wants to prove her father wrong. Subsequently, her father is (seemingly) killed in a house fire and both his daughter and the boyfriend confess to the crime, both attempting to save the other from prosecution.

SYNOPSIS: David insists he’s perfectly fine with Maddie’s surprise marriage to Walter Bishop—but only because he’s convinced it isn’t real. Determined to prove his theory, he begins testing Maddie’s feelings at every opportunity, even calling her “Mrs. Bishop” in front of clients. Maddie is furious, while Agnes quietly admits she’s heartbroken that the couple she always believed belonged together may never be. As Terri prepares to give birth and Herbert starts digging into Walter’s mysterious past, it’s clear that nothing about this marriage adds up. Meanwhile, Blue Moon takes on what appears to be a straightforward case involving a wife who shoots her husband after hiring the agency to pay off his mistress. But when new evidence emerges, Maddie and David uncover a far more complicated conspiracy. Their investigation culminates in a classic Moonlighting car chase featuring a Mercedes convertible, Maddie’s BMW, and an unlikely post office van, delivering the perfect blend of mystery, comedy, and chaos.
