Show Notes
SYNOPSIS: When Agnes’s mother, Clara Dipesto, arrives in Los Angeles for a visit, she has just come from a holiday in Mexico. While she was there, she was given a complimentary souvenir on a tour, which she brings as a gift for Agnes. Unbeknownst to Clara, stolen jewels have been planted in the statue to be smuggled into America. Agnes approaches Mr. Addison for a raise, as she wants to look after her mom for the duration of her visit. On their way back from brunch, Agnes and her mother are followed, and hence a Moonlighting car chase begins. Agnes avoids the car that was chasing them but returns to her home to find that it has been ransacked. Agnes leaves her mother at Blue Moon to keep her safe while she and Bert begin investigating the case. Several unsavory characters are on the trail to retrieve the statue and are willing to do anything to get it back. A funny hallway sequence ensues to the music of the William Tell Overture. Agnes and Bert save the day and capture the thieves in a very unusual and creative way. Cybill Shepherd does not appear, and Bruce Willis appears only at the beginning and end of this episode.

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.
