Show Notes
SYNOPSIS: The lines often get blurred in Moonlighting, and this is one example. David is still in prison, and nobody knows where he is. It’s not only his friends who are wondering where he is; it’s also network executives. They seek the services of a fortune teller, who uses a crystal ball in an attempt to locate David, but all she sees are bars. Following this, they begin auditioning to find a replacement. We begin to see the auditions, with men in line all dressed up in various outfits that David wore in previous episodes. David is released from solitary confinement and placed in a work gang, where his fellow convicts advise him to marry Maddie.
Bert is using his new, temporary title of Blue Moon supervisor, awarded to him by David, to put the employees in line. David witnesses illegal activities by a prison guard, who is about to kill him, but fortunately, a riot starts, allowing David to escape unnoticed. Agnes and Bert decide to start investigating the whereabouts of “Mr. Addison.”
The episode features a lengthy musical number performed by the prisoners in the style of "When I Was a Lad" from Gilbert and Sullivan's H.M.S. Pinafore.

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.
