Donald Chase arrives and wants to hire Blue Moon to locate a woman whom he met at a charity event. He doesn’t know her name; he only has one of her valuable earrings and reports that she has a beauty mark on her face.

Maddie’s parents are immediately suspicious, given that she has turned up unannounced at their home and is not being forthcoming about the duration of her stay.

David and Bert begin to investigate the Chase case and track down the woman he’s looking for in a department store. Melissa reveals to them that she is on the run from her very dangerous husband and believes that David and Bert are out to kill her.

Because Maddie has disappeared and the case reflects his dilemma, David becomes enraged and smashes Maddie’s BMW in the underground garage. This episode includes another fantasy sequence, in which Maddie and David are depicted in Claymation.

SYNOPSIS:

Maddie and David have been together for a month, and she is wondering where their relationship is going. David tries to resolve the situation by taking her out on a proper date. They get a late start on the evening and end up at a laundromat, where they discuss their relationship, dance to the Muzak, and express their love for each other, but she still doesn’t know what she wants. Maddie leaves David in the laundromat saying she needs to be alone and think. She goes home, and the next thing you know, she’s on a plane, flying off into the sunset.

There are three fantasy sequences in this episode. Maddie receives relationship advice from Dr. Joyce Brothers. David gets relationship advice from none other than Ray Charles while he sings and plays the piano in David’s living room.
