Moonlighting 1.03

Read the Mind -- See the Movie

David and Maddie have been hired by SRT, a company that is developing a weapon for the US military. They get fired after a test goes horribly wrong. David is ready to move on but Maddie, who found the work, insists that they figure out what went wrong.

She has dinner with the president of SRT's number one competitor. She asks him how he found out what SRT was developing. He tells them he found out from a psychic. Maddie and David visit the psychic. David steals the psychic's appointment book which reveals that Brian, the current head of SRT, has been visiting the psychic.

David and Maddie return that night and stake out the psychic's home. They learn that night that the psychic has been helping Brian to convince his aging father, who owns SRT, that Vivian, Brian's sister, is incapable of running SRT.

Maddie and David are spotted while surveilling the house. They flee by undressing and jumping into the pool. Later that night they get a call from Vivian. She asks them to meet her at SRT. She tries to kill them with a laser gun but ends up bringing down a piece of the ceiling on herself.

Thoughts

This was a little jumbled. I didn't enjoy it terribly much. It seemed to be more complicated (laser guns, sibling rivalry, psychics, swimming pools) than necessary for a story of this length. I'm starting to have second thoughts about continuing with this show. I will probably watch the last three episodes in the season but beyond that I'm not so sure.
