Camille
David and Maddie hire Camille Brand, a woman on the run from a man pretending to be a police officer. They don't know about her fugitive status, just that she saved the life of a politician and is about to be given the key to the city. David figures that she will be an excellent hire but Maddie has her doubts.
Camille rejects David's sales pitch when he first makes it. When the phony police officer shows up and tries to shake her down she reconsiders. She shows up at the office of the Blue Moon Detective Agency and finds herself greeted enthusiastically by the staff of the office.
David gives up his office for Camille. The phony cop eventually tracks her down. There is a chase. The fourth wall is broken. The episode ends with Maddie and David saying goodbye to one another until they meet again next season.
Camille was played by Whoopi Goldberg whom I know best from Star Trek: The Next Generation and The Color Purple (1985). She also played herself in an episode of The Tick (2016) and was in Toy Story 3 (2010).
The phony police officer was played by Judd Nelson whom I know best from films like The Breakfast Club (1985) and New Jack City (1991).
I liked the ending to this episode. The beginning wasn't bad. I wasn't so crazy about the middle. There was a section where is didn't feel like much of anything was happening. It felt as though the script was still in the process of being written when they started shooting. Not a great episode. It felt like there's so much more they could have done with Whoopi Goldberg and Judd Nelson but instead what they inserted was a bunch of sitting around and then an extended fourth wall breaking scene.
