    Just ok

    Maddie and Dave got a cushy job doing the security with a company that works in technology, doing the security for that company. Especially David enjoys this (maybe a little too much). However, despite Blue Moon doing their security, company secrets keep getting out and when an important demonstration goes awry and Maddie and Dave lose the job, they start to investigate and uncover that things aren't what they seem...

    The episode starts well, but unfortunately begins to fizzle out a bit after 10-15 minutes. I like the night time atmosphere and the whole "Sweet cakes and Papa Bear" bit, but something just seems missing in this episode. Maybe it's the case, the run time or pacing issues.

    I give this episode a 7/10.

      In this episode Bruce Willis' character references the Twilight Zone by humming the theme and parodying the intros. That same year Bruce Willis appeared in the Twilight Zone (1985) episode "Shatterday"

      Just before Vivian is crushed by the concrete, it is obvious that "she" is a mannequin on a string and not a person moving.
