    DAVID DISCOVERS HE'S IN LOVE WITH MADDIE

    After spending a night chasing the wrong Maddie, ending up in jail and then finding out that a stranger had spent the night at her house, David wakes up at the office. Maddie arrives late and David, between a mixture of jealousy and curiosity, gets her to confess that an old childhood friend is in Los Angeles staying at her house. Maddie's behavior is changing and this worries David who interrupts a romantic dinner between her and Sam with the purpose of confessing his true feelings, but by not cheering up he ends up drunk and making a fool of himself. Again we have some outstanding performances from both Cibyll and Bruce with a chemistry that crosses the screen.
