In this episode, a family that lives in a desolate mansion needs proof for a (potential) haunting/ghosts at said mansion. After the older sister of the family became catatonic due to some spook, her sister tries to hire Maddie and Dave. They don't want to take the case though.
In the meantime, Agnes is shocked and outraged that Bert seemingly already got field experience and his own cases after just 2,5 months with Blue Moon while she's still stuck answering the phone.
Due to this discrepancy, she runs after the rejected client and ends up at the mansion, not knowing what the case is actually about. And then things turn spooky...
Herbert Viola/Curtis Armstrong is one of the main reasons why Moonlighting rose above similar shows of the time. He's just such a sweet and cute guy and his acting so good. He is basically the female equivalent for how Agnes is Maddie's soundboard and becomes that for David later on during this season.
In this episode, after Agnes and Bert already had some difficulties, they get a whole episode to cement their chemistry and relation (not quite a relationship yet) and it's a very good one.
It's atmospheric with a spooky vibe and feels like a real detective story (something that isn't always the case with Moonlighting). I especially loved Herbert in his gumshoe trenchcoat and hat, but Agnes isn't so bad herself.
The two of them eventually manage to solve the case through good teamwork, but it's really their on- and off camera chemistry that makes this episode work. Also kudos to both Curtis and Alyce for properly pronouncing the name "Ludwig" (it seems after Bert does so for the first time, it catches on).
A strong 7/10 for me!
