Default "Maddie's Turn To Cry"

"yeah, i know. i thought we were heading for something big, too."

sam proposes to maddie. she is not sure what to do. so she sneaks out to see david at 4am to find out what he wanted to tell her the other night when he interrupted her date with sam. dave and maddie kiss. they leave just then to do a follow up on a case.
as the sun rises, maddie realizes she had a good time with daivid and had to go home....to sam. sam wakes up with maddie gone.

loved the intro with the people on the street giving the recap from last week's episode.
another great scene was the chase with the milk truck and in the bowling alley. very creative.

herbert really showed jealously as agnes was infatuated with sam.

the momentum of this show has increased.

rating: 9.4

Isn't this just a great episode. We finally get to see this whole triangle perspective from Maddie's side.....and we ache along with her...watching her struggle with her heart as she tries to juggle both men and both relationships. The scene at David's apartment is the turning point in the trilogy episodes because at that point we all realize who it is she really wants to be with.

Yes, the milk truck chase scene is hilarious as is the bowling alley. I love how Maddie will not be dissuaded from this case....she figures it all out in the midst of her emotional turmoil and absolutely presses on....

This is my favorite of the trilogy. Sam & Dave told David's side and this one tells Maddie's side. But since we already knew how David felt from Blonde on Blonde, this one was especially good since we finally see what Maddie is feeling. Her head is telling her that Sam is perfect for her, but her heart is pulling her to David. The "trunk" scene is one of the sweetest of the whole series betweeen them.

this episode is gently moving along.

i was thrown when sam asked maddie to marry him. slow down cowboy!

the way maddie walked into the office showed me her disappointment. she did not have a 'spring in her step' as david would say. and then when she heard the knock at the door and got into her chair to put on a front-well that's the first time i saw maddie put on an act.i believe she thought it was david at the door.

the interesting thing for me as a viewer is that i felt more relaxed when david was around and tensed up when sam was around.

david had heard maddie and i think he knows on some level what the problem is with maddie.
maddie:
david, what are we going to do?
david:
i don't know...there's always the bedroom.
he wasn't making a pass at maddie. to me david is a problem solver. and he wanted to solve this problem and give maddie what she wants. he's very straight forward.

sam at the final scene is finally waking up. and he doesn't look like he's going to go down without a fight.

I'm glad you mentioned the bit where David says (jokingly) to Maddie "theres always the bedroom!". I noticed when watching this yesterday, whilst Dave automatically says he's just joking, the look on Maddies face was priceless. I really felt that she might just have gone for it at that point. She didn't move or walk away from him, she just looked at him with an indefinable look. It was (to me) almost as if she had wanted him to do something.

That kiss was so gentle, so tender and natural. Wonderful stuff...


I love Maddies reaction to Dave's apartment as well...very funny.

Why did my neighbours had to tape something over this episode...WHY WHY?!?!

Why didn't they allow me to watch it more then twice? I can remember the kiss. The bowling alley and that wonderfull look on Maddie her face But the rest? I can't remember the rest....OH! The dating game was in this one, right?

I thought it was great that Maddie did came along on the case this time. I bet she didn't feel right about the night before

i've only seen it once, but honestly this is how i remember it:

maddie:
david, what are we going to do?
david (very seriously, softly):
there's always the bedroom
maddie-gives david a 'look'
then
david looks down and says'just joking or just kidding'
then
maddie looks down at the back of his head kind of sadly.

but you know, maybe this was wishful thinking on my part. i'll have to look at it again.

Nope, not just wishful thinking. I saw that look of Maddies too. If David had kissed her at that point, she wouldn't have pushed him away... She looked sad that he was only joking, for definite.

yes, cindyk- that's the look i remember.
i really thought david was very serious about the bedroom until he got that look.
what i thought i saw was this kind of lovely-back and forth-opening and closing between the two.

I loved "the look".

I always took the look to mean "David - I'm being very serious here. Don't make jokes."
