To me, this is the first real classic episode. It starts with a neo-noiresque opening of a radio host, sharing a story about love on his nightly show. We see several people who can't sleep for various reasons(work, being homeless, loneliness, boredom). The host then begins to answer callers questions, but is rudely interrupted by a violent intruder...
In this episode, we see David and Maddie really showing a lot of emotions for the first time. They both start to know each other quite well, but despite that, they can't seem to channel that into something positive yet. They disagree about "the case" they may or may not have, thanks to said radio host and he becomes a source of quarrel, even though from beyond the grave...
We've some beautiful shots of L.A. at night, Maddie driving around while she can't sleep, Dave getting drunk in a bar, being in a very vulnerable and pitiful situation and eventually, Maddie having an eye-opening encounter in the night and rain.
The final conclusion is a bit disappointing, compared to the superb set-up and seems a bit trivial, but the whole atmosphere, the dynamic of Maddie and Dave, the insight into their mind and emotions in this episode is amazing and makes this episode a 9/10 for me. This is the kind of episode you best watch snuggled up in bed or under a blanket on your couch while it's raining outside.
