Anybody who thought that there would be less of the 'Sonny and Kaitlin show' when she departed for Los Angeles will be disappointed as Sonny goes with her and this episode is almost entirely devoted to the difficulties their careers bring to their marriage. Sonny clearly doesn't enjoy the celebrity lifestyle in LA and Kaitlin isn't pleased when she finds out that he is investigating her bosses at the record label for murder. Things get even more complicated when a journalist from the National Inquirer... oops 'National Inquisitor' looks into the back ground of Sonny Burnett and finds that the husband of squeaky clean Caitlin Davies is a Miami drug dealer! Her PR people see this as an opportunity to make even more money... her new record looks set to be a hit; and nothing boosts sales like a dead singer!
I had rather hoped that Caitlin's going away would be the end of stories where hers and Sonny's jobs got in each others way so was a bit disappointed that wasn't the case; this does at least seem to have ended the story of the corrupt record label employees. Viewers might be surprised that after a few establishing shots there was no use of any interesting LA landmarks during the episode... it is hardly surprising though as it was filmed in Miami! The idea that the record people would kill Caitlin just as she was getting more popular seems rather far fetched; it might boost the sales of that record but surely in the long term it would be a poor move financially. For most of the episode the action is limited to Sonny and Caitlin dealing with the crowds of fans and Sonny punching a journalist... there was a decent shoot out at the end though. Overall I'd say that this wasn't a terrible episode, certainly nothing like the awful missing hours, but it wasn't great either.
