The best laid plans...

Myka and Pete are going to take a couple of days off and they both have been plans; she to attend her high school reunion(where she hopes to connect with the football captain she had a crush on) and he to spend some afternoon delight time with his girlfriend, Dr. Hernandez. Before going, they retrieve an artifact that is half lion and half eagle. While bagging the artifact they are, unknown to them, infused by a strange light. A short time later they do a body switch - Pete now has Myka's body and she his with results that are occasionally humorous but not really as humorous as the writers undoubtedly intended. The humor is basically just adolescent. Meanwhile, Artie and Claudia investigate odd goings on at an insurance company. Senior male executives all of whom were supposedly happily married suddenly fall madly in love with a femme fatale. The episode is sufficiently entertaining if not great. One of the things I like best about this series is the music and songs they use. In this case, it is neat that they use "Afternoon Delight" when Myka first sees the former football captain - now that was funny.
