Those Lips, Those Lies

After several less than satisfying episodes, this is a definite change. Charles Rocket returns in his final appearance as David's brother Richard "the Ad-Man" Addison. Richie is seeing Carla (Rita Wilson guesting) who turns out to have an unsavory past. Maddie and David visit some modeling agencies, supposedly to locate someone who stole a huge sum from Carla, giving Maddie a chance to be recognized and feel over the hill too. We get to see David mugging as a model too which is fun.

As the episode progresses, it turns out that Richie already knows about Carla's history and doesn't care but the episode shows the dramatic side of the late great Charles Rocket, who had a tragic end in real life too. Bruce Willis and Rocket clearly had a natural rapport and if you're paying attention you realize that some of the dialogue between them was so natural it was ad libbed perhaps. The ending is bittersweet.
