Laura does what we'd all like to do with a receptionist

What's hidden in Laura's loft that so many people seem to want so desperately?

A very funny confrontation between Laura and a secretary; and an object lesson in the meaning g of "runaround." And we have a hint of who is the better detective.

Again, we hear echoes of "The Rockford Files," when his neighbors tried to get him evicted.

A delightful climax where we learn about the secret life of one of Laura's neighbors, and we see lots of early 1980s electronics in action, including what they thought AI would be.

And Remington has an opportunity to demonstrate his need to be dapper in trying circumstances.

Not a great episode, perhaps, but puzzling enough to be entertaining.
