Plot Summary:
With the help of Lee’s Uncle, Lee and Amanda attempt to thwart an Air Force officer’s plans to sell military equipment to an enemy power.

Romantic/Cute:

  • Cute scene when Amanda tries to untie then resorts to cutting the rope around Lee’s hands at General Patterson’s house. Watch that sword, Missy!

    Bloopers:

  • Amanda has long hair again! How did that happen? Last week in ‘A Little Sex, A Little Scandal’ her hair was short. Oh yeah, the order the episodes were shown differs from the order they were filmed.
  • I can’t remember all the different ages Lee was when he was sent to live with the Colonel, but in this ep he was 7 yrs old and in ‘Unfinished Business’ he was 5.
  • The Red Bag Lady appears again!

    Favorite Quote(s):
    Amanda: Oh Lee, look I’m… I’m really… I’m flattered that you thought to ask me.
    Lee: Oh good. I was desperate.
    Amanda: Thank you so much.
    _____
    Lee: Wait. Uh, hold it. We’re not going anywhere. I am and you’re going straight home.
    Amanda: Oh, Lee.
    Lee: Amanda, I may have to break into some else’s house and go through their personal, private things. I wouldn’t want to have to put you through that twice in one day now would I?

    Interesting Facts:

  • Lee’s childhood nickname was Skip (because he used to skip out on school and work.) Prior to being called Skip he was nicknamed “Diaper Duty.”
  • Lieutenant Paul Manutel also wears blue boxers. Amanda pulls a pair out of his suitcase as she and Lee search his hotel room.
  • We see Amanda’s living room in this episode.
  • Amanda has been taking tennis lessons.
