 Since no one else has answered, let me say that the pianist who
 was kidnapped got kidnapped a second time and put in the van to
 be rescued. As Dave and Maddie get to the spot (a few minutes late)
 with the ransom, the van blows sky high.

 Later Dave surmises that since they didn't see any pieces of the
 pianist there, that he wasn't in the van at all. They think that
 he has staged a second fake kidnapping to get even more money
 from mom. They go back to mom to explain this, and she reveals
 that _s_h_e did the second kidnapping to kill him and get her son
 out of her life, thinking that the person who did the first
 kidnapping would be blamed for the second kidnapping. Obviously,
 since there was no real first kidnapper, she is wrong. I know
 this is illogical and it doesn't really work, but hey, that's
 how they explained it.

 Dave sings and boogies in the street (near the corner of Wilshire and
 Western) and so Maddie forces him to fire the two stiffs that she wanted
 fired at the beginning of the episode. As Dave approaches their desks
 in the final scene saying stuff like, "Did you ever want to see the world
 and experience life??" Maddie comes up from behind and lets Dave off the
 hook. The two stiffs can stay.
