Clark Greydon is a professional concert pianist. It's "something he was born with, not something he works at." He also has a talent for getting himself into debt, and getting his wealthy mother to bail him out. Now he's gotten himself kidnapped, and Clark's mother receives a ransom note. She brings it to Blue Moon, saying that she is quite willing to pay the ransom, but she'd rather not pay the whole amount if she doesn't have to, so she hires David and Maddie as negotiators, offering to pay them "one dollar, for every two dollars you save me".
As David and Maddie pursue the kidnappers, it turns out that Clark staged his own kidnapping, and wrote his own ransom note, so as not to have to face his mother with the news that he had gotten himself seriously into debt yet again. Mystery solved, until a second ransom note appears, and this time Clark wasn't behind it, and Clark really is missing.
But in a way, that's not really what this episode is about. This is the episode in which we first see David limboing with the office staff, and Maddie is furious with him, angry that he isn't taking his office responsibilities seriously, wanting him to be a "boss" to the employees, "not a buddy". They make a deal: if he can't go an entire (week?) being serious and adult, he has to fire two of the least productive employees; but if he can, Maddie has to do the limbo.
