Fair or not?

Did David deserve the raise he demanded? It's obvious that we do not take his breaches of decorum (meaning the limboing and showing up hungover etc) into consideration here - that would have been a reason to fire him once every month probably, but obviously, that never crossed Maddie's mind - she seemd to think he really deserved the money he earned.

So, did he deserve that raise? Were Maddie's objections ("You never solved a case" etc.) actually fair?

First of all we don't know how much he was making and we know for a fact that the agency was not making money at that time. Instead of Maddie bringing up his not solving cases etc. she simply should have told him that the agency was in dire straights and there was no extra money. Simple as that LOL

That's a good option! Yes and I think he would have understood that too because it wouldn't have made him feel like she thought low of him.

Exactly!

And why didn't she? And I just noticed we still haven't answered my first question - were her objections justified?

[Addison's girl]

lol I don't know. She was willing to give him a small raise. I mean maybe she should have realized he did teach her some things about being a detective but really it seemed to me they were learning together. Maybe a small raise at that time was justified until the business could get on its feet. He knew the money situation at Blue Moon so how could he expect a big raise? I wish they would have told us why David decided to become a detective and how he snagged that City of Angels gig.

Oh agree that would be interesting to know!!
