The joke of “Dan v. Dating” is that Dan Fielding (John Larroquette) doesn’t know how to deal with women. By far the weakest of the reboot’s episodes, the episode takes the show largely out of its workplace comedy setting for Dan’s attempts at dating with a woman (guest-star Wendie Malick) who turns out to not have his best intentions at heart. The former womanizer’s inability to carry on even a shallow conversation with a member of the opposite sex falls as flat as you would expect as does the episode’s equally banal B-story involving some forced bonding between office buddies Olivia (India de Beaufort) and Gurgs (Lacretta).

Betting a local cop he can solve a robbery homicide in a single night gets Trent (Ramón Rodríguez) into a jam when the obvious explanation, a gang of thieves making just these kinds of robberies in the same neighborhood, turns out not to be responsible. Showcasing a bit of our detective’s ego, “The Look Out” is a fun episode even if the return of the Angie (Erika Christensen) and Ormewood (Jake McLaughlin) B-story crime turns out to be pretty forgettable. The episode also offers another example of how his on-again/off-again relationship with Angie prevents him from considering other options such as an artist (Julia Chan) turned suspect who he put in jail (but that didn’t stop her from flirting with him throughout the episode).
