Capt Davenport or Sweet Daddy?

Capt Davenport was played by Theodore Wilson, who was Sweet Daddy Williams on Good Times. Actually, Wilson appeared uncredited in this episode. He wasn't very charismatic as Davenport. When he got tied up (by the little brats Laura was babysitting), he just looked silly. The part about Laura's babysitting service was pretty good. Kellie S was so good as Laura, she could make just about anything work. I actually thought the part about Rachel's date was the best aspect of the episode! I have criticized Telma Hopkins for not being very funny. In this episode, she looks very pretty, and very nice. Rachel being hesitant to tell her date about her young son was understandable. He turned out to be a nice guy (he wasn't turned off by little Richie). Too bad that nothing from this episode carried over to any subsequent episodes. The prospect of Rachel having a relationship with this guy was interesting. Overall, a pretty good episode.
