So this is the point where it all started to go pear-shaped ... don't get get me wrong, this isn't a completely terrible episode in itself.

The set up for this episode is quite interesting. An old man bursts into the Matheson residence raving about their ad for the supernatural, and insisting he's really twenty seven years old. They figure he's crazy, but when they go to see him later in the hospital then they find all that's left is his decayed skeleton. Ian and Randi look into it, and figure that there must be a life-sucking nymph on the loose in London. In order to find this supernatural minx, they must look into the various escort services, which obviously leads to some wacky situations for the two of them.

"Nice Girls Don't" was written by Goldberg and Rabkin to see how the stars Neil Dickson and Kate Hodge could handle comedy. The answer is, they handled it perfectly well, but that doesn't mean it was a good idea to forget about the horror and to focus primarily on comedy for the rest of the series as they did. It all started to go downhill from here, and this approach is probably what lead to it's cancellation -- twice. This is a very silly episode, not awful but certainly towards that end of the spectrum. There's no she-wolf content involved, and aside from some amusing moments from both of the stars, this episode doesn't have a whole lot going for it, and unfortunately many of the episodes that followed tended to be along the same lines.
