"Deadline" didn't work for me either in terms of Diana's story, and I can't put my finger on why. It was fine, in terms of her undercover op, but I didn't feel like it was telling me anything about Diana that I didn't already know. And they didn't go quite far enough with the whole "putting the asskicker in the 'smile and do as you're told'" thing to make it as funny as I think it could have been. Hold that up to something like, say, "Power Play," with Peter gritting his teeth in this role he's forced into, and it just seems like they didn't go as far with it as they could have.
Now I liked the homey side of Diana that we saw; I liked meeting Christie, and I thoroughly enjoyed the double date scene (which I won't delve into because I know She That I Shall Not Name isn't on your list of favorite people), but the rest of it just didn't feel like as good a showcase for her as Jones' ep was for him.
My only complaint about DoD is that it felt rushed to me. I think they had enough story there for a two-parter.
