Chekhov's Gun | |
| Too Many Clients / int_22cf536c | comment |
Chekhov's Gun: The newspaper photograph of the Continental Plastics dais, with Archie initially used to identify that his client was not actually Thomas Yeager. The picture also identifies Benedict Aiken by image and name; Maria had a copy, which is how she knew that Aiken was inside the house on the night of Yeager's murder. | |

Politically Correct History | |
| Too Many Clients / int_7e74d66f | comment |
Politically Correct History: In regards to the A Nero Wolfe Mystery adaptation. The original novel seems to have Archie approve of a man who, after he learns his wife has been cheating on him, severely beats her (although he might be being mocking or sarcastic). When presented with the same situation in the TV adaptation, Archie is visibly angered and disgusted at the man and concerned for the wife. | |

Leave Behind a Pistol | |
| Too Many Clients / int_def127cc | comment |
Leave Behind a Pistol: Wolfe has Benedict Aiken write out a confession, omitting mention of Yeager's love nest, and mail it to the brownstone before shooting himself, thereby satisfying the corporation's request as a client by keeping them from association with that room. | |
