| Jake and the Fatman / int_2f187e89 | comment |
It Works Better with Bullets: In "Second Time Around", Jake is posing as mob enforcer as part of a sting to catch a high profile married couple involved in a pair of murders. After accepting $20,000 from the husband to kill the wife, he then accepts $30,000 from the wife to spare her and kill the husband. When the husband offers him $50,000 to go back to the original deal, the wife grabs Jake's gun and fires several shots at her husband. The husband screams, but then realises nothing has happened. Sirens sound around them, and McCabe steps out of hiding to reveal that Jake's gun is loaded with blanks, and he now has enough evidence to put both of them away. | |

You Just Told Me | |
| Jake and the Fatman / int_bcb4f1f1 | comment |
You Just Told Me: In "Second Time Around", Jake is interrogating mob enforcer Billy Nickel, who is being uncooperative. Jake mentions the name of previous victim, saying he is out of his cast and getting around pretty well on his crutches. Nickel grunts that he'll break the punk's other leg for squealing. Jake then admits the victim hadn't said anything and it was just a lucky guess. | |

Car Fu | |
| Jake and the Fatman / int_c2d978fe | comment |
Car Fu: In "It Had to Be You", a psychiatrist who is secretly a serial rapist plants evidence on one of his patients to frame him. When it looks like the police aren't buying the frame, he steals the car of one his victims and uses it to run down the patient: looking to close the case on the rapes and frame the victim for the murder. | |

Absence of Evidence | |
| Jake and the Fatman / int_d4f5426 | comment |
Absence of Evidence: In "I'd Do Anything", a psychiatrist who manipulated one of her patients into murdering her husband then shoots the patient and bruises and scratches herself so she can claim the patient attempted to rape her and that she killed him in self-defence. Jake is able to prove she is lying when the coroner doesn't find any of the psychiatrist's skin under the patient's fingernails. | |

Revealing Injury | |
| Jake and the Fatman / int_d5929047 | comment |
Revealing Injury: In "I Guess I'll Have to Change My Plan", Jake shoots at a disguised figure who is faking a limp, and thinks that he panicked the man into forgetting which leg he was limping on. Later, he realises that the killer is too professional to make that mistake and he had actually hit him in the other leg, forcing him to limp for real. He later finds one of the suspects tending a wound on that leg and has his suspicions confirmed. | |

Old Cop, Young Cop: Technically McCabe is a prosecutor rather than a cop (although he is an ex-cop) but otherwise the relationship between the Fatman and Jake fits this trope. | |

Scared of What's Behind You: In "I'm Gonna Live Till I Die", Henry—a mousy bookkeeper who's been poisoned and has now decided to live for the first time—confronts a macho type who is hassling the girl he likes on the dance floor. The bully is contemptuous until he looks over shoulder and sees Jake who flashes his police badge at him, and then immediately backs down; making Henry look like a hero. | |

Redemption Equals Death | |
| Jake and the Fatman / int_f1492605 | comment |
Redemption Equals Death: Daniel McCabe in his second appearance. Finally feeling guilt during a prison escape gone horribly wrong and getting shot for it, Daniel, rather than conserving his energy to heal, gets up and distracts his former partners to save his father before dying in the ambulance. McCabe never gets over his son's death and bitterly regrets having given up on him early on after this, occasionally mentioning him when a troubled parent-child relationship pops up. | |
