A man wants two chicks at the same time, but he isn’t very specific, so he ends up in the two-dates-at-the-same-time trope.
A legal assistant wants to be a lawyer in a big trial, and he ends up representing himself in a murder trial.

Roarke: We are going to provide what he has asked: the glamour and excitement of a big courtroom trial–a trial that will involve life and death… the question will be whether it will be his.

This bartender kinda looks like that one driver who I can never get a good look at.

Larry Barbour: My fantasy was to have a romance with two fo the most beautiful girls in the world.
Roarke: Oh, indeed. But it was never stipulated that they be together, was it?

Okay, but like, Roarke was just literally talking to Tattoo about a ménage-à-trois.

Roarke: You can do that just as soon as you’re into proper uniform.
Larry Barbour: Uniform?
Tattoo: Indeed.

Okay, so it’s not just me that noticed Roarke says this all the time.

It’s weird when Roarke’s in costume, but he doesn’t admit it’s him. I like it, but it’s weird, because later season Roarke would always reveal himself to the guest.

Nina: I like Lawrence better.

Haha, it’s that pink dress again! This time, on a main character.

I feel like maybe they’re not really twins, and it’s the same girl pretending to be twins? Well, I mean, it’s probably the same actress, but I think it’s also gonna end up being the same girl.

Honestly, the two-dates-at-the-same-time fantasy is a fantasy I would consider doing. That’s not what he’s doing here, but I hope they do an episode of that.

Oh my god, that little red and white spiral staircase for the bird is so adorable. Also, Pepper is now a recurring character. They had so many recurring characters in season one! What happened to them all?!

We’re 3/4 through this episode, and the trial hasn’t even begun. I was kinda thinking I might dig a trial story (because at the very least, I’d be able to complain about how unrealistic it is) but that’s not really what this has been.

Oh, here we go. The trial is starting.

Gaaah, I hate when they refuse to cross-examine!

It didn’t really seem like the lawyer was the one on trial. Like it didn’t seem like anyone was on trial; they were just trying to solve the murder. That’s maybe what I thought trials were when I was a kid, but as an adult, I know a trial has a defendant.

Phew, okay, they had me worried there for a second. There were two guys in this courtroom who were clearly in disguise, and I was worried I might have picked the wrong one as Roarke, because I couldn’t see either of their arms. I wish Roarke would do a fun disguise–something other than creepy grungy guy. Oh wait, he did do a clown once. More Clown Roarke please, less Hobo Roarke.

Ooop, now it is two dates at the same time, yaaas.

Herbert Costigan: Your disguise. Was that so if I fouled up the defence, you could come forward as a witness and get me off?
Roarke: No, I simply wanted to see you in action.

Aww. Not that Roarke needed to do that, because he seems to always know what’s going on in fantasies without actually being there.

Daaamn, I knew it! Her fantasy was to be a twin though, not go on two dates at the same time.

Wow, next episode is the last of the first season.
