1. Hanlon's plan was riskiest ever in the whole Columbo. I mean maybe not riskiest but just impossible to perform. For many reasons. How did he get the suit and icecreams themself? How did he start the ding-a-ling truck? Did he have a key? Where from? How was he not noticed by anyone there? How did he leave the stadium area? While talking on the phone booth – easily something could be heard in the background which would give him away. And many other factors. Really far fetched for me.
2. Eric Wagner says: „how did you get in here”? Exactly? How did he get in there?
3. Columbo listenes to the game and he is really into it. He never showed in any other episode any sign that he is the fan. So I am curious if this is just one of his games or what is it about?
4. I will raise the point one again since there were no answer – I noticed it in Murder by the book. And since this is the same apartment as Ken Franklin's: why there is no threshold in the house in the main entrance? If it is raining, the whole interior is wet then! Was it a normal thing? Or maybe still is? How does it protect house from being flooded during the rain?
5. Columbo was quite lucky to find Hanlon on the airport. In such a big crowd it shouldn't be wasy at all
6. Always funny when Dobbs is breaking in, opens door, and make noise with this colourful things, I have no idea what it is but it's funny :)
7. I don't know if I miss something, but usually when in the beginning Columbo doesn't know if it was accident or murder, then we clearly see the moment when the case starts officialy to be treated as a homicide. But in this case there is no moment like this. The doctor in the beginning says for sure it was an accident. When and why does it change officialy?
8. Do you think Hanlon was into Wagner's wife? I think yes
9. Why does Eve Bab**** kiss this indian guy statue? :D
10. Columbo entering Miss Bab**** apartment is marvelous. Peter Falk at his best
11. About the bugs; I know I am not the only one a little confused with that. But maybe someone can help. So: Dobbs say he placed her in HANLON's office, and she made errands in Wagner's house (so at this point Dobbs knew, Eve knew, Hanlon didn't know about bugs right?). Then Columbo when he visits Eve asks: Why were you fired after 3 days? So does he mean that Hanlon fired Eve? He says then „Hanlon doesn't miss much, and certainly he wouldn't miss you” - what does it mean? I mean I am asking now about pure english language, what does it mean „he wouldn't miss you” in this particular case? So ok, Hanlon discovered that she was placing the bugs, and then „bought her”. For my understanding – he paid her to be silent about the fact that he knows about it, right? So that makes sense. But then when Columbo is leaving, he makes this little allusion about Hungarian accent and the name Ricoji. But if everybody already know that she was working at Hanlon's office (for 3 days) then why this name becomes a secret? I assume she was officialy hired there and then under the name Ricoji right? So no secret. So why Columbo makes this remark in the end? Why is she confused in this moment? This part I don't understand. Anyone can explain?
12. Very funny (and maybe easy to miss) is that the guy in the travel office is the same guy who is also worker of travel office in Lovely but Leathal (he comes in the scene of crime to explain some things). He is also a policeman in Double Exposure

1. I also always wondered how he got the uniform, truck, etc.
2. I think Eric is wondering how Hanlon got there so fast since he just spoke to him on the phone, and Hanlon told him he was at the stadium.
4. I never noticed that, but bugs, rodents, snakes, etc. would get in, too. Yuck.
6. I always wondered what those colorful things were, too. They remind me of cattails.
7. I think when Columbo noticed freshwater was spra*** on the deck, like something was covered up, that was the moment it became a murder.
8. Yes. Or at least into the idea of mani****ting her for his own purposes.
11. I think that it means that Eve Bab**** would stand out and be somewhat out of place, probably didn't have good secretarial skills, and Hanlon, being as sharp as he is, wouldn't miss (be unaware of) any of this. He would quickly figure out what she was up to, but would also want to use that to his advantage to set up the alibi. I guess I'm not sure why he had to fire her. He would have been better off playing dumb and keeping her there, until enough time had passed and he was well in the clear. She maybe used a fake name (Bab****) that everyone knew when she was working there, but after Hanlon figured out she worked for Dobbs and got to know her, and paid her off to keep her quiet that he was onto the bugs, he learned and used her real name. But like I said, it would have been easier and safer for him just to "play dumb". She probably wouldn't have sta*** there much longer anyway after the bugs were planted, and then he never would have had to fire her, pay her off, and risk her exposing him.
