Before establishing an allibi (Like "I'm driving to Pasadena to see a prospective buyer") make D-A-M-N sure you know the hours he is open!! Duh........
I agree, but no more lame than committing murder to conceal the fact that he was only bilking his own success. Truth is, Milo never figured on being investigated, and that was his mistake.
He didn't untie the shoes, leave Gene's locker unlocked, buff the heel marks off the gym floor, or consider the coffee spilled on the carpet either, and re-filing a spliced phone message tape instead of destroying it was just plain stupid.
However transparent its plot holes, this one will always be among my top 5 favs 4 sure.
I also thought that assaulting Stafford while he
was holding the coffee pot was stupid, but I guess
he was in a rage and not thinking clearly, so it
is not unreasonable. Yes, in spite of the plot holes,
it is a fine episode.
