** It's possible that "takes the bus home" was in a metaphorical sense where he rides the bus somewhere after school on days when he doesn't go directly home. Granted, that doesn't explain why he wouldn't just walk home but it's an explanation if nothing else. Or same theory but he had somewhere specific to go after school that required the bus ride the particular time it came up in the episode and clarity wasn't given for streamlined story-telling.

* Why exactly does O'Farrell, who is stated to be [[TooIncompetentToOperateABlanket unqualified to use]] ''[[TooIncompetentToOperateABlanket the stapler]]'', not have a partner? It's not because his job, crime scene photographer, would only really be used in active crime scenes and/or locations where there would be other officers as a matter of course because when Frank was on the force, he A) had a partner in Vallejo and B) did field work despite profiling being something that didn't necessarily require either of those things and in present day, Tehama is partnered with Anza despite being the forensics officer, whose primary responsibilities shouldn't involve tracking down perps.

** Three possible reasons. A.As what shown in the episode , the model train fanbase in universe(or at least in the town the show takes place in) are......"kind focus on trains only" so maybe Mr. Guirerro want to keep his store "specialized" in trains only(to keep the regulars). B. There is a chance that he was think about "take over the lease" of some model shop at the new town.(That's he probably familiar with the owner , and know the market.) or C. As the businness was going down ,he was thinking about the concpet of "close the business and move back to his hometown".

* It's stated and shown in 'A Wurm In Our Midst' that Tony takes the bus home from school, but why? The first few minutes of the episode shows his house being ''right'' outside of X and in ''running distance'' of the school. While I understand the bus scene was used for the sake of drama and to include another chase scene, what's the point of taking the bus when he can just walk home?

** Original poster here. I posed the above question to my mother and she speculated that it's basically identity fraud via a pen pal system/program, which makes sense but that doesn't cover other possible kinds of mail fraud...

* Obviously Ingrid being the one to go undercover in "Red Robins Don't Fly" falls under TheMainCharactersDoEverything but Tehama's reason for not being an option, which boils down to "They'll recognize me", doesn't really make sense given that Fillmore and Ingrid AKA the two best officers in the patrol can go undercover with ease no matter how much or how little they actually disguise themselves (heck; Fillmore wears his signature shades ''every time he goes undercover''). How precisely does someone who isn't nearly as high profile be more recognizable than the officers who have been involved the majority of recent busts?

** Similarly, if Harrison hated reporting on Alistair, then why did he put in motion all of those events in the first place? Why did he put himself through that? While having Alistair show up and 'predict' where the can of lobster treats was hiding would be easy enough, it probably wouldn't have been that hard to pin the blame on Vern some other way. It would have spared him the trouble of being stuck reporting on Alistair, considering the 'psychic' was only going off of the emails Harrison sent him and would have likely been found a fraud. Hell, Harrison would have won if he didn't go the extra mile and tried to have Alistair plant a fake Lobstee in Vern's bedroom since Harrison had already been named editor-in-chief. Fillmore and Ingrid wouldn't have been able to get through to Alistair since they'd be suspicious but not have any hard evidence to prosecute him, so neither of them would have made the connection to Harrison, which means Lobstee would not be found and the game would have been lost.

** Tehama mentions something about her 'beat' in 'Jay something' for her reason why she wouldn't be able to go undercover and Ingrid mentions getting cookie dough as a gift from the 'Jays'. Are the Jays a separate girl scout troop at X that Tehama joined at some point? In that case, it would make perfect sense as to why Tehama couldn't go undercover. As a Jay, she would have likely interacted with the Red Robins, which would explain why they would know who she is. It might not even be for the reason of 'they'd know I'm a belt', they would know that she's from a rival troop, which would be considered equally suspicious as to why she suddenly wants to join, considering the possibility that it'd be for a revenge-driven purpose given what the Robins have done to their competition.
