* AdultFear: The defendant in one case mentions this when pointing out that the Not-Quite brother's so-called lightning-proof tower is actually not safe. Cue to the next day where it's a pile of ashes. Fortunately, no one was in the tower, and it didn't seem to knock into other buildings. While initially the defendant is sued for potential arson, Professor Parsons corrects Doug Savage's assumption that lightning only strikes items on the ground; the tower by being built so high and made of wood attracted such electrical currents. It was basically doomed the minute they mounted it, and they had sheer luck that no one was inside the tower when it came down.

It's even lampshaded at the end of the episode when they makeup and it's proven that while it was his fault -- he had been sneaking a sip of punch from a tube and left the tube to fall, in a hurry and the force of gravity caused the punch to trickle out-- the spill was an accident. She gets mad when he says that she takes things too seriously but forgives him.
