* KickTheSonOfABitch: Poirot invites and sits Hasting, Japp, Jenny Driver, and Bryan Martin when he is about to explain the case. [[spoiler:He invites Jenny Driver and Bryan Martin -- who are about to marry -- specifically because Bryan Martin gave him a foolish/fake story; he sits Jenny and Martin together and steers the conversation to frighten and shame Martin and encourage Jenny not to make their marriage "a typical Hollywood marriage" where Bryan can divorce her after 4-5 years.]]

** The woman presumed to be Jane entering Edgware's home the night he was killed was wearing black (a color Jane said she hates to wear) and had a large hat blocking the left side of her face, which is the side the butler stood at as he opened the door. Poirot also demonstrates that Miss Carroll, standing where she was on the stairs, could not have seen the woman's face, even though Carroll insists that the woman was Jane. Also, Carlotta Adams has been demonstrated to have an excellent impersonation of Jane Wilkinson. [[spoiler:Actually, the woman entering the home ''was'' Jane all along, and she deliberately came up with this ruse to avert suspicion.]]
