* MinorCrimeRevealsMajorPlot: More like 'Minor Supposed Concerns Reveal Major Plot', but with the same effect; if Fargo hadn't dragged Ted into his plan as an UnwittingPawn, the priest would never have figured out what was happening to Chris.
Added DiffLines:
* RewatchBonus: Fargo's sad expression when Ted meets him to talk about Chris come across as CrocodileTears when the scene is rewatched with the knowledge that Fargo was the mastermind.

Granted, Fargo probably reasoned that even if he found out, Ted wouldn't be dumb enough to blow the whistle on the scheme, seeing how Ted himself would lose out if Chris were disqualified.
