!!This episode includes examples of the following tropes:
* AmbiguousSituation: Professor Crenshaw says that George Longbow is ''very'' unlikely to be a descendant of Manitoka, since most of the local Native Americans perished during the Spanish Flu epidemic of 1918 with the rest being adopted by locals. That's...not really the best way to disprove ancestry, since people have this tendency to move around from place to place on occasion (particularly when there's an ongoing disaster in one area) and also to not necessarily die from disease. Plus, the prof ''does'' admit the grant is genuine, so George is either genuine or has a ''really'' interesting story about getting it.

Summing up, it's been 230 years since the grant was issued and later laws would supersede it, as well as 230 years of abandonment annulling the grant.
* DeadlyDelivery: Averted, but not if the spear had been a little higher. George Longbow has a heck of a way of presenting a land grant.
* DomesticAbuse: Helen Langley is being abused by her husband Addison.
* FakeNationality: Bernard White has Sri Lankan ancestry. That's not even the right continent!
* FrameUp: Helen's brother Tom frames George by planting evidence in his hotel room and sticking the spear in Addison's corpse's stab wound.
* KillingSelfDefense: Addison Langley wanted to beat up George Longbow, but after drunkenly staggering around the town and beach and not finding him settled on his wife Helen instead. Helen grabbed a knife to defend herself and stabbed him.
* LargeHam: George takes possibly the most dramatic way possible to get the mayor and city council's attention (again, throwing a ''frickin' spear'' at the Mayor) because he thought they'd ignore him otherwise.
* TorchesAndPitchforks: [[SarcasmMode Surprisingly]], the townsfolk of Cabot Cove don't take the prospect of owing a yearly rent to a total stranger with particularly good grace, especially not when that stranger seems to have murdered a local.
* WorstAid: After a group of punks beat George up, he's put in a cell due to being an accused murderer, as opposed to the hospital.
