Governor Croque invites an eccentric French spy in order to uncover the identity of the Daring Dragoon and bring him his head.
Tropes featured in this episode:
- Anachronism Stew:
- Emilie's "ginger spray" is basically Pepper Spray 160 years before it was invented in Real Life.
- The subversive sculpture Jack and Emilie are trying to protect is done in a Primitivist style, something that wouldn't be popular for at least 100 years.
- Annoying Laugh: Martin has a rather breathy one.
- Been There, Shaped History: Jack schmoozes a group of French bachelorettes by regaling them about how Thomas Jefferson wanted him to sign the Declaration of Independence because he "practically wrote it." This being Jack, it's likely he's making this up as a fun ditty.
- Bunny-Ears Lawyer:
- Martin is introduced as garishly dressed and very eccentric, but he admits that he acts as such because it puts people under a false sense of security. They don't call him Ombre Fatale ("Shadow of Death") for nothing.
- As crass as Jack can be, he actually manages to seduce Emilie (who normally finds his innuendos annoying) to demonstrate how to pull a Honey Trap.
- Devious Daggers: Martin specializes in these, typically using them to pin people to the wall.
- Gag Penis: When they see him naked, Jack, Emilie and the Captain are stunned by how big Martin's genitalia is. When they realizes that the codes are tattooed on his groin, Emilie remarks that it's "going to take forever" when she tries writing the codes down.
- Gone Swimming, Clothes Stolen: Emilie manages to steal Martin's clothes after tricking him into taking a bath.
- Honey Trap: Emilie has to seduce Martin when they surmise that he keeps documents in his pants. Being a lady and a widow, Emilie is both out of practice and generally uncomfortable with using her sexuality for spy work, though she's enough of a professional to do it anyway. Of course Martin plans on doing it to her right back.
- Worf Had the Flu: Emilie's ginger spray manages to blind all the men in the room, leaving Jack, Martin, the Captain and his soldiers all stumbling around swiping blindly at each other.
- Younger Than He Looks: Governor Croque reveals that he is turning 23, his actor Stuart Devenie having been 49 at the time of recording. This is Played for Laughs, of course.
