Appearances and Mentions

The Incorrigible Dr. Ogden

• Milo Strange is at the Station House No. 4 to report that "Walt Whitman has been abducted." After being introduced to Detective Watts by Inspector Brackenreid in his office, Mr. Strange responds to the Detective's remark that Walt Whitman is dead, "Don't say that." The poet? No, his peacock.
• Indeed, it's a head scratcher of a case that Brackenreid passes to Watts who smirks; Milo Strange recognises it, "It's fine. I understand. Mockery's a defense deployed when a person is confronted by nonconformity. I'm sure you're familiar with the experience. Nice jacket."

Murdoch Knows Best

• Strange and Watts spot each other around town a few times.
• Mr. Strange approaches Watts as he is buying a pretzel. The detective quips, "seems we can't manage to avoid one another." Mr. Strange agrees, and wonders if it is a sign from above, but Watts doesn't believe in such things. "Nor am I," says Strange. He then alludes to having a free afternoon, and Watts offers him a pretzel, to which Strange accepts.

Drawn in Blood

• Strange invites Watts to the Mahler concert, something the Detective has been longing to go to. However, Milo doesn't have tickets - instead, they sneak through the side door to watch from the wings. They get caught by the manager but run out just in time, laughing.

Brother Can You Spare a Crime (Mention)

• Llewellyn is just leaving Milo's yard after looking for him and Milo's neighbour asks, "Looking for Mr. Strange, are you?" Llewellyn says he hasn't been able to get a hold of him and the neighbour comments that he left with another man a few days ago.

Devil Music

• Milo and Llewellyn enjoy an evening together watching a band at Violet Hart and Cassiopeia Bright's salon. The song, curiously about methods of murdering a person, is quite enjoyed by the both of them. "You always have the best ideas," Milo says.
• Later, Milo approaches Llewellyn about theirs plans to do something together that night, but Llewellyn is too busy trying to locate a man involved in his current case at work. "You're free to make other plans. I'm sure that gentleman you went on that trip with would love to see you," Llewellyn says. "You're right, Byron would. But I'll be seeing him tomorrow," Milo replies. Llewellyn still seems unsure about their lack of exclusivity, however. "Variety is the very spice of life that gives it all its flavor," Milo says, but explains that no matter how many other "friends" he might have on other nights, he is fully Llewellyn's tonight, and asks if he can help him with his case. Llewellyn hands him a pretzel, gives him a brief summary, and the two run off to search.
• The next day, Milo and Llewellyn talk about working on the case together the previous night. "It's not often that my friends get to experience that side of me. Thank you for last night," Llewellyn says. "I have a newfound appreciation for what you do, Llewellyn Watts," Milo responds. "I dare say you made my job... fun?" Llewellyn admits, and suggests having a more conventional date together that night. Unfortunately, Milo reminds him that he is already scheduled to spend the evening with Byron. Llewellyn again acts upset by this news. "I'm here with you now. What does it matter who I spend the evening with?" Milo asks. Abruptly, he kisses Llewellyn on the cheek, saying, "the devil made me do it."
