I think what really works best for me in this episode is the addition of Turnbull to the roster. Turnbull serves as the perfect character to really absorb the sillier aspects of Fraser's mountie-ness.
There's a certain amount of foolishness about being Dudley Dooright that the writers wanted to get across, yet they also want to see Fraser as proper knight in dress-reds. With Turnbull in there, Fraser himself can laugh at how goofy a mountie can seem.
As far as the rest of the episode goes - it also starts to get rolling on the good character development in peripheral characters, really filling up the episode with great opportunities for banter and emotional investment in heroes and villains.moreless

ADD QUOTES- Benton Fraser: If Nash wanted him dead, why would he have sent us there? Ray Vecchio: Well, maybe he wanted to kill us too. Benton Fraser: What possible motive could he have for that? Ray Vecchio: Sometimes you are the most annoying man that I know. There's plenty of times I wanna kill you and I am your best friend. Edit
- Benton Fraser: Don't let anyone go in or out of that door. Renfield Turnbull: Including myself? Benton Fraser: Especially not yourself. Renfield Turnbull: Not in or out. Benton Fraser: That is correct. Renfield Turnbull: But I'm already out, sir. Benton Fraser: Yes. Renfield Turnbull: So if I find myself inside, I should just stay there. Edit
- Ray Vecchio: So, how's your leg? Benton Fraser: Fine. Ray Vecchio: Is that the same leg that he shot you in last time? Benton Fraser: Yes. Ray Vecchio: The same leg that he stabbed you in? Benton Fraser: Yes, Ray. Ray Vecchio: Does your country give you a medal for getting wounded like that? Benton Fraser: No, not that I'm aware of. Ray Vecchio: Then I think you should have this. (Sticks a note on Fraser's chest.) Benton Fraser: "Please shoot the other leg." Well, that's just not amusing, Ray. Edit
