* [[Noodle Incident]]: The Case of the Three Testicles.
* [[Old -Fashioned Rowboat Date]]: Sigerson Holmes and Jenny Hill go for an outing in a rowboat. Since this is a comedy, Sergeant Sacker comes along as the rower and his accidental mistakes with the oars repeatedly cause Sigerson to be splashed in the face with water.

* [[Pretty in Mink]]: Jenny wears a white fox muff on the rowboat date.
Line 47:
* [[Right-Hand-Cat]]: Moriarty has a cluster of small snakes.
* [[Sherlock Scan]]: Parodied. Sigerson twice makes a deduction about who is about to walk through his door based on the sound of their footsteps on the stairs outside the door. He's completely wrong, and someone else entirely walks in.

* [[Shown Their Work]]: The songs Jenny sings are actual music hall songs.
