all-new FK stories to beg the honor of your attention, one a prelude
to "Dark Knight" featuring all the human characters (and Nick), and
one in Nick's loft in second-season from Lacroix's very vampiric perspective!

That is certainly one of the funniest lines, in one of the most memorable
scenes. It's no wonder that, after a few other such incidents, Schanke
could start to wonder about Nick (not least in "Close Call"). How did he
explain it to himself? I can only suppose that he assumes that Nick was
hyped on adrenaline. Or maybe Nick whammied him...again.

Curiously, had they cared to plug the plot hole, they could simply have
played up the fact that Nick and Schanke are working different shifts. If
you remember, in "Dark Knight", Stonetree reassures them that they will only
have to work together at the shift change. (In the real Toronto, there's an
hour overlap between shifts in order to ensure that there are always police
on duty.)
Of course, in most episodes, both men work the night shift. However, at
this point in the series, TPTB haven't yet made the decision to set aside
the initial idea of having one work days, the other nights. We know this
because, later in "Last Act", Schanke visits the fiance's apartment on his
own, in daylight.
So, the first act *could* have had Schanke handed their new case in the
morning, and briefly gone to the park and seen the mysteriously abandoned
clothes. Nick would then have been shown the evidence (and recognized the
ring) when he came on shift in the evening. The story could then have
proceeded essentially as we see it here--but without the time discrepancy.
You know, a lot of episodes could have done with a halfway decent beta-ing!
