I saw this episode, and I have a plot question: When Hack is speaking
to his lawyer about being sued in civil court by the dead guy's
mother (I'm not clear, is this lawyer a friend of his?) he says to her that
he has nothing ( money, possesions, etc.) that "they" could
win.
The lawyer says," You have a house..."
I missed the episode where he moves into the Larchwood house.
But, obviously, he must own the house, based upon this exchange of
words.
My plot question is: How did he come into possession of this
house? Did he inherit it? Did he buy it? If he bought it, where did
he get the $ from? He obviously doesn't have a large income and he doesn't have
any savings. (He mentions that hiring a private detective is "not in my budget",
and his lawyer is doing the legal work pro bono.) Has anybody seen the
episode that explains the move into the Larchwood house?

Subject: [UC] Hack is Back
After a month or two of pre-emption by holiday stuff and football, Hack
rode again Saturday night. Really soulful segment, in which Hack actually
starts to wonder about the efficacy of using guns for self-defense. Prediction
-- Hack becomes a stealth Mennonite. Also steadily increasing diversity --
Jewish mother lawyer (Cindy Katz), hot and spicy Rican ex-nun (Jacqueline
Torres), PLUS Marcellus has a new partner -- Chu Mi Chang. He makes some
comment about her being a "geisha" and she drily comments: "I'm Chinese." Also
she saves his life and he remarks: "Good tackle." "Yes," she says, "I played
women's soccer at Temple." Good golly, if it keeps up like this it's going to
be Charlie's Angels, West Philly edition.
Speaking of West Philly, Hack is interviewing some homeboys and they
inform him that the dude he's looking for went to "that school the Fresh
Prince went to." Next scene -- West Philly High. Also some touching footage of
Woodlands Cemetery.
PLUS which a bunch of dog references. The homeboys have a mean-looking
pit-bull on a leash. When Marcellus and Chu Mi bust in on the white bad guy,
he's got this little terrier named Pumpkin. Marcellus: "Call off your rat."
Then, in a really funny sequence that defies credulity, Marcellus finds that
Pumpkin doesn't have a license and threatens to send it to the shelter. The
bad guy is all "no, no, not that!" Marcellus: "By tomorrow this little furball
might be DAID!" Bad guy: "I'll talk, I'll talk!" As far as I know, no actual
dogs were mistreated in the filming of the sequence.
