Though even if it wasn't Canadian in some fashion (with someone who can actually pass off a decent Canadian accent without butchering it into something more American), it has polar bears, a horribly awesome French accent and the Traveling Lemon.

It really does have everything, though Martin's outrageous anecdote, The Travelling Lemon and Douglas' Biggles act are perhaps the highlights. It's toe-curling and glorious by turns, and is the one through which I've best explained CP's brilliance to novices. Really, John, you are a marvel.

Either he had more faith in Carolyn's 'I will consider it' and Carolyn just couldn't swing it when she went over the books on the ground, or she paid him a very token amount just for that trip, or she's paying him in food.

Martin's character development in this episode, and particularly in that speech, has got to be either that he's stood up to Carolyn, fought his corner well (and doesn't he just!) and won a wage, or that he's come to view himself as a professional regardless of whether he is paid or not. Either he's changed his situation, or he's accepted his situation, but either way he shouldn't be lying about his situation. Something may happen later to end his arrangement with Carolyn, but at the point when he says he gets paid, he's got to be telling the truth.
