Plot Overview

Gambling Debts

The dead man is found to be on the outskirts of a golf course. The body is identified by Danny; it is an old friend of his (and Mary's) named Greg. Danny says that he had a gambling problem.

Ed tells Danny to let the police handle it, but because Danny has an idea that Greg had borrowed money from someone in Vegas, he goes to investigate with Delinda. He finds out that he had borrowed money from a guy named Tommy O'Reilly, a well-known scum of Vegas. He finds O'Reilly on the strip, chases him down and beats him up. The cops tell Danny that when he they investigate O'Reilly's house they cannot find anything to link him to the murder.

At Greg's funeral Mary and Danny take his ashes and let them go outside the strip.

King Arthur

The Montecito hired a new act; an impersonator of King Arthur. However the actor who players King Arthur is quite eccentric, and walks around the casino in character, referring to Ed as Melvin the magician.

Everyone seems to love the guy, even Ed's wife wants tickets to his show, which sells out quickly. Ed finds out that the actor who plays King Arthur has a medical history of psychological problems. He tells him that he knows about this to get him to calm down.

King Arthur walks out onto the ledge of the wave pool and throws his sword into the water, because he feels he has failed as a knight. This causes the wave pool to stop working, although know one saw what happened. This is going on during a surfing competition. Although it appears that the competition is ruined, King Arthur saves the day by diving into the pool, in full armor, and pulling the sword out, just as the real King Arthur did.

Senator's Secret

A senator is staying at the Montecito, Senator Henderson. Senator Henderson is well known for his campaign against the excesses of what he sees in liberal culture. However the senator comes to the Montecito monthly and engages in the same excesses that he complains about.

Although the Senator gives the casino a hassle everytime he comes; he is in major debt to the casino and has to be protected at all times (no matter where he goes), he still is accepted in and given preferential treatment. Danny seems to think that he has something hanging over Ed. In fact he does, the senator was head of the senate intelligence committee at the time when Ed was in the CIA.

A reporter keeps hanging around the casino, and Ed keeps having to throw him out. Even when the senator goes to a strip club the reporter shows up. Senator Henderson complains about it, and tells Ed that if anything gets out, he's going to talk about an incident that happened with the CIA involved with something they had no business with, and that it got really ugly. Ed finally decides that what happened in the past should get out, and he doesn't want to protect the senator anymore. The senator again threatens him after the news catches the story of the senator's exploits, but Ed sends him on his way in a common taxicab and airplane.
