Columbo S4E3 “By Dawn's Early Light” (1974)
No ferns spotted! However, this episode is remarkable in many other ways. For one, it stars Patrick McGoohan, well-known for his role as Number Six in The Prisoner, as a no-nonsense commandant of a military academy. He won an Emmy for his performance in this episode and went on to act in and direct several episodes of Columbo.

Secondly, it was shot on location at Citadel Military College of South Carolina ("The Citadel"), well-known for being sued by Shannon Faulkner, a high school student who applied to the at-the-time all-male college by hiding her gender on her application. She sued for the right to be admitted, and won, but wound up quickly leaving because of the abuse she faced on and off campus.

Lastly, this episode features a vanishingly rare sight of Lt. Columbo sans raincoat and, indeed, sans shirt. You're welcome.

Its astonishing to me that some people didn't think Benoit Blanc was intended to be a gay man.
I mean, they call him the World's Greatest Detective right in the beginning of the film, title almost exclusively held by gay men. Its gay as hell to be the world's greatest detective.

Columbo is my comfort show right now and I literally only came back to Tumblr after a man year hiatus, just to see Columbo content. And now I believe it's my turn to return content back to the masses. (The watermarks are for my Instagram meme page btw sorry)

Columbo meeting Conan Edogawa. There is a jazz ost playing-
Columbo: hmm now isn't that interesten. On the day Shinichi went missen you just hayppened to appear. Kinda a coincidence if you ask me.
Conan: Oh gee minster lieutenant Columbo, that sure is funny. Whoops! -Conan purposefully knocks over vase containing a clue- That's weird! Who put that there??
Columbo: -takes a puff of his cigar-
(ignore my poor Bostonian accent approximation, I was trying to be immersive)

A continuation of that wall of text idea I left in the tags of some poor shmuck's Columbo post.
Post-finale, Dean finds himself going out on cases and running into hunters and people who'd been helped by Cas along the way. It turns out some of them know Dean indirectly, a la Ca's references and anecdotes. (They even know his music.)
"Oh? Oh. You're Dean? You're Dean!"
