Episode IV: Turnabout Goodbyes
- We begin with what cant even be kindly described as a cutscene: two men are in a boat, one shoots the other, and Edgeworth is holding the gun.
- The next day, Phoenix and Maya are screwing around in the law office as the news talks about Gourdy, the monster that lives in Gourd Lake then the news announces that Edgeworth arrested for murderrrrrrr.
- Edgeworth phases into the detention center from another dimension (seriously, is it too much to ask for him to just be there instead of slowly appearing from nowhere?) and tells us that he doesnt us defending him, but in terms that just seem kind of yaoi to me.
- At the park, Gumshoe explains that 15 minutes after midnight, two men were in a boat on the lake. One man shot the other with a pistol, and when a cop arrived, he arrested Edgeworth because there was a mysterious witness.
- We take some party poppers, which are not very clue-worthy. Chance of them coming up later: 100%. I actually expected them to come up later, instead of immediately when we find a camera by the shore. An angry redneck named Lotta Hart complains that we activated her camera for meteor showers. Why does a camera set to go off for meteor showers go off at loud noises? I bet thats a lie and it comes up later.
- We go to the police department Police departments have mascots? Ive never heard of that. Eventually, Gumshoe gives us a photo of the victim, and Maya eventually goes This guy worked Grossbergs law office. He had that job and the cops still cant identify him?
- Lotta says Derp de derp I have a picture of the murder but its super vague and hard to see. Whats weird is that she said she has TWO photos, but we only see one. Im guessing the other dramatically comes up later, but come on, Phoenix, you need to ask for more details here.
- Grossberg identifies the dead man as Robert Hammond Bob Ham And? Robbing Ham And? Hm, dont see the pun. Anyway, he says Hammond was the defense attorney in the DL-6 Incident where Mayas mom contacted the ghost of the murdered man. The murdered man: Edgeworths father.
- Heres where I get to flex my completely useless took a bunch of English courses in college muscles and say that in 19th century novels, it was very common to have a million coincidences that make no sense to drive the plot. This reminds me of that.
- Edgeworth finally accepts me as his lawyer, then tells me the details of the DL-6 Incident: his father was shot and killed before his eyes, and only one man could have done it. The spirit medium said the same thing, but Robert Hammond got the guy off. And the statute of limitations on the case runs out in just three days
- Then theres an earthquake, and man, that cop standing in the background is a professional for sure. Edgeworth apparently is afraid of earthquakes.
- After telling Gumshoe were his lawyers, the day ends
