Due South/Recap/S3/E08 Spy vs. Spy

By doing a favor for a chess buddy, Fraser finds himself drawn into a shadowy contest of spies, most of whom are totally incompetent.

Tropes featured include:

• All Part of the Show: Fraser finds himself onstage during a ballet and plays along. Later in the episode, we see the headline of a review praising his role.
• Badass Grandpa: Nautilus, aka Ruth
• Come with Me If You Want to Live: Pike introduces himself to both Fraser and Kowalski this way.
• Did Not Do the Research: The Magic Flute is not a ballet.
• Drives Like Crazy: Pike
• Out-of-Genre Experience: Where the new genre is "farcical spy drama".
• Running Gag: Both times someone leaves Pike's car, they are thrown onto a bench and break the same guy's stereo
• Spy Speak: Fraser fails to speak it properly during the ballet scene.
