Before Geoffrey Lawrence embarks on the maiden voyage of the Consortium, Eleanor Guthrie hands him his true manifest, false manifest and bribe money. Frasier says that they should go over the details one more time. Lawrence tiredly replies that the harbormaster is Singer, the foreman Smith, the warehouse manager is Clay and the customs man is Kent. Lawrence then warns them that if he doesn’t depart soon, the goods in his hold will be rotten by the time he arrives.
Season Two[]
When Lawrence returns from his voyage, which yielded a disappointing amount of money. Eleanor is surprised by the fact that they were shortchanged, because all his papers and payoffs were in good order. Lawrence explains that her family name is not in good order, and he was met with great skepticism from the merchant buyers and the customs house. Lawrence says that he was questioned for three hours by Kent when he realized he was Eleanor’s agent, and that he had to threaten there would be reprisals against Kent personally if he were to try and arrest Lawrence. Vane then asks by whose hand Lawrence said there would be reprisals, and it is obvious that Lawrence used Vane’s name.
