* In the episode "Invention Convention", when Brackenreid is going to the dentist, actually physically being coerced by his wife of all things, Crabtree comes by, gives him the report of the status of the case, then runs off with the apple Brackenreid was gonna have as a reward. Later comes the CallBack from Brackenreid as he thanks Crabtree for him giving the report and running away from the dentist.

* Most episodes featuring crimes that are seemingly linked to supernatural causes often involve comedic scenes of Crabtree coming up with wild theories about how these things could be at play, before being shut down by Murdoch and/or Brackenreid. One particular example is his fixation with vampires in "Bloodlust", where he gives his superiors a long-winded presentation proposing that the presumed deceased Daniel Irvin is a vampire; that he is actually the ''same'' man as his similar-looking grandfather, Alexander Tepes; and that his true identity is the famed supposed vampire ''Vlad the Impaler''.
** Crabtree spends the entirety of "Journey to the Centre of Toronto" obsessively pursuing the idea that mole men are behind the various underground robberies that have been occurring around town. Murdoch exasperatedly tells him that there are no such thing, much like vampires. Crabtree concedes that "there are no vampires....in North America."
** In "Painted Ladies", Crabtree's latest wild theory is that the RoaringRampageOfRevenge of the SerialKiller they are trying to catch is inspired by ''{{Literature/The Ugly Duckling}}''. He begins relaying the story, only to abruptly stop. Murdoch asks him to go on, able to see the connection. Crabtree apologizes and continues, admitting to Murdoch that he stopped because "you don't usually let me get this far".
* In an ironic twist, when a lake monster is believed to be the culprit in "Loch Ness Murdoch", Brackenreid, Julia and even Murdoch are convinced by its existence and investigate; meanwhile, Crabtree ends up becoming [[AgentScully the skeptic]] doubting the idea of such a creature existing, leading to this exchange:
-->'''Brackenreid:''' You don't believe in [[SeaMonster sea monsters]]?
-->'''Crabtree:''' Obviously there are monsters in the sea, Sir. That's why they call them sea monsters. But I've never heard of any lake monsters. I just can't imagine anything so dastardly living in fresh water.
-->'''Brackenreid:''' Crabtree, wait a minute! You're telling me that you believe in [[ContinuityCavalcade zombies, vampires, werewolves, Martians, Venusians, voodoo, curses, ghosts]], [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and, apparently, sea monsters]]. But a creature in Lake Ontario that both I and Detective Murdoch have witnessed is beyond the scope of your otherwise ''vivid'' imagination. You're telling me that?
-->'''Crabtree''': Sir, I can't attest to what you witnessed. I'm afraid that I remain a skeptic.
* Also from "Bloodlust", Julia has a rather steamy fantasy moment about William, which is then interrupted by Darcy, her fiancé, entering the scene and asking her "Have you given it to the detective yet?" (referring to the wedding invitation), much to her initial confusion.
