* ShoutOut: Wiley and Hawkins corner Gage in the locker room with swords in hand, growing suspicious if he’s a Ranger, but assume he’s an ex-con from Huntsville. Gage has this to say after this assumption:
-->'''Gage:''' You're a real ComicStrip/DickTracy.
* SpecialGuest: Creator/JeffYagher as Hawkins, Creator/JoshHolloway as Ben Wiley, Creator/ErnieGrunwald as Morris Dobbs and Creator/ StacyHogue as Lisa.
* TheJinx: Morris Dobbs. Many won’t believe him, but it’s pretty much the truth. The first thing Trivette sees when he gets to the Buell Police station is a complete disaster area, with a Semi truck hitting the station in a freak accident, the front desk officer with his arm in a sling (he claimed to have slipped in the shower). Then it escalates with Trivette’s car breaking down.
* VomitDiscretionShot: Twice this occurs!
** While spending the night at a motel while the mechanic fixes his car, Trivette is seen vomiting in the bathroom of his and Dobbs’ room after they ate at a restaurant. Trivette ordered swordfish, which was likely spoiled at Dobbs’ warnings. The doctor said the same thing when Trivette called him during this time.
** Dobbs also does this while he and Trivette are en route to Dallas after the car is fixed.

'''Medieval Crimes''' is the 17th episode of the Ninth Season on ''Series/WalkerTexasRanger''. It aired on April 14, 2001.
Employees at a medieval restaurant moonlight as art and jewelry thieves, and when one of the members of the gang is killed, Gage and Sydney go undercover at the restaurant to catch the rest of the gang.
In the B-plot, Trivette has to travel to Buell to pick up a prisoner named Morris Dobbs and bring him back to Dallas to testify in a trial, but he claims he is a jinx, at which point the two encounter many hijinks along the way.

!! Tropes seen in this episode:
* HeadsOrTails: When Trivette, Gage and Sydney examine the map of Texas in trying to locate Buell so one, two or all three of them can bring Morris Dobbs back to Dallas to testify at a trial, they decide to flip a coin to see who's going to do it: whoever heads stays behind in Dallas, while whoever tails goes to Buell to pick up Dobbs. Sydney and Gage get heads, while poor Trivette, as expected, ends up with tails.
