I liked the idea of Baughb being investigated for something he may or may not have thought. As an Andorian, it's perfectly plausible that Baughb could have been harboring violent thoughts toward the Double D Diner. From the writing perspective, my biggest problem was figuring out how Russell was going to crack the case. I went through several ideas, each less entertaining than the last. I didn't want to end up writing an episode of Law and Order: Waystation. The solution came from the most obvious of places: character. Instead of going through all of these legalistic gyrations, I needed to find something appropriate to Russell's character. The rest just fell right into place.
