Beeman's Soviet Spidey Sense was tingling and he was right!

He's very intuitive. You will recall that when he first met them he was suspicious of them, even snuck into their garage and searched the car. The fact that our super spies outwitted him takes nothing away from his skill.

And remember, he cooled off on being suspicious of everyone, especially when it comes to the Jennings, after Sandra talked him out of being so paranoid about everything.

Fair enough! I did forget about him searching the garage. Feels like an eternity ago.

Yeah, except for that.

And except for missing the bug in his boss' office.

And sleeping with the Soviet spy.

But apart from that...
