I find IV's coincidences such as this one terribly annoying,
especially when Doc's leads just constantly fall in his lap. But I
guess that's a noir convention too, and maybe P's just pointing to the
absurdity of said narrative conventions.

Also (a) Trillium turns up in Vineland as Mucho Maas' new girlfriend.

And Trillium is another kind of flower.
