Detective Lachie

"You're an absolute clown."

- Detective Lachie

Detective Lachie is a key side character. His goal is to take down Anjin and find out the bottom of the mystery left behind in the Lachieninja videos.

The Good, and the Plain
Detective Lachie is debatably the main character in this episode, appearing almost equal, possibly more, in run time to the review. Despite this being the first episode he appears in, this episode is the 2nd time he appears if you follow the correct timeline.

Detective first wakes up in a bush, seemingly losing his memory as he says;

"I tried my best to gather whatever I could but, I had no recollection of what had happened."

- Detective Lachie

There, he gathers his signature hat, coat, the Anjin keyring and the picture of a house, and goes to search for answers regarding Anjin. He asks various different Lachies, including a Policeman for help, where he eventually manages to steal Italian Lachie's bike as transport. Soon enough, Detective finds himself with British Lachie, who is the Lachie who finally manages to lead him onto the trail of Anjin by giving him the address of the house that was in the picture he had when he awoke.

After the outro, Detective comes face to face with Lachie, who seems confused. Detective pleads him to get out of here because The Darkness has corrupted him and it's stolen the entire channel. After hearing this, Anjin, who was posing as Lachie, puts away his innocent act. He tells Detective Lachie that he gave him another chance after he started snooping around last time, which in post is obviously referring to the events of How to Complete a Trilogy. Anjin tells Detective Lachie he doesn't belong in this universe, and just like that, Detective finds himself in a universe that is most certainly not the one he was just in, because there he meets Void Eon, who is not a Lachie form.

How to Complete a Trilogy
Midway through the episode, which takes place 3 months prior to the events of The Good and the Plain, Detective Lachie heads to Popoo Police Station and is hired by the 'wog' Policeman. This Policeman Lachie proceeds to supply Detective Lachie with the key-chain and the photo of the house we saw in The Good, and the Plain, along with the information that Lachie seemed to not know anything about what was going on with Anjin.

Later, Detective Lachie goes into Lachie's house where he is swiftly knocked out by Anjin, and supposedly later thrown into the bush to where he ended up in the start of The Good, and the Plain.

Finally, at the very end of the post-outro scene, a transition between the stolen fedora on Lachie's wall in the present and a squid serves as the transition between the separate realities that Lachie and Detective Lachie are residing in at the same time. Detective Lachie from after he was kicked from the Lachie-dimension, talking to someone on the phone about the fact that he managed to find a channel simply called Anjin.
