It takes Daniel a while, but still, he does eventually figure it out: "I'm being framed."
"Framed?"
"Yes, I'm being framed as being Methos."
"Yeah, sure, you betcha. Why would someone frame you as Methos? Are you sure you aren't Methos? We've been partners a long time, well, not long for you, I guess, but come on, you can tell me."
"Let me repeat: I. Am. Not. Methos."
"Okay, okay. I get you. Ixnay on the Ethosmay."
And even those few people who don't have a sneaking suspicion that Daniel really is Methos don't believe that he's being framed. But he really, really is.
