S01E04. Actually recognizing and chasing after Dr. Claw in the Gadgetmobile.

There was a moment towards the end of some mid-2000s direct to video movie where he finally puts 2 and 2 together and stomps the shit out Dr Claw with go-go gadget arsenal. I'm guessing he never used that before or after.

That one in the spooky castle where at one point he, Penny and Brain are trapped in a room with spiked walls closing in and he actually notices and gets them out of their on purpose.

"Inspector Gadget's Greatest Caper" I think.

He's actually somewhat smarter, and kind of an asshole at times.
