Love Me, Love My Skipper - S2-E20

Question: I never understood the "Monkey Wrench" part of this episode. Skipper deliberately puts a monkey wrench in his pocket, then asks Gilligan if he has seen it. In a different scene, Gilligan sees the wrench in Skipper's pocket and tells him he notices he found it. I never understand the relevance of this whole part in relation to the actual storyline (Skipper thinking he was not invited to the Howells' cotillion). What was the idea here?

Answer: He hid the monkey wrench and acted like he misplaced it, as an excuse to visit the other people on the island to see if they got an invitation to the party too.

The Friendly Physician - S2-E29

Plot hole: The scientist yells for Igor to capture the escaping Castaways, to which Igor responds "capture them yourself" in Ginger's voice. The scientist appears surprised to find out Igor is not Igor, but how can this be? He had to be the one to pull the lever to switch everyone's personalities and bodies around, so he should have already known.
