"Friday the 13th, 1901" is the fourteenth episode of the seventh season of the Murdoch Mysteries and the ninety-second episode of the series. It first aired on March 3, 2014.

Summary

Julia, Emily and four of their friends (Lavinda, Rose, Diane and Jo) head off to a remote cabin on an island. It's a party to celebrate Lavinda's upcoming wedding to Cedric Maxwell. Cedric's sister, Rose, is part of the party and she and her brother own the family retreat. 

The first evening there Lavinda tells a ghost story that Rose and Cedric knew, supposedly from their father, about a wild boy who would kill the family that had taken him in. Rose seems uncomfortable with the story, trying to stop the telling, but continues it with a frigid air, before Lavinda finally ends the tale. Rose sets in place the suspicion of the tale being true, manipulating the others by placing the subconscious thought in their minds. 

Lavinda is the first to die after running off for a midnight swim. She screams only once, and Julia Ogden and Emily Grace discover her body, with a bloody wound on her back. Evidently Rose caught her from behind.

The remaining women take Lavinda's body to the dock, planning to leave, but the boat had been smashed with an axe, presumably during that first night. Rose was on hand to "discover" the rowboat with Julia Ogden and Diane.

The next night, Rose is able to kill Diane with another blow to the back after both she and Jo fall asleep outside. She drags Diane's body out to the woods, where she remains seated in a chair, then returns to the cabin and sleeps, appearing as though she never left.

Later, as Julia Ogden and Emily Grace examine the bodies in the cold cellar, Rose and Jo head back to the cabin. While crossing the woods at night, Dr. Grace is nearly killed by Rose, but is scared off by Beast of a Man. Rose satisfies herself with beheading Jo and placing her on a silver platter in the cabin. The two doctors figure out who the real killer is and rush back, and Rose attempts to kill them as well, but they manage to take her down and deliver her to the authorities, with Beast of a Man watching from a distance. 

Still reeling from Julia's rejection of his marriage proposal, Murdoch immerses himself in his work. When a drunken Crabtree challenges Leslie Garland to a curling match, he has to put a foursome together. Murdoch declines an invitation to join but applies his scientific approach to helping them play better.
