"Jagged Little Pill" is the fifth episode of Season Ten and the one hundred thirty-seventh of the series. It airs November 7, 2016.
Summary
In the dead of night, a young woman is running for her life and a prominent Toronto business man is found dead in his automobile by a constable. The next morning in the City Morgue, the autopsy of the murder victim is begun by Dr. Ogden and Miss James. Murdoch informs them that Mrs. McInnis reported her husband missing two days ago. Along with Mr. Ed McInnis' body, Sarah Franklin's body was fished out of the river and arrives at morgue– to Miss James' disbelief and distress: Rebecca has suspicions about the fellow medical student’s suicide.
Character Revelations
- Murdoch never did get the hang of morgue humor; on the other hand, Miss James is a quick study.
- Rebecca James is called Becca by Nate.
Continuity
- Nate Desmond is still sweet on Rebecca, since Colour Blinded.
- Julia patiently stands by as William interviews building contractors for their yet-to-be-built house with an ‘automatic dishwashing cupboard’ and ‘standing bath’.
- Dr. Augusta Stowe-Gullen asks Julia to teach forensic medicine at the Women’s Medical College which Ogden accepts.
Historical References
- Ontario Medical College for Women and its beginnings as Women’s Medical College with its ties to Dr. Emily Stowe; her daughter Augusta Stowe-Gullen taught at the medical college at that time.
- Gutzeit test is a test for arsenic used esp. in toxicology that is based on the formation of arsine (as in the Marsh test) and the production by the arsine of a brown stain on filter paper moistened with mercuric chloride solution; named for Ernst Wilhelm Heinrich Gutzeit (1845-1888) who developed the method.
- The research into syphilis and the sleeping sickness is historically accurate.
- The "modern day" pencil with eraser was invented in 1858 and mass produced in North America by 1904.
Trivia
- The episode was filmed at a medical college in Guelph, Ont.
- While shooting in Guelph during a karaoke break, "Mouna went up and sang and blew everyone’s mind." MM Writers knew that and built it into the Once Upon a Murdoch Christmas storyline.
- Johnny Harris and Thomas Craig do not appear in this episode as their characters Constable George Crabtree and Inspector Thomas Brackenreid.
