Summary
Suspicion falls on William Murdoch when his neighbor turns up dead after a series of quarrels between the two. Murdoch's cufflink is found at the crime scene. As the evidence against him mounts, the team at Station House No. 4 races to prove he is being set up.
Character Revelations
- The Huckabees put in a second water line and the Murdoch Home pipes burst, forcing William and Julia to return to the Windsor House Hotel.
- Lacking his usual nightly sleep, William is unusually short-tempered, distracted and arguably a bit paranoid.
- Julia gave William her late father's cufflinks as an anniversary gift.
- Murdoch has invented a lawnmower that he loaned to the Huckabees.
- Brackenreid has a new nickname for George,'Crabbers'.
- While George Crabtree is a successful self-published author (ep.503), his first literary traditional published novel "A Man Alone" becomes a smash hit which the Globe book reviewer calls, "The deeply moving and skillfully wrought story of a man in search of love in the modern world." Crabtree's publisher wants him to go on a book tour across the country, Halifax to Vancouver.
Continuity
- When noting Murdoch being late for work, Detective Watts remarks, "Perhaps he dipped into the wine again" (ep.1102).
- Toronto Telegraph reporter Cherry eagerly covers the arrest of the Detective with the questionable alibi.
- Upon discovering six different stab wounds on the body, Murdoch asserts to Crabtree "...no, George, I don't believe it was a team of six kung-fu assassins" (ep.716), who counter with "Could have been three of them".
- Ralph Fellows returns to pursue his vendetta against Murdoch and to prove that he is the genius, not the Detective.
- Murdoch considers the Huckabees to be curt, rude and - malicious, while Mrs. Huckabee thinks the Detective is a homicidal lunatic with connections.
- Julia discovers that Goldie Huckabee did indeed steal their clay pelican figurine (ep.1307).
Historical References
- This episode takes place in Toronto 1907 – Edward VII (Albert Edward;1841-1910) is King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and of the British Dominions beyond the Seas.
- Barbital was marketed in 1904 by the Bayer company as “Veronal”. Barbital was considered to be a great improvement over the existing hypnotics of the time, tasting less bitter than bromides.
Trivia
- As Peter Mitchell revealed during Parker in the Rye: "we will get almost every character on MM behind bars this year."
- The response to "...across the country, Halifax to Vancouver," is an allusion to Jonny Harris' TV series Still Standing (2015) with wonderful weekly stand-up at small towns across the proud and true Canadiana of Canada.
- At the opening of this episode, Crabtree makes a reference to 'The Dome'.
- Brackenreid makes an allusion to the signature idiom of "The Shadow", a 1930s radio pulp drama, when he says: "...what darkness lurks in the heart of a man". The actual introduction, spoken by actor Frank Readick: "Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? The Shadow knows!"
Notable Quote
- Louise Cherry to George Crabtree: "But can you comment on the fact that a disproportionate amount of people close to the Detective end up dead?"
- Brackenreid to George: "There's no telling what darkness lurks in the heart of a man, Crabtree."
- Crabtree to Watts and Brackenreid: "Sir, I know what lurks in the heart of William Murdoch, it is a passion for justice, a respect for science, and a desire to create ingenious automated machines that one day might save us from doing housework. He has more integrity than any man I know, and he would sooner move a house to Mars than kill a vexatious neighbour. And you know what? That's it. I refuse to hear any more on the subject."
