Summary

Character Revelations

- Lacking his usual nightly sleep, William is unusually short-tempered, distracted and a bit paranoid.
- Murdoch has invented a lawnmower.

- Julia gave William her late father's cufflinks as an anniversary gift.
Continuity

Historical References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.
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 an allusion to 'The Dome'– SkyDome is the former name of the Rogers Centre stadium in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Notable Quotes
- 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?"
- 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."
