Excitable Chap

When Lydia arrives at The Star Room, she tells Nina and Crabtree that she was attacked by The Lurker, but saved herself with a hat pin and he got away. Later, when on stage performing a 'Lurker skit', the real Lurker appears. This time, Nina smashes him over the head with a bottle, to reveal The Lurker's real identity– James Pendrick.

Hot Wheels of Thunder

While roller-skating with Nina Bloom on the boardwalk, she is introduced to Dr. Ogden and Miss Rebecca James who Lydia helps to create a roller-racing team to compete against The Buffalo Queens.
It is revealed that Lydia moonlights as an artist's model when Inspector Brackenreid collects her to join the roller racing team.

Hell to Pay

One week earlier, Lydia Hall was working a private gentlemen's party when she overheard Counselor Williams and Mr. Graham talking about a building on Melinda Street, becoming rich, and taking care of a man named Dobbs. Fearing for her life, she asks Murdoch for help. Mr. Edward Dobbs has been missing for three days. A union man in Colorado was tarred and feathered not long ago, so Mrs. Dobbs fears the worse for Edward because he called for a strike, with some success, against Robert Graham’s company which is rebuilding Toronto from its ashes with the support of powerful construction bigwigs and corrupt politicians. The Inspector warns his Detective if he wants to go after newly elected Counselor Williams and Robert Graham, Murdoch is going to need more than the words of a dance-hall girl and a socialist's wife.
Lydia’s life is in danger as two men come looking for her at The Star Room. She goes to Murdoch at the Windsor House Hotel wanting to leave town instead of staying to help him with the case. She doesn't want to end up like Mr. Dobbs– strangled and later pulled from the river. Lydia had seen Williams murder Dobbs at Graham’s insistence at that party and she didn't– couldn’t help, but before the Detective can do anything, they are both attacked. When consciousness returns to Murdoch, he finds himself in his own bed with Lydia’s lifeless body and the Constabulary banging on the (wrong) door lead by Counselor Williams. Murdoch escapes.
