Toronto is hit with a series of bank robberies where the lone gunman not only takes the money but kisses a pretty girl before running off. Pesky Toronto Gazette reporter Patty Glenn is all over it which is proving to be more sensational than the the recent vampire stories.

13Murdoch in Wonderland

With the wedding of Dr. Ogden and Dr. Darcy Garland just days away, Detective Murdoch awakens from a drugged stupor at a crime scene to find that he is the prime suspect in the murder of Randolph Littlefair, the guest of honor at the previous night's Alice in Wonderland costume party. Inspector Brackenreid believes Murdoch was framed, but when Station House 3's Inspector Giles (Nigel Bennett) is handed the case, Giles orders Murdoch jailed until the truth is known. Giles interrogates Murdoch about the party, but nothing in Murdoch's hazy memory can exonerate him. The case against him grows even stronger when it's learned he arrested Littlefair years earlier. The fact that Littlefair wasn't convicted suggests Murdoch took the law into his own hands. To discover the truth, Murdoch escapes from jail to look for the one guest at the party who knew Littlefair back then as well. Meanwhile, Ruby Ogden discovers that Murdoch had intended to propose to her sister, Julia - throwing Julia into emotional turmoil hours before her wedding. When Julia sends an impassioned note to Murdoch, he faces an agonizing choice: see justice done in Littlefair's murder or rush to the church to stop the wedding. The choice he makes stuns Brackenreid and could well mean the end of Murdoch's career. Written by

1Murdoch of the Klondike

On suspension for interfering in an investigation, and on the run for surreptitiously freeing a murderer to make amends, William Murdoch (Yannick Bisson) has left Toronto, and police work, for the Yukon in pursuit of solace and fortune. Back in the city, newly promoted Chief Constable Giles (Nigel Bennett) makes it clear to Inspector Thomas Brackenreid (Thomas Craig), that he'll be keeping a very close eye on police matters. Meanwhile, Murdoch's beloved former associate, Dr. Julia Ogden (Hélène Joy), is now working alongside Acting Detective George Crabtree (Jonny Harris) and Dr. Emily Grace (Georgina Reilly), a feisty young protégé. In the remote north, Murdoch is pleased to discover that his fledgling prospecting career may garner great success, a small comfort after Julia's marriage to another man. But as he tries to rebuild his life, he finds himself drawn into the case of Mrs. Elizabeth Bryant (Jill Halfpenny), an innkeeper charged with murder. The plot thickens when writer Jack London (Aaron Ashmore) lends his insights, and Murdoch soon realizes that while he had hoped to leave his shattered heart and tattered career back in Toronto, his days as a detective are not behind him.

2Back and to the Left

On parade day, the local members of the Orange are out in strength but an assassin's bullet, which may have been intended for Mayor Hopkins, kills an Alderman. The police have conflicting reports of where the gun shot came from but Murdoch quickly locates the room from where the gun was fired. Brackenreid orders Murdoch to round up the usual trouble makers - mostly Irish Catholics - but he makes little headway. Murdoch sees Dr. Ogden for the first time since his return and her protégé Dr. Emily Grace conducts the autopsy and is impressed with her interpretation what happened. The police have confiscated all of the cameras from parade watchers and one of them seems to point them to their man. It's not that simple however as Murdoch uncovers that more than one shot was fired. Written by

3Evil Eye of Egypt

The release of Constable George Crabtree's (Jonny Harris) adventure novel, The Curse of the Pharaohs, fortuitously coincides with the exhibition of a recently discovered mummy's tomb. At the event, Detective Murdoch (Yannick Bisson) is charmed by Dr. Iris Bajjali (Athena Karkanis), an archeologist involved in the recent discovery. But when one of the other expedition archaeologists opens the sarcophagus for the audience, a cobra strikes and he's killed instantly. Murdoch immediately shuts down the exhibition, taking the casket as evidence. Organizer Desmond Rutherford (Aidan Devine) is outraged, but his ailing associate Phillip Uxbridge (Julian Richings) is relieved. Uxbridge tells Murdoch that everyone involved in the expedition is cursed. Given the research he did for his novel, Crabtree appoints himself the constabulary's ancient Egypt expert and schools his skeptical superior, Inspector Thomas Brackenreid (Thomas Craig), on the sequence of tragedies tied to the famous mummy's curse. Both Brackenreid and Murdoch are seeking more pragmatic answers, but as the bodies begin to pile up, it appears that Crabtree's strange explanations may have some merit.

4War on Terror

An explosion at a market shop knocks Constables Crabtree (Jonny Harris) and Higgins (Lachlan Murdoch) to the street. Detective Murdoch's (Yannick Bisson) survey of the scene uncovers a homemade incendiary device. Peter Milne (Brock Johnson), the irate shopkeeper, demands to Inspector Brackenreid (Thomas Craig) that the police cover his considerable losses. But with Higgins seriously injured in the blast, Brackenreid is enraged by his selfishness. Further investigation reveals many other neighbours don't think favourably of Milne, particularly Angus Trout (John Jarvis), who was driven out of business by the aggressive merchant. As Murdoch, Higgins and Brackenreid develop theories about the incident, Brackenreid believes the constabulary may have been the actual targets, given the proximity of the shop to a new police callbox. The notion is quickly quashed when Murdoch is greeted by Terrance Meyers (Peter Keleghan), a high-level government official. Meyers suggests that the Canadian government's diplomatic effort to secure a state visit by the American President was the motive. As for suspects, he's certain he knows who was behind what he deems an anarchist terror attack - noted Communist and labour activist Emma Goldman (Lisa Goldman). But to make the case, they'll need to infiltrate the dangerous group.

5Murdoch at the Opera

When Elvira Cummings (Alison Jantzie), a young opera singer, is poisoned during a rehearsal of La bohème, Detective Murdoch (Yannick Bisson) suspects the intended victim was Madame Rosa Hamilton (Measha Brueggergosman), the diva who stormed off stage moments before her protégé collapsed. Showing her thoroughness and skill, Dr. Grace's (Georgina Reilly) autopsy brings her to the same conclusion as Murdoch: the aspiring soprano was killed by a fast-acting poison, likely slipped into her prop glass by one of the other on-stage performers. A serious opera aficionado, Inspector Thomas Brackenreid (Thomas Craig) takes a personal interest in the crime, and the famed and flirtatious soprano, inflaming the jealousy of his wife Margaret (Arwen Humphreys). Further investigation into the opera company uncovers almost unanimous disdain for Rosa, and a rumoured love triangle between Rosa, her longtime lover, tenor Carlo Corsi (Paulino Nunes), and the dead singer. As Murdoch, Brackenreid and Constable George Crabtree (Jonny Harris) delve for answers, the dramatic behind the scenes machinations reach operatic heights.

6Who Killed the Electric Carriage?

When the inventor of a nickel and cadmium battery is murdered, Detective Murdoch (Yannick Bisson) suspects the killer might be an associate or rival. His investigation quickly leads him to James Pendrick (Peter Stebbings), the eccentric entrepreneur he's met on numerous other occasions. Pendrick has created an astonishing bullet-shaped vehicle that runs on electric power stored in the remarkable battery. Pendrick convinces Murdoch to climb into the tiny cockpit and race the vehicle down a country road. Murdoch is enthralled, and confounded that while many clues point to Pendrick as a suspect, what could incite him to kill an important associate? Meanwhile, Inspector Brackenreid (Thomas Craig) fears that his wife may be seeing another man. He enlists Constable Crabtree (Jonny Harris) to spy and report any untoward behaviour. Despite his initial trepidation, Crabtree complies and discovers a shocking secret. As Murdoch continues his murder investigation, he learns that Pendrick was aggressively soliciting investors through a public stock offering to expand production. His goal is to create a vehicle that will rival those of Henry Ford's Detroit Motor Company. To prove his mettle, and the superiority of his transportation invention, Pendrick stages a motor race. As Murdoch watches the spectacle, he gains further insights into this strange new world of modern innovation and...murder.

Others who worked there include retired Chief Constable Stockton who was the station's inspector and Brackenreid, who was a uniformed officer.
