Recap / Murdoch Mysteries S 6 E 13 The Murdoch Trap

Go To

Tropes:

  • Death Row: Julia is about to be executed.
  • Death Trap: Murdoch finds himself trapped in one courtesy of James Gillies.
  • Deadly Gas: The trap will release carbon monoxide and kill Murdoch if he uses the phone to make a call that could save Julia from the noose.
  • Latex Perfection: This is how James Gillies managed to impersonate Dr. Ogden. Murdoch recreates it in concept, having Crabtree pose as himself to demonstrate to Giles how it could have been accomplished.
  • Race Against the Clock: The team knows that Julia is innocent, and they have very little time to save her. She's actually sentenced to death already.
  • Recorded Spliced Conversation: Based on the testimony Murdoch figures out James Gilies used spliced telephone recordings from Dr. Ogden to fake the phone call. He is able to replicate this with a call of his own using recordings from Chief Constable Giles.
  • Title Drop: James Gillies welcomes Murdoch to his "Murdoch Trap" in a prerecorded film at the start of the episode.
