[lizmc]

From the CBC: As Murdoch seeks a promotion, a constable is shot in a botched raid on an opium den led by Watts.

A 2 parter to conclude the season....fingers crossed for an announcement of season 13...…..

Looks like Murdoch's book might have got him in line for a promotion - -

That was crazy. So many different stories happened all at once. I hope it comes out that Miss Hart was the cause of Julia's miscarriage as they sort of dropped that potential storyline. She's always had it in for Julia, sometimes blatantly, other times subtly. So who gave her the bullet fragment?

I could only watch once yesterday, so I have to watch again tonight......I'm sure there is a lot of detail I missed.....poor John.....is he being framed for something he did, or is someone using him to get at his father or Murdoch, or Watts?  I think we are going to see Miss Hart has a side we haven't anticipated.....

OKAY I HAVE THOUGHTS - LOTS OF THEM

- TOM AND MARGARET GET OVER YOURSELVES okay? Face smash and make-up. kthankxbai.
- I honestly had no issues with Viola Hart (it was kind of nice to have a character not so likeable) until she fabricated evidence in this episode now I'm like nope you better get what you've asked for girl and when you fall I will relish in it.
- Her ambition clearly will be her downfall here. She's taken it too far. YOU DO NOT FABRICATE EVIDENCE!!
- The one thing that irks me though is that her wanting to be corenor and her alliance with SH1 inspector hasn't really been addressed this season??? other than the first episode and then again here at the end - i would have liked a few more threads inbetween.
- Cannon Frankie Drake has Murdoch staying at Dectective and I can already sort of see how that happens. Murdoch is the straightest shooter in Toronto and he's already sort of running into issues with this sponsorship. I can kind of see this happening like when Brackenreid ran for Council? back in S3 or 4.
- I actually think Catholic big-shot is behind the whole thing. Annddd there goes Murdoch as Inspector.
- JOHN YOU ARE BEING A IDIOT
- Watts i want to hug you. It is not your fault that everyone you get close to dies. It's what happens i'm afraid. look at George.
- JULIA IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT - the bullet impacted spine, removing it wouldn't have made a difference.
- (is it bad that I kind of want John to stay disabled??)
