I've been away for awhile so I'm just catching up on things, but I've noticed that Higgins has been absent for most of this season. I find it odd that the writers haven't offered some explanation, considering he was quite a fixture at the station and had taken more of an active role in investigations in the past. His absence is quite noticeable!

Yeah, I agree! He was pictured in the last episode, but he didn't appear in the flesh.  Hopefully soon? I think Emily is probably taking up some of his screen time. |

I have followed this series from the start, the ups and downs and constant time changes on City but have stuck with it happily as I think it is one of the best shows on TV. However lately I have noticed an alarming trend of lazy writing creeping into the show. Case in point last nights espisode of the University women.
1. The role of the pens was never fully explained?
2. How in the world did he drown 2 other women and then drag the bodies to the places they found them without being scene or caught?
3. For a 'poor farm girl' as Dr Grace was supposed to be (quote from her ex finace in the hockey story) she certainly knows and did move in some very respectable circles, right up there with Dr. Ogden who does have money.
4. The old canard of your ex moving in doen the street from you as Darcy is doing to Julia, is just a very lazy plot device to turn him into the villain and use that as a plot to get him out of the way o they can marry. Just write him out gracefully is classier and just not hackneyed as this is going about.
Here's hoping this is just a blip and its gets back to well written plot driven stories. On the plus side we now know George has another aunt, Begonia.

1) I thought that about the pens, too. I think it was supposed to just be a false lead that made Muller look suspicious. He had given all three of the women pens, I think. 2) I would think that since Storey had money, he hired muscle/thugs to move the bodies. These would be guys who knew how to move the bodies at night so that no one would see them. And if anyone did see them, these guys have no problem knocking them off, too. 3) Dr. Grace was given access to the country club and all the luxuries of the upper class because of her ex-fiance. That was mentioned several times in the episode. Once she broke off the wedding, she was no longer given a membership there nor allowed to move in those circles. 4) Yeah, that was somewhat convenient. I already haven't liked Darcy since the way he treated Julia in S5 though. George has actually mentioned his Aunt Begonia before.  |

Except for the last sentence, yeah. They've probably read the wikia page.

What I think will happen in the finale:
-Darcy will be killed by Gillies
-Obviously William and Julia will become prime suspects in Darcy's murder
-It will be up to Dr. Grace, Brakenreid, George and Higgins to prove Julia and William's innocence.
-Gillies will escape them once again.
AND THEN maybe even though it is a long shot. William and Julia will offically get engnaged at the end of the episode and the next season kicks off with a wedding of William and Julia and a murder.
Again just my predictions. Probably going to be completely off.

I hope they'll be married for S7 and will be in the process of adopting a child and starting a family. I would love to see them as husband and wife, navigating the challenges that would entail. One issue would be Julia's career if she becomes a mother. We might get to see some interaction with their in-laws, too. William with Julia's father and Julia with William's father. That could also be interesting. |

So excited and happy that Murdoch Mysteries got renewed for another season and that we get 5 extra episodes! Words can't describe my enthusiasm.  |
