******* Possible Spoilers !***********Stroll on the Wild Side part 1 "When Detective Murdoch (Yannick Bisson) investigates the abduction of Lucille Messing (Tori Anderson) a shy, churchgoing librarian, he's stunned to discover his former love, Anna Fulford (Lisa Faulkner), working at the library under an alias. Murdoch has grave fears for her safety since the Black Hand, a criminal syndicate responsible for murdering her fiancé, still has a price on her head. Realizing that Lucille's disappearance was not a case of mistaken identity, Anna believes that since she's already been in Toronto for months unnoticed, her life is no longer threatened. Goaded by a rival police inspector, Inspector Brackenreid (Thomas Craig) enlists Constable Crabtree (Johnny Harris), Higgins (Lachlan Murdoch) and the rest of the constabulary to form a baseball team. Meanwhile, Dr. Julia Ogden (Hélène Joy) finds herself in a jail cell at the station house after a scandalized citizen complains that she's teaching birth control to women. Though Murdoch's religious beliefs conflict with her progressive stance, he admires her sense of moral duty. Her husband, Dr. Darcy Garland (Jonathan Watton), does as well - up to a point. As Murdoch's investigation takes him into Toronto's sordid underbelly of gambling dens and brothels, Anna tags along, intrigued by the adventure. Slowly seduced by her warmth and curiosity, Murdoch accepts Anna's conviction she's safe - a belief they may soon come to regret." Stroll on the Wild Side part 2 "After saving his lover Anna (Lisa Faulkner) from the Black Hand, Detective Murdoch (Yannick Bisson) bargains for her life. During his investigation into the murder of a shy librarian with a secret life, he encounters another young woman behaving seductively." Thoughts? www.imdb.com/title/tt1091909/episodes?year=2012

Ooh, that all sounds intriguing! These episodes are in the middle of the season, ep 7 and 8 right? Yep, they both are. If these things actually happen in Series 5, I'd like to see how Julia will be released from jail. William seems to be more flexible about his moral views since he let Ava Moon go, maybe the show writers are setting him up to do something even more morally questionable in this season which would really be interesting to see and make William an even more complex character. Personally, I'd like to see William not be on 'the straight and narrow' and watch the implications of his actions affect himself and the people arround him. |

According to an insider, they are accurate. Someone connected to the show or who has seen filming of those episodes must have posted it. I must say I anticipated the Anna stuff. I saw some pics of the actress that Shaftesbury shared and she was in a library so this explains that! I would think you are right about the Julia stuff. Julia has already expanded his views on things a bit so I would not be surprised if his views are not further expanded in S5.

Julia has already expanded his views on things a bit so I would not be surprised if his views are not further expanded in S5. Wow! So the spoilers are true! Much thanks in advance to the insider.  I wonder how the fans will react when Julia is in jail. In fact, it's interesting to see the tables turned with her in jail and William must prove her innocence. I doubt he would be flippant about her being there. (On a side note, I always wondered why Julia left William to sleep at the Reda's house who don't even know him personally. ) Indeed, Julia has expanded William's mind but I wonder if her influence on him will change him so much that he begins to re-evaluate all of his positions. It makes one wonder what other views of William are subject to change. What I'm intrigued by is how influential Julia is on him. Is it possible that Julia could do something that William may strongly disagree with but chooses to turn a blind eye because she's his beloved? Can William's evolution make him a more open-minded modern person or can this evolution create havoc within himself. Perhaps both. However in the end, (and I hope this isn't true) I think William might have to make an ultimate choice between his job and his values. Because, although Julia is modern and William is slowly moving in her direction of thinking, they are both too radical for the era they live in. The law of the land is way more conservative than the values William is beginning to develop. And if he disagrees with the law and he's supposed to uphold the law, that will create major problems for him. I doubt he'll be able to reconcile the moral constrasts. |

Well, I do think he turned a blind eye about her abortion just because he loves her. He really didn't support that at all. He would have supported it I think if she had been raped but not under the circumstances in which she did it. He did come to understand a little more why a woman would do it through Julia's experience and the woman who died trying to abort her child in the case he was working on. I think even though William is more progressive than his peers he has also had an influence on Thomas and George. So he is able to use his more modern methods and mindsets under Thomas' authority most of the time. His main problem is that he always butts heads with Chief Constable Stockton. I'm sure he will be a thorn in his side with the stuff with Julia.

Like you said there'll probably be some drama between Stockton and Murdoch about Julia being in jail. Indeed Murdoch has had influence on Thomas and George as well. But I'm not sure how far Thomas is willing to go to risk his reputation and job to support William and his ideas... |

******* Major Spoilers According to Alibi TV******* Very Detailed!!!! March 2012 Highlights "Based on Maureen Jennings’ series of hit novels, Murdoch Mysteries features pioneering detective William Murdoch (Yannick Bisson) as he uses fledgeling forensic techniques to solve perplexing crimes in Victorian-era Toronto. In the continuing series five, Murdoch, Constable Crabtree (Jonny Harris) and their boss, Inspector Brackenreid (Coronation Street’s Thomas Craig), find themselves at the dawn of a new century – a time of huge anticipation, trepidation and change. Together with new addition, Dr Emily Grace (Georgina Reilly), the team continues in its quest for the truth. While attending an Orangeman parade, Murdoch witnesses an assassination attempt on the Mayor and while the bullet only passes through his top hat, the Alderman beside him is less fortunate. Murdoch believes that he and his colleagues must tread carefully to not inflame religious tensions between local Protestants and Catholics. At the morgue, meanwhile, things are awkward between Murdoch and Dr Ogden, who are seeing each other for the first time since his suspension and her marriage to another man. To ease the tension, Julia defers to her protégé, Dr Emily Grace who, unflustered by Murdoch’s pointed autopsy questions, proves herself an accomplished pathologist. After Murdoch’s prime suspect, Liam Cuddy, is beaten senseless, it appears the man was a likely a patsy and not a killer. The discovery leads Murdoch to suspect the events are linked to a complex conspiracy. Next, in Evil Eye Of Egypt, the release of Constable George Crabtree’s adventure novel, The Curse of the Pharaohs, fortuitously coincides with the exhibition of a recently discovered mummy’s tomb. At the event, Murdoch is charmed by Dr Iris Bajjali, an archaeologist 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. Given the research he did for his novel, Crabtree appoints himself the constabulary’s ancient Egypt expert and schools a sceptical Brackenreid 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. Next up, an explosion at a market shop knocks Crabtree and Higgins to the street and Murdoch’s survey of the scene uncovers a homemade incendiary device. Peter Milne, the irate shopkeeper, demands that Brackenreid that the police cover his considerable losses, but with Higgins seriously injured in the blast, Brackenreid is enraged by Milne’s selfishness. Further investigation reveals many other neighbours don’t think favourably of Milne, particularly Angus Trout, 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, 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. But to make the case, they’ll need to infiltrate the dangerous group. Finally, in Murdoch At The Opera, Murdoch investigates the poisoning of young opera singer Elvira Cummings during the rehearsals of La Bohéme. Murdoch suspects the intended victim was Madame Rosa Hamilton, the diva who stormed off stage moments before her protégé collapsed. Showing her thoroughness and skill, Dr Grace’s 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, Brackenreid takes a personal interest in the crime, and the famed and flirtatious soprano, inflaming the jealousy of his wife Margaret. As Murdoch, Brackenreid and Constable George Crabtree delve for answers, the dramatic behind-the-scenes machinations reach fever pitch." uktv.co.uk/network/stepbystep/aid/649802 |

But I'm not sure how far Thomas is willing to go to risk his reputation and job to support William and his ideas... There are even more spoilers on IMDB now. It looks like Stockton has been replaced by Detective Giles as Chief Constable. He also butted heads with Murdoch (and with Julia) so we'll see how that plays out, too. Thomas did support Murdoch even when he escaped from prison so I think he will go the distance for him even if he's hesitant to at times. www.imdb.com/title/tt1091909/episodes?season=5 |

Urgh episode 7 and Darcy is still around?! Can't they kill him off? I honestly don't know if I can mnake it through another season with William and Julia apart. Last season was painful enough, but another 13 episodes like this? Sorry, but I don't want to see it, no matter how much I love the show

Patience, caterpillar. I'm sure it will work out for them some way, by the end. They do dance together in the S5 finale. |

But bc I am watching a lot of shows I am getting more and more fed up with the "We get them together, break them up, throw all kinds of crap and heartache their way and then get them back together the last episode so the fans won't complain" routine they have going these days. It's annoying!  |

Well, the S5 finale won't be the show's finale. So I hope they get back together by then and then they can be together in S6. The problem writers have is if they keep them happily together for too long, fans get bored. They are kind of damned if they do, damned if they don't.

For the William and Julia followers make sure you watch episode called Murdoch in Toyland in season 5 - you will like it and Murdoch gets very emotional for a change!!
