Murdoch Mysteries: Murdochophobia (2013)
Season 7, Episode 6
Fears people have and how a murderer can use them
25 January 2015
People in this hospital are treated for fears by Dr Ogden. Sarah a patient dies in this hospital after crashing through a window. She is afraid spiders. She and her husband are both homosexuals, it is a marriage of convenience. When, the husband is questioned he says "I loved her in my own way" .

Murdoch tells his boss the dead woman's husband is a homosexual and his boss said maybe he lied. Murdoch says "I doubt he would lie to a police officer." Yeah right, Murdoch is is his own dream world. They also show the finger nails of a dead woman in a scene being examined by Dr Gale, it is disgusting even though it is only a video.

A patient afraid of horses supposedly a religious man saw two women in a to close for comfort relationship in the room and it made him angry. It was said because of his religion that made him angry he could be a suspect. People that had these known fears were being attacked by someone either in the hospital or out.

A woman afraid of feathers who might be released by Dr Ogden says Pauline might me forced into sex by her husband. I guess the hospital had conjugal visits but the wife refused. Dr Ogden is more of a feminist which blames everything on males. It seems the people that have morals are made out to be nuts, murders or hateful vindictive religious people.

Parts of the episode are funny with Officer Crabtree. He has a spider he named Webster. Dr Gale experiments on how long it takes spiders to die. Officer Crabtree does not like Webster being experimented on and in the end Webster is still alive well for a little bit.

I did not see the earlier seasons of Murdoch but I am starting to see they are biased against normal behavior. The mysteries are good, the dialog is insulting to people like me. Murdoch can make the "Signs of the Cross" all he wants on his chest but the writers of the story make his convictions meaningless. I can see if Murdoch is Father Brown the "Sign of the Cross" has meaning, I am not a Catholic but to me there is no sincerity is this gesture. It is like an a common expression "Oh my god". This "Sign is all for show.
