Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. In season two, an alleged Scotland Yard investigator arrived in town, following a suspect who murdered and gutted young women. While he was there, what game did he gift to the constables of Stationhouse Four?

Answer: Snakes and Ladders

In the episode aptly named "Snakes and Ladders", Edward Scanlon blew up at the constables because they were playing a game instead of working on the case. By way of apology for his outburst, he gave them a snakes and ladders game and taught them how to play it.

Scanlon showed up and inserted himself into one of Murdoch's cases as he believed he was on the trail of a killer who was now murdering young women in Toronto - possibly, he believed, the actual Jack the Ripper. As it turned out, the real Edward Scanlon was dead and the man pretending to be him was actually the killer.
2. Which of these women gave Detective Murdoch a nude painting of herself (sort of)?

Answer: Sally Pendrick

Sally Pendrick and her husband James showed up during the course of a few investigations in season 3; James continued to appear in future seasons, without Sally. In "This One Goes to Eleven", Murdoch stopped by the Pendrick house to ask a few questions, and walked in on Sally posing nude for a painter.

She was not at all shy, and ended up gifting the painting to Murdoch. It was an abstract painting though, with multiple shapes and colours on the canvas. Murdoch tried to pass it off as a landscape of the Canadian Shield, but Dr. Ogden saw immediately that the shapes were supposed to be a woman's torso.
3. In "Murdoch Night in Canada", the city's star hockey player, Eddie Driscoll, was suspected of murdering a team mate. A speculated motive was that the victim had found out what controversial fact about Eddie?

Answer: He was being paid to play hockey.

In this fifth season episode, Eddie Driscoll had recently been recruited to the Toronto Wellingtons hockey team. At the time, it was against the rules for a team to pay any of its players, but it seems that Eddie was being paid, and some of his team mates did indeed suspect this. However, in the end, Eddie was not the killer.

At the end of the episode, it was said that Eddie had moved on to a team in the US where it was okay to be paid to play, and was making six dollars a game; he thought he had the potential to one day make ten dollars a game!
4. In season two's "The Green Muse", Detective Murdoch's old friend Ettie Weston was involved in the investigation. What kind of establishment did Ettie run in this episode?

Answer: Brothel

The character of Ettie Weston originated in Maureen Jennings' first Detective Murdoch novel, "Except the Dying". Ettie and her friend Alice were prostitutes who were witnesses to the crime Murdoch was investigating; unfortunately Alice became a victim as well.

In "The Green Muse", Ettie was the madam at a high-class brothel, disguised as a music academy. At the beginning of the episode, Cora, one of Ettie's employees, was found in a bedroom with her throat slit. Detective Murdoch, of course, found the killer.
5. At the end of season six, Julia was implicated in the murder of her husband, Dr. Darcy Garland. It was actually an elaborate frame-up perpetrated by criminal mastermind James Gillies. Which of these was NOT a piece of evidence used to convict Julia of murder?

Answer: Dr. Garland wrote Julia's name in blood on his floor before he died.

In "Crime and Punishment", on the afternoon of Darcy Garland's murder, the housekeeper took a phone call and heard Julia's voice say she would be over at 6 o'clock. The neighbour later saw 'Julia' enter the house. This was actually James Gillies dressed up as Julia. He'd also used recordings of her voice to fake the phone call to the housekeeper. He also got blood on Julia's dress because he wore it when he killed a young woman who played a part in the frame up.

With this evidence, it was fairly easy for a jury to convict Julia of murder, especially since she also had a strong motive - she'd been seeking a divorce from Darcy so that she could marry William. Darcy had previously agreed to the divorce and then refused. In a previous episode, Julia said she'd "take care of it".

William, of course, uncovered the truth and exonerated Julia before she was hanged in the season finale, "The Murdoch Trap". Though she was then no longer a married woman, the whole ordeal put her off of marrying William for awhile.
6. In season three, Inspector Brackenreid's son was kidnapped out of revenge, by an ex-con whom Brackenreid had arrested a few years prior.

Answer: False

Bobby Brackenreid was indeed kidnapped, in the third season episode "Rich Boy, Poor Boy", but he was taken by mistake. The intended target was Bobby's friend, Robert Stanton, whom he had been playing with in the park. The mistake became clear when Robert's father received a ransom note.

It turned out that Robert was adopted by the Stanton's and his biological mother, just recently out of jail, wanted him back. Detective Murdoch located the kidnappers and convinced them they had the wrong boy. Bobby was safely returned to his parents.
7. In season seven, Detective Murdoch and Constable Crabtree went to Newfoundland in pursuit of a suspect. Who did they follow to Newfoundland?

Answer: Jacob Doyle

The episode, "Republic of Murdoch", was a crossover episode of sorts with another CBC series, "Republic of Doyle". Allan Hawco stars as Jake Doyle in "Republic of Doyle", and played Jacob Doyle in this "Murdoch" episode as well. "Republic of Doyle" is set in the present day and "Murdoch Mysteries" is set around the turn of the 20th century (1901 in season seven), so the Jacob Doyle in this episode is meant to be an ancestor of the Jake Doyle in "Republic of Doyle". Yannick Bisson also appeared in an episode of "Republic of Doyle", playing Bill Murdoch, a descendant of his "Murdoch Mysteries" character, William Murdoch.

In "Republic of Murdoch", a man was killed in Toronto, and Jacob Doyle was a suspect. Murdoch and Crabtree followed him to Newfoundland, and while there, it became clear that Doyle was not the killer. He did help them solve the case though, as did Crabtree's ability to party like a Newfoundlander (him actually being a Newfoundlander).
8. Which famous historical person did not feature in a first season "Murdoch Mysteries" episode?

Answer: J.M. Barrie

Prince Alfred, a grandson of Queen Victoria, appeared in the episode "The Prince and the Rebel", in which he was portrayed as a wild partier. Constable Crabtree was tasked with trying to keep the prince out of trouble.

Nikola Tesla, a hero of Murdoch's, was featured in the very first episode of the series, "Power". He showed up again at the end of season three, in "The Tesla Effect".

Arthur Conan Doyle appeared in two episodes of season one, "Elementary, My Dear Murdoch" and "Belly Speaker". He also appeared again in season six, in "A Study in Sherlock", in which Murdoch met a young man who believed he was actually Sherlock Holmes.

J.M. Barrie did not feature in any episodes of seasons one to seven of "Murdoch Mysteries".
9. In the seventh season finale, "The Death of Dr. Ogden", who died?

Answer: Julia's father

Julia's father, also a doctor, had called her and asked her to come visit. When she got there, however, he had already died. She suspected foul play involved in his death, but his doctor refused to investigate. Julia ended up doing an autopsy herself and getting William to do a bit of detective work.

It turned out that the elder Dr. Ogden had gotten his lady friend to assist him into death; it was said that he probably wanted to Julia to do it and that's why he had called her, but she hadn't gone right away. Julia also learned of her father's past with the lady friend; they had been in love with each other for a long time, since before they married other people.
10. At the end of season two, William discovered he had a half-brother. What is the brother's first name?

Answer: Jasper

In the second season finale, "Anything You Can Do...", Murdoch worked with a member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, whose mannerisms and methods of policing seemed awfully similar to Murdoch's. It turned out that the Mountie, Jasper Linney, was also the son of Harry Murdoch, who also appeared in this episode. Harry had left his children (William and his sister Susannah) after their mother died, to go out west to get rich (this is explained more in depth in the "Murdoch" novel "Let Loose the Dogs"), where he met Lucinda Linney and fathered her son, Jasper.
