Recap / Murdoch Mysteries S 6 E 7 The Ghost Of Queens Park

Go To

Tropes:

  • Accidental Murder: Lorraine wanted to punish her victims by scaring them, not killing them. The horror of seeing the "ghost" caused fatal heart attacks.
  • Casting Gag: Lieutenant-Governor of Ontario Sir Oliver Mowat is played by then Lieutenant-Governor of Ontario David Onley.
  • Gold Digger: Walsh married Abigail Marshall for the money and land she inherited from her father. When Abigail tried to turn the land into a bird sanctuary, Walsh had her institutionalized, sold the land to a slaughterhouse, and put his and Abigail's daughter up for adoption.
  • Monochrome Apparition: There are several mysterious deaths in a building near Queen's Park that look like murders. People report seeing a ghost that is bright blue and glows.
  • Ominous Hair Loss: Lorraine begins losing her hair in the final scene she appears in, a side effect of the radium dust she painted herself with in order to appear ghost-like.note 
  • "Scooby-Doo" Hoax: The ghost is a young woman seeking revenge on the men responsible for committing her mother to an asylum to steal her family's land. She painted herself with radium to look like an etherial spectre.
  • Uncertain Doom: Lorraine probably won't face the noose (or any charges) because the deaths she caused were unforeseeable, but due to her exposure to radium, she's suffering from some Ominous Hair Loss, although it's unclear just how sick she is.
