In season 11 episode 12 of Murdoch Mysteries, titled "Mary Wept," Detective William Murdoch is called upon to investigate the strange case of a woman found dead and covered in tears in a church. As he delves into the mystery, he discovers that the victim, Mary, was a devout Catholic who had recently been experiencing stigmata - the unexplained appearance of wounds on her body resembling those of Jesus Christ.
As he questions those close to Mary, Murdoch learns that she was seen by many as a saintly figure, and her stigmata were believed by some to be a sign of a miracle. However, others were not so convinced, and Murdoch begins to suspect that someone may have killed Mary in order to silence her and prevent further investigation into the religious phenomenon.
Meanwhile, Detective George Crabtree is dealing with his own personal crisis. His girlfriend, Nina Bloom, has been offered a lucrative job in Paris and is considering leaving Toronto. George must decide whether to follow her or stay behind and continue his work with the police force.
As the investigation into Mary's death heats up, Murdoch and his team must navigate tensions between the Catholic Church and the secular authorities, and uncover a web of secrets and lies that may lead to the killer. Along the way, they will encounter a host of interesting characters, from religious zealots to skeptical scientists, and face unexpected challenges as they seek to uncover the truth.
Overall, "Mary Wept" is a tense and thought-provoking episode of Murdoch Mysteries that explores issues of faith, science, and the nature of miracles. With strong performances from the cast and a well-crafted plot, it is sure to keep viewers on the edge of their seats from start to finish.
