In the Murdoch Mysteries season 2 episode 8 titled "I, Murdoch," the story begins with Detective Murdoch waking up in a jail cell, without any recollection of how he got there. He is charged with the murder of a prostitute named Mary Williams with whom he had allegedly spent time with the previous night. Murdoch is desperate to clear his name but realizes that he is facing a wall of evidence that seems to point directly at him.
As the investigation progresses, Murdoch's colleagues at Station House No. 4 struggle with the notion that he could have committed such a heinous crime. Inspector Brackenreid, in particular, is torn between the desire to support Murdoch and the need to find justice for the victim.
As Murdoch pieces together his movements from the previous evening, he comes across several leads that seem to exonerate him. At the same time, he begins to wonder if his memories can be trusted at all, given that he has been suffering from recurring blackouts. His only hope of proving his innocence lies in unraveling the mystery of Mary Williams' death.
Dr. Julia Ogden is also on the case, and she is convinced that Murdoch is not guilty. She looks for clues that could point to another suspect, but the evidence is scarce. Meanwhile, Constable Crabtree and Murdoch's loyal assistant, George, work on a theory that could explain what really happened on the night of Mary Williams' murder.
As the investigation heats up, Murdoch discovers that someone is trying to frame him for the murder. He must figure out the identity of this shadowy figure before it's too late. With time running out, Murdoch races against the clock to clear his name and bring the real killer to justice.
The episode is a thrilling ride full of twists and turns that keep the audience on the edge of their seats. The intricate plot and nuanced characters make it a must-watch for fans of the show and newcomers alike. With compelling performances from the cast and a compelling story, "I, Murdoch" is one of the standout episodes of Murdoch Mysteries season 2.
