The Doctor Blake Mysteries season 5 episode 3, named The Call of the Void, opens with Dr. Lucien Blake receiving a letter from an old friend, Dr. Finlay Wilkie, asking for his assistance in a medical study. Upon his arrival, Dr. Blake discovers that Dr. Wilkie's wife, Dr. Elizabeth Wilkie, has gone missing. Though the couple's relationship has been strained since the loss of their child, Dr. Blake agrees to help find her.
Dr. Blake looks for clues in Dr. Wilkie's home, while his housekeeper Jean Beazley offers her own unique insights. The search leads them to a nearby quarry, where they discover Elizabeth's abandoned car. With no sign of Elizabeth, Dr. Blake begins to fear the worst. Meanwhile, the local police are investigating a robbery that occurred at a nearby chemical factory and they believe it could be related to Elizabeth's disappearance.
As the investigation continues, Dr. Blake is reminded of a previous case where a young woman disappeared under similar circumstances. His search leads him to question a group of local thrill-seekers who enjoy rappelling down the quarry walls. One of the group members, James, catches Dr. Blake's attention as he seems particularly anxious and avoids answering questions about his whereabouts on the night of Elizabeth's disappearance.
As the investigation heats up, Jean begins to receive strange phone calls and she fears someone is watching her. Dr. Blake becomes increasingly concerned for Jean's safety as she seems to be a key piece in this mystery.
Dr. Blake pursues the theory that Elizabeth's disappearance is related to the chemical factory robbery and the thrill-seekers' activities. His suspicions lead him to confront James, and the truth behind both cases is revealed in a dramatic finale.
The Call of the Void is an intense and gripping episode of The Doctor Blake Mysteries, with twists and turns that will keep viewers on the edge of their seats. With a strong focus on character development and attention to historical detail, this episode is sure to resonate with fans of the series.
