'Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries' Season 1, Episode 10 Recap: "Death by Miss Adventure"
This week's Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries cold open is the most gruesome yet, featuring a female factory worker thrown into a machine. It's horrible enough to upset the unflappable Dr. Mac, who turns up at Phryne's house first thing the next morning, traumatized by what she saw when she answered the emergency bell. The victim's name was Daisy Murphy, and Mac insists her death no accident.
Miss Fisher: I was a very charming freight train.
Fisher is surprised how well-known Mac is at the factory when they arrive on the scene. Mac says she's been tending to the owner, Roderick Gaskin (Andrew Blackman). She was on site doing his regular injections when Daisy's death was called in. Collins is there when they arrive, sick to his stomach over what he's seen. He's also signed paperwork for Gaskin, declaring this an accident. Mac wants to push it, but Gaskin sits on the hospital board and is willing to threaten her job if the two don't leave at once. Robinson is also ready to write things off until Fisher points out that if Gaskin's timeline is correct and Daisy died at the beginning of the shift, 8 a.m., how had the blood splatters completely dried by half-past nine?
