This is the second Murdoch Mysteries episode I've watched (the first one was Double Life which dealt hard-core with LGBTI). Anyway, what drew me to Murdoch Mysteries is the welcome absence of gratuitous sex, saws, hostels, drunkenness. Talking of which, The Local Option deals with the temperance movement and features the American Carrie Nation. The ending was a bit meandering, but I guess the script writers are somewhat limited to dramatic devices considering this episode was set in 1903 well before Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and email I guess.
