'Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries' Season 2, Episode 6 Recap: "Marked For Murder"
This week's Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries cold open starts with the already dead victim hanging naked in the shower. The episode properly begins with a young lady arriving at Abbotsford's football clubhouse after the game asking the vice-captain, Vince Barlow (Dan O'Connor), for an autograph, while Bert cheers on their win over West Melbourne. Vince is happy to sign even as the barkeep asks where the captain is, Harry The Hangman. The coach, Joe Mclean (Robert Morgan), says they left him to his quirky after-game health routine in the sheds as the girl quietly steals his hat for someone waiting outside.
Fisher: All's fair in love and football.
As Bert explains to Miss Fisher, who is hired to find the hat the next morning, this is a calamity. It's the coach's lucky hat. West Melbourne stole it to ensure Abbotsford will lose. Mclean escorts her inside the sheds, to find the floor flooded, and the absent team captain, hung by a West Melbourne scarf. Jack and Collins arrive as Abbotsford fans are riling up and stop Bert and his buddy, Pat O'Farrell (Mat Stevenson), from inciting violence. They also see Harry's wife, Celia Harper (Jessica Clarke), arrive and that Vince asks for her to be taken home.
