'Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries' Season 2, Episode 7 Recap: "Blood At The Wheel"
This week's Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries cold open begins with Miss Gerty Haynes roaring off in her car. Someone quietly follows, but no one goes far. One of the wheels pops off, and Gerty loses control of the vehicle, driving headlong into a tree. The next morning, Miss Fisher is playing billiards with Dr. Mac and Ailsa Wilton (Rachael Blake). Miss Fisher has just founded The Adventuress' Club, which has made a substantial donation to this Saturday's ladies' racecar team. Unfortunately, that's when Ailsa's daughter Millie (Nikita Leigh-Pritchard) runs in to announce there's been an accident.
Jack: Even a Celtic queen has the odd accident.
Jack Robinson arrives on the scene, Collins having called him in, despite vehicular accidents not being his thing. Fisher is already there; she demanded Collins call him. (No wonder Jack thought it was going to be Phryne's body in the car.) Fisher insists this is murder. Jack, still shaken, fights her on it, proclaiming it an accident. He also insists on driving separately to the racetrack to inform Gerty's brother Claude (Rohan Browne) of his sister's passing. Claude, it seems, works for a competing team.
