'Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries' Season 2 Finale Recap: "Murder Under the Mistletoe"
The problem Australian TV has with doing Christmas specials is the holiday lands in midsummer where they are, whereas in most of the Western world to which they export, Christmas brings images of snow. Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries solves that by having Aunt Prudence organize "Christmas In July" and sending the show to the Australian Alps and "The Snowies."
The cold open features a man getting electrocuted while trying to get the Christmas lights to work, just ahead of Fisher's arrival. She and Prudence are staying with Nicholas Mortimer (Simon Burke), the family's business partner in mining, who greets them in shock over having found the body that morning.
Collins: Miss Fisher's gone on holiday again, sir.
Jack: Oh. Anyone dead yet?
Collins: Only one so far, sir.
