When Miss Scarlet & The Duke premiered, it seemed to be following the stereotypical format of any period piece "lady detective" series. The character arrives and forthwith finds herself in need of solving a crime. Despite lots of people saying "A lady detective!?" in shock and awe, she does the job with aplomb, winning the supporting cast's hearts and minds, and opens up shop.

The second episode hinted the series won't go easy on her, putting her in the dock several times, talking openly about money woes, and so on. But the triumph of her second case and Moses's addition suggested this was just the "ups and downs" episode that regularly informs Episode 2 in many mystery series.

Margaret: You work for men. You do whatever they ask. And you take their money and hope they use you again. You may as well be working in a brothel.
