Ep 3. Dinosaur Fever

In "Dinosaur Fever," the third episode of season two of Murdoch Mysteries, Detective William Murdoch and Constable George Crabtree investigate a murder that took place during an excavation in Toronto. The victim, an assistant paleontologist, was found dead in a pit where dinosaur bones were being unearthed.

Murdoch and Crabtree must navigate the complicated world of paleontology as they attempt to solve the case. The man in charge of the excavation, Dr. Iris Bajjali, is initially resistant to their investigation, but as they uncover more clues, she becomes more cooperative.

Meanwhile, Murdoch's colleague and love interest, Dr. Julia Ogden, is dealing with her own issues as she tries to find funding for her work at the hospital. She attends a fundraising event where she meets a wealthy and influential philanthropist, but things don't go quite as she planned.

As the investigation continues, Murdoch and Crabtree encounter a number of suspects, from a rival paleontologist to a disgruntled former employee. In typical Murdoch Mysteries fashion, the clues gradually fall into place and the detectives eventually solve the case.

Along the way, the episode touches on a number of interesting scientific topics, from the debate over evolution to the challenges of paleontological excavation. And as always, the characters' personal lives add an additional layer of drama and intrigue.

Overall, "Dinosaur Fever" is a strong episode in a great series. Fans of Murdoch Mysteries will enjoy the combination of historical detail, scientific intrigue, and dramatic storytelling that has made the show so popular.
