Inspector Rex is a crime procedural television series that follows a German shepherd named Rex, who works as a police dog with the Vienna Kriminalpolizei (Kripo). The show primarily focuses on the investigations and cases solved by Rex and his team of detectives. This particular episode, titled "Diagnosis Murder," is the second episode of the first season of the English subtitled version of Inspector Rex.

The episode begins with a group of doctors having a meeting at a restaurant. They are discussing the case of a patient who died mysteriously while under their care. Amidst the discussion, one of the doctors, Dr. Faber, collapses on the floor and dies. Inspector Moser is called to the scene and he suspects that Dr. Faber was poisoned. He orders an autopsy to confirm his suspicions.

Meanwhile, Rex and his handler, Detective Stockinger, are investigating a case where a car was stolen from outside a hotel. They discover that the car belongs to a famous writer, Frank Koerner. Upon further investigation, they find that the writer is staying at the same hotel where Dr. Faber died. This makes Rex's team suspicious and they start looking into the writer's activities before and after Dr. Faber's death.

As the investigation progresses, Moser and Stockinger find that the stolen car was used by someone to move Dr. Faber's body to the restaurant. They also find that Koerner had a motive for wanting Dr. Faber dead, as the latter had given Koerner a negative prognosis for his wife's illness. Koerner was worried that his wife's illness would be made public, which would negatively impact his career as a writer. This realization leads them to suspect Koerner of being involved in the murder.

Rex and his team question Koerner and his wife, but they deny any involvement in the murder. However, Rex's sharp sense of smell leads him to a vital clue that helps the team solve the case. Along with Moser and Stockinger, Rex confronts the real killer and exposes their motive. In the end, justice is served, and the case is solved.

Throughout the episode, viewers also get a glimpse into the personal lives of the characters. Moser is seen struggling with his drinking problem, while Stockinger's wife is shown to be pregnant. The show balances the personal lives of the characters with the main investigation plot.

In conclusion, "Diagnosis Murder" is a thrilling episode that keeps the viewers engaged with its suspenseful plot and interesting characters. Rex proves to be a valuable asset to the team, and his unique skill set helps the detectives solve the case.
