Set in Toronto in 1895, Murdoch Mysteries is a gripping crime drama that explores the cases of Detective William Murdoch (Yannick Bisson), an innovative detective with a brilliant mind and a passion for science and technology. The show's first episode, "Power," follows Murdoch as he investigates the mysterious death of a young woman who was found electrocuted in a house that was newly wired for electricity.

As the episode begins, Detective Murdoch is assigned to the case of a woman who has been found dead in a house in a wealthy neighborhood. The house, owned by a wealthy businessman named Thomas Brackenreid (Thomas Craig), has recently been wired for electricity, and the victim seems to have suffered an electrical shock. But as Murdoch starts to investigate, he realizes that there is more to the case than meets the eye.

Working with Constable George Crabtree (Jonny Harris), his colleague at the police station, Murdoch begins to piece together clues and evidence that suggest that the woman's death may not have been an accident. He talks to a number of people who were in the house at the time of the incident, including Brackenreid's wife and daughter, as well as the family's housemaid, who appears to be hiding something.

As the investigation continues, Murdoch begins to experiment with various scientific and technological methods of detection, such as fingerprint analysis, light detection, and electrocution experiments. His unconventional methods help him to uncover new clues and evidence, and he slowly begins to unravel the mystery surrounding the woman's death. Along the way, he faces a number of obstacles and challenges, including interference from the wealthy family of the victim and pressure from his superiors to close the case quickly.

In the end, Murdoch's persistence and ingenuity pay off, as he uncovers an unexpected villain and solves the case. The episode ends with Murdoch's colleagues at the police station congratulating him on a job well done, but with a final shot showing him staring off into the distance, clearly already thinking about his next case.

Overall, "Power" is a gripping and intriguing start to the first season of Murdoch Mysteries. It introduces viewers to the world of turn-of-the-century Toronto and the fascinating character of Detective Murdoch, who combines cutting-edge scientific methods with traditional detective work to solve crimes in a way that is both innovative and compelling. The episode also sets up a number of intriguing storylines and mysteries that are sure to keep viewers hooked throughout the rest of the season.
