Detective William Murdoch returns again with an intriguing case titled The Talking Dead. Season 11 episode 9 explores a new and exciting mystery that revolves around a strange phenomenon that is happening in the city of Toronto. The episode begins with a woman named Ida Winston who is found murdered in her apartment. Ida was known for her expertise in the field of spiritualism and was a practitioner of séance, a phenomenon that allowed communication with the dead through a medium.

The circumstances of Ida's death are particularly strange, which soon leads the investigation to the realm of the paranormal. The murder scene holds some eerie clues that seem to suggest that Ida's killer might have used supernatural powers to take her life. Initially, Detective Murdoch and his team are apprehensive about investigating a murder that may be linked to the supernatural. However, they soon realize that there is more at play here than meets the eye.

As the investigation progresses, the team comes across an elusive spiritualist society that operates within Toronto, led by a charismatic medium named Celie Dale. It becomes apparent that Ida was quite popular among members of the society, and her death has sent ripples through the spiritualist community. Murdoch and his team begin to explore some outlandish theories as they interrogate suspects and gather clues, including the possibility that the dead are communicating with the living.

While the investigation is underway, Murdoch consults with the city's coroner, Dr. Julia Ogden, to help him interpret the strange findings at the crime scene. As the pair delve deeper into the case, they begin to question their own beliefs, with Dr. Ogden revealing that she has always believed in the possibility of communicating with the dead. Despite her beliefs, she tries to maintain a scientific approach to the case, but the unexplainable circumstances slowly begin to erode her skepticism.

The investigation takes a new turn when a séance organized by Celie Dale comes under the scanner. The aim of the séance was to contact the dead Ida, and as the medium goes into a trance, something unexplainable happens. When Murdoch and his team examine the recording of the séance, they hear Ida's voice saying "murderer." While the team is still trying to make sense of what happened, they discover that Celie Dale has gone missing.

The investigation becomes even more intense as the team tries to track down the medium, and they soon find themselves in a spine-chilling situation involving an old abandoned factory on the outskirts of the city. While they are unsure of what they might find in there, they deduce that the killer might have taken the medium there to gain even more power through the paranormal.

As the team reaches the factory, they are confronted with an inexplicable phenomenon that shakes them to their core. Murdoch's team struggles to comprehend and confront the supernatural forces behind the eerie happenings in the factory. The Talking Dead episode reaches a thrilling climax as the team, drawn into a high-stakes battle between life and death, races to find the killer before it is too late.
