Watson – Livvy Sees the Doctor

  • Title: Watson – Livvy Sees the Doctor
  • IMDb: link

After being ignored for several months, a desperate father (Jon Beavers) in a bomb vest takes the clinic hostage forcing them to properly diagnose and save his daughter Livvy (Lucy Turnbull). While the ticking bomb offers some extra motivation, in the end it’s simply another case for the doctors to save. The episode is of note for showing off the selfishness of Beck (Noah Mills) who, while visiting the clinic nearly gets them all killed. That, somehow, only makes Ingrid (Eve Harlow) only hornier for her fellow sociopath pushing her further down a dangerous road.

Murder Mystery Monday takes us back to the television detective who always had one more thing to ask. The first episode of Columbo to air (outside of the two pilots which have notable differences to the ongoing series of TV-movies), hits the ground running with most of the staples of the show including showing us the murder by the guest-star Jack Cassidy, as one-half of a writing team who kills off his partner (Martin Milner). Believing he has gotten away with the perfect murder, our killer isn’t ready for the rumpled detective to take the scene with a series of innocuous questions eventually finding the evidence to get his man.
