The Frankenstein Murders

Available on Prime Video, Tubi, Amazon Freevee
S1 E5: Boz, having followed Marlott and his case, has published his newspaper article, The Frankenstein Murders, which causes a public outcry and infuriates Peel on the eve of the Anatomy Act. Mary Shelley visits Sir William - and challenges him about his medical practice; he threatens her with violence and she leaves. In the hospital, Flora is watched over by her doctor, Garnet Chester, who declares his love for her lifeless form, with "my little girl lost has been found." Marlott arrives, and Flora awakes, indicating that Garnet raped her. Marlott says he will expose Chester, carries Flora out and takes her home. As Parliament prepares to debate the Anatomy Act, scenes of public mayhem take place outside St Bart's. Inside, Garnet Chester has been found dead, an apparent act of suicide in the face of exposure as a rapist and possibly worse. Westminster Lobby is in a hubbub as the day of the Anatomy Act has arrived. Peel delivers a dazzling speech, watched by Marlott, Boz and the Herveys, and the Act is passed. In Marlott's lodgings that night, Flora and Nightingale announce their intention to marry but Marlott will not join them to celebrate. He has to go back to Greenwich where he found the body and where the Chesters have a house, to work out what happened there.
