　　Morse is taken seriously ill at a museum reception and is hospitalized. In the hospital, Supt. Strange, visits Morse to push him to take early retirement, while Dr. Millicent 'Millie' Van Buren gives him her book on a 140 year-old court case known as the Oxford Canal Murders. The case involved the murder and rape of a young woman, Mrs Joanna Franks, traveling by canal boat from Coventry to London. The case resulted in three boatmen being sentenced to death and two of them hanged. Morse starts to read Millie's book and dreams about it. He soon has a number of problems with the case.
　　Why weren't the three men also charged with theft? Why did Mrs Franks take a boat instead of a train that was much faster and comfortable and only slightly more expensive? Why didn't she abandon the boat after she complained about lewd behavior of the crew at the shipping office in Banbury? Why did she then drink and 'socialise' with the crew? What happened to her 'carpet bag' with which she arrived on the boat but which was not mentioned in the court case, nor was it stored in the archives with her, almost empty, trunk? The trunk was marked with initials of her first husband who had died. How did it happen that her shoes were found on the boat but nobody saw her return to the boat from the forest?
　　PC Adrian Kershaw does some brilliant leg work for Morse. He studied history and has invaluable background knowledge. For instance, he mentions that the boatmen had bad reputation because they worked on Sundays and did not attend church. Later a chapel was built for them in Oxford.
　　The dead woman's clothes and the shoes found on the boat are submitted to modern forensic investigation. The result is that the shoes did not belong to the dead woman found in the water because she was much taller.The shoes were never used in the forest.
　　Only Mrs Franks' husband, Charles Franks, was called to identify the body of the dead woman. He claimed that, while her face was darkened and disfigured, he found a birth mark behind her ear. The prosecutor welcomed that information "that only a husband or a lover would know". The accused were not shown the body. The defense attorney merely claimed that the guilt of the three men was not proved. All three accused claimed to the end that they were innocent. One of them was not executed because he embraced Christianity in prison.
　　Morse instructs Kershaw to investigate if Charles Franks benefited from his wife's death and, indeed, he pocketed 300 pounds insurance money. Case closed: Charles Franks murdered a tall women and dropped her in the canal after meeting Joanna in the forest. If Joanna Franks jumped off the boat at the same time as the dead body hit the water, she swam to the bank and joined her husband. The couple changed their names, in the case of 'Charles Franks' a second time after he 'died' as Joanna's first husband. The fourth boatman, a youngster who was not charged, was probably paid by Joanna to give false testimony.
　　Morse travels to Ireland and has a grave of Joanna's first husband exhumed. The coffin contains bags of sand and some stones.

　　USA正式确定

　　锁链、鞭子以及滑稽的俏皮话！对于研究生/调教师蒂芙（佐伊·莱文饰演）和她经济拮据的同性恋好友皮特（布兰登·斯坎内尔饰演）来说，性虐恋是一门生意，而不是一种乐趣。好吧，或许有点儿乐趣。他们的职业关系重新定义了彼此之间的友谊，但更重要的是帮助他们找到自己。

　　在乔治亚州一个寂静的小镇上，一次偶然的暴力行为给 30 岁的安迪·奥利弗和她的母亲劳拉带来了意想不到的连锁事件。渴望得到答案的安迪踏上了危险的横跨美国之旅，并逐渐走进家人隐藏在内心深处的黑暗秘密。

　　故事描述一名开音像店的亿万富翁Johnny Rose（Eugene Levy）和他的肥皂剧明星妻子Moira（Catherine O’Hara）、嬉皮士儿子David（Daniel Levy）、交际花女儿Alexis（Annie Murphy）在一夜之间破产。这家人不得不离开已经习惯了的奢华生活，回到乡下去「从零开始」。好在他们还有一点私人领地：当年他们抱着好玩的心态在最偏僻的角落里买下一座几乎没有人烟的小镇（镇名即本剧标题「施米特湾」），现在这里成了他们仅存的落脚点。他们必须尽快适应新的贫穷生活，找到家庭的真谛……但这个穷乡僻壤的地方让他们感觉「限制」太多！

　　被残忍杀害的年轻女子、被虐的婴儿、被近亲性侵害的女童、家暴阴影下手足无措的妇女、失调扭曲的家庭关系、很想用心但每每力有未迨的父母、杵在社会家庭人际边缘人性的灰色地带。SVU每回总是触动那块让人无从防备的柔软地带，可爱的孩童，无辜的弱势个体(受性侵害者、同性恋、精神病患)，每个人都多少有些经验感触的亲子、家庭关系。不见得得是多复杂的剧情，像今天，忙於工作单亲母亲剧烈摇晃死自己的一岁多幼女(shake syndrome)，幼小无辜的女孩在母亲一时的暴怒下被辗压击碎，但另一方面你多了解那种拉扯在工作亲子关系中的心力交瘁，可爱时像天使哭闹起来却像恶魔一样让你抓狂的孩子，要怎么以审判指控那、为了不舍得看到无恢复希望的孩子继续受到病痛折磨而毅然决定停止呼吸器，哪怕这将使自己已因杀罪被起诉的母亲？是以就算这是再滥情的一种搬演、操控，每每总还是让观众溃不成军..
　　Law & Order: Special Victims Unit: 对于一部procedural drama来说情节及其设置是成功的关键，L&O: SVU在这方面是相当不错的，同是它也继续着L&O系列的传统：对各个主角的私生活几乎不接触。这样的好处就是可以使观众随时看任意一集而不必担心情节不连续；坏处就是观众群不断更换。Easier to attach, easier to detach. L&O: SVU最大的卖点是sex crime。

　　这部由安吉·哈蒙（Angie Harmon）与萨莎·亚历山大（Sasha Alexander）主演，讲述波士顿一名女警官与一名女法医的工作生活的TNT警匪剧在今年夏季美剧中的表现十分亮眼，收视率名列各基本收费频道回归剧集的榜首。
