Murdoch's blowing it, big time!

This episode started off interestingly enough, but it started to drag about halfway through. The primary story involving the librarian is a fairly decent one, and if they had kept to that one, this would have been a much stronger episode.
For some reason, however, the writers decide to jump back and forth to an anvil-dropping secondary story involving Dr. Ogden that has nothing whatsoever to do with the primary story. There is also a tertiary story involving a baseball game rivalry between police stations.
All in all, it's too much for a single episode, which is why it's dragged out over two.
If the librarian story had been on its own with the baseball game as a secondary, the episode would have been maybe a 7/10. Anna, Murdoch's brief flame from his trip to England, shows up again and is repeatedly told that she is in danger, yet she continues to place herself in danger and get in the way.
The jumps to the secondary story are very jarring and the story is very uninteresting. Dr. Ogden has been teaching contraception at her private practice, gets arrested for it, and insists on making a big issue out of it, with the help of Dr. Grace and in opposition to Darcy's wishes. That's pretty much it, as far as this episode goes.
Seasons 4 and 5 have been pretty strong thus far, but this pair of episodes break the momentum.

I don't need teaching on birth control

This is the story of a librarian who disappears after someone stays hidden in the library at closing time and attacks her. She missed her chorus practice at the church and the pastor found this unusual.
A woman named Hannah that Murdoch whisks out of the city in an earlier episode because she might be targeted by "The Black Hand" comes back to work in the library under a different name. This worries Murdoch.
Later a scene is shown with Dr Odgen teaching birth control to a group of women.
I did not watch this episode to learn about birth control I don't need this info in a murder mystery series so I stopped watching the episode.
