I hereby welcome you to the accusing parlor to discuss... the Mystery Episode. The Mystery Episode is an episode where the characters attempt to solve a mystery. The mystery in question can be something as mundane as a stolen item to something as serious as murder. The characters will look for clues, make deductions, and finally finger a culprit. The consequences may be suitable for the crime, but not always. As you'd expect, this only applies if the characters don't solve mysteries on a regular basis, so Detective Dramas and Police Procedurals will not be accepted. Sister trope to Noir Episode and Heist Episode. Thriller on the Express occurs when this happens on a train. And no, this does not refer to episodes that are so ambiguous you can't tell what show they're from. |

Adventure Time had a few of these, including: The aptly named "Mystery Train", which involves solving murder mysteries on a train on Finn's 13th birthday. "The Creeps", which has a Clue-like set-up and centers around a haunting and murder mystery. "Ghost Princess", which centers around solving Ghost Princess's murder. "BMO Noire", which doubles as a Noir Episode, centers around BMO trying to solve the mystery of Finn's missing sock. |

Benson did this twice, both with two-part episodes: "Death in a Funny Position" has the Governor and his staff staying on board a millionaire's yacht when the millionaire is murdered. Shortly afterward, another guest is also murdered leading to an escalating investigation. The millionaire turns out to have faked his death to commit the other murder. "Reel Murder" has George Kennedy shooting a movie at the governor's mansion when the director is killed. Unfortunately, the mansion is snowbound as well, so the characters are trapped with the killer. The killer was a photographer covering the shoot who accidentally ended up on camera. He's in trouble with the mob who are said to be funding the movie. |

Community: "Basic Lupine Urology" has the study group investigate when their science project is destroyed, threatening their biology grade. Doubles as a Parody Episode in that it's shot like Law & Order. It was Todd who broke the project, but it had earlier been sabotaged by Neil. "Basic Intergluteal Numismatics" involves an investigation into a local hoodlum called the Ass Crack Bandit, whose "crime" is inserting quarters into the butt cracks of Greendale students. Also a Parody Episode, this one of Zodiac. The culprit is never revealed, although a later episode implies that it's Annie. |

Captain Planet and the Planeteers: "The Big Clam-Up" has the Planeteers go to San Francisco to find out why several locals came down with several forms of food poisoning at once. Overlaps with Noir Episode because Ma-Ti is reading a pulp detective novel and imagining himself as a detective working the case. The culprit? The locals ate at a seafood restaurant run by Verminous Skumm who has been deliberately harvesting the fish from heavily polluted waters. | |

King of the Hill: The episodes "Hanky Panky" and "High Anxiety" were about solving the death of Debbie Grund, one of Hank's coworkers and Mr. Strickland's mistress. The suspects include Mr. Strickland, Strickland's wife, and Debbie's roommate. Hank even believed he may have done the deed at one point, as he had a bad reaction to some Marijuana he smoked and thought it may have erased his memory. In the end, it's revealed that Debbie accidentally shot herself with her own gun that she was planning to use on Mr. Strickland and his wife. | |

An episode of Married... with Children saw perennial loser Al Bundy become mistaken for a famous detective as he's trying to earn extra money for the family. He winds up getting framed for the theft of a titanic diamond by a group of rich clients (and murdering their patriarch but that's not important) and goes on the lam for a bit trying to clear his name. In the end, his intricate knowledge of cheap shoes allows him to finger the real culprit and be awarded a massive reward for recovering the diamond, as well as the fawning attention of an attractive heiress. Too bad it was All Just a Dream. | |

Brooklyn Nine-Nine does this in "Dillman". Although the show is a sitcom about cops who solve crimes on a regular basis, not a lot of time is devoted to crime deductions. In this episode, however, many homages to the murder mystery genre abound when a prank gone wrong contaminates evidence on Jake's desk and nobody in the precinct admits to it, so Holt brings in a supposed Great Detective to solve the case. It's lampshaded as a Whodunnit multiple times, Jake tries to imitate Hercule Poirot's accent, and Boyle gets to do The Summation. | |

It turns out that the actual culprit is RC, and all of the missing objects are things the other Jazzberries borrowed from him and never returned. | |

Ready Jet Go!: In "Mindy's Mystery", Mindy is kept up at night by a mysterious sweet smell, and the gang has to find the source of it. It was moonflowers. In "Detective Mindy", Mitchell (who himself is a Kid Detective) has to find his mother's sunglasses after they go missing. Mindy helps him out. The Red Herring of the episode is a black hole, which Mitchell believes actually sucked up the sunglasses. The sunglasses were sucked up by the vacuum cleaner, so close enough. |

Sokka and Katara try to investigate that Aang is innocent. In the end, after Aang dresses up as Kyoshi, she manifests through his body and tells the truth about what really happened. She confesses that she did indeed kill him, as when she separated the peninsula from the mainland to protect her people, Chin the Great was standing on a collapsing rock, and as he didn't move away, he fell to his death. The villagers still consider Aang guilty and decide to punish him by boiling him in oil, until Aang saves them from the Fire Nation and turn it into a celebration day. | |

When the key to the bank goes missing, the episode becomes a parody of train mysteries as they investigate the other patrons to see who stole the key. Several patrons (including a butler) turn out to be the culprits of other crimes, but the key thief is soon revealed to be Plankton, predictably enough. |

In Chicory: A Colorful Tale, "Simmering Springs" has one where the furniture in the hotel's VIP room is stolen and Pizza has to find clues to find out what happened. It turns out the concierge Quince was indulging with copious amounts of her favorite food "squeeze" (aka fruit juice) in the room and accidentally splattered it all over the furniture. In a panic, she'd tossed all the furniture into the river to hide the evidence. The owner forgives her for this, because she's relieved it wasn't a crime, Pizza has already replaced the furniture, and the concierge is her best employee. | |

What If…? (2021): In the third episode of the first season, things seemed to be playing out as they did before, but then Tony Stark keels over dead from a supposed curative. Then Thor is killed by an arrow to the heart from Hawkeye that he says he didn't shoot. Then Hawkeye dies without a word or sound in his prison cell. Then the Hulk inflates like a balloon and goes pop. Then Black Widow is thrashed by an unseen foe and dragged away screaming. The race is on to find out who's behind the murders of the Avengers. We eventually learn that Hope van Dyne, daughter of the Ant-Man Hank Pym, died on a SHIELD mission. This drove Hank mad and so he decided to get payback by becoming the villainous Yellowjacket and destroying the Avengers Initiative and those involved to spite Nick Fury (fortunately, Steve Rogers survived due to still being on ice at the time). Too bad his actions inadvertently led to Loki having a much easier time taking over the Earth than he did in the Avengers movie. | |

"A Murder Case in the Area", one of the stories from the eighth volume of the Sword Art Online light novel, has Kirito and Asuna investigate two mysterious in-game murders. The murders seem impossible, because the victims have been killed with a safe zone where the game mechanics prevent player-killing. It turns out the "victims" have faked their deaths, to scare a third person into confessing to their role in an older murder. In the anime adaptation of Sword Art Online, the story was adapted into two episodes "Murder in the Safe Zone" and "Illusionary Avenger". | |

Parodied in Heaven's Design Team. While the titular design team are having a vacation, they discover Mercury's body lying in a pool of blood with an ashtray on his head. Jupiter quickly takes it upon himself to investigate the "crime scene", even though Mercury is not dead. He wasn't even attacked by anyone—he simply collapsed from a hangover, and Shimoda put an ashtray on his head to protect it from being bitten by animals. Jupiter invokes the whole sleuthing act to distract the crew until the Angels have finished building the vacation villa they were preparing for the team (it's supposed to be a surprise). | |
