Framing the Guilty Party | |
| Miss Scarlet & The Duke / int_216dab44 | comment |
Framing the Guilty Party: By accident. An episode in season 2 has Eliza being arrested for breaking in the the city mortuary and stealing some files, as her mother's ring was found at the scene of the crime. She had snuck into the mortuary (when the ring had slipped off her finger), but it was earlier in the day and she didn't break in—she had earlier duplicated the key to the mortuary—nor had she stolen any files, merely looked at some related to her cases and then put them back. | |

Nepotism | |
| Miss Scarlet & The Duke / int_22a60f6a | comment |
Nepotism: Detective Fitzroy only made it to the rank of detective because his father is the Police Commissioner and forced both Scotland Yard and Fitzroy into accepting it, despite Fitzroy's lack of training. That said, Fitzroy is keen to prove himself once the Duke takes him under his wing and proves he has the mettle to be a good detective in his own right. | |

Workaholic: Eliza is accused of being this by the Duke when then discovered that the missing magician they were investigating died by suicide because he was retiring and found life without his job horrendous. As you can imagine, she does not appreciate the comment. | |

Artistic License – History | |
| Miss Scarlet & The Duke / int_56515a39 | comment |
Artistic License – History: Despite being set in the Victorian era, there are a lot of anachronisms. One of the most amusing is a reversal of the show's premise. In fact, in Victorian England, there were quite a number of female private detectives. By 1858, there was an entire profession of them opening up due to the Matrimonial Causes Act resulting in many job opportunities for female investigators (primarily of men for adultery). Ms. Scarlet investigating murders would have been strange but not the idea of a lady detective at all. | |

Brandishment Bluff: When Eliza and Will are cornered by a masked criminal at the end of season 1, Eliza threatens the man with a gun at close range. The criminal chooses to retreat over trying to close the distance and take out Eliza. The gun, however, ran out of bullets. | |

The Unfair Sex | |
| Miss Scarlet & The Duke / int_6ae4dedd | comment |
The Unfair Sex: Eliza is prone to openly breaking the law and engaging in Cowboy Cop activities that would land her in jail if not for the fact she often is treated as harmless by the police, more a nuisiance than an actual criminal. | |

Because You Were Nice to Me | |
| Miss Scarlet & The Duke / int_738d1a0f | comment |
Because You Were Nice to Me: In season 2, William is made to take the police commissioner's well-meaning but untalented son under his wing, and takes the role of mentor seriously despite his initial misgivings. Fitzroy ultimately saves William's job by organizing the detective squad to stand up to his father: they threaten a mass resignation if the PC tries to retaliate against William when Fitzroy is injured in the line of duty, forcing him to back down. | |

Forgiveness | |
| Miss Scarlet & The Duke / int_b75b35ac | comment |
Forgiveness: Played with in season 3 "The Heir", when Eliza's client fakes his own kidnapping to extort some money over taking a surprise inheritance which he knew existed for years but avoided because of debts he would have to pay, Eliza is one of the people he defrauded by paying part of her fee with counterfeit bills the police provided her. The other two are either dead or the one who killed the other, so Eliza chooses not to press charges. When seeing the heir at his home, she spots an ornate silver frame with a picture of the heir's wedding on the wall and finds a hidden photo behind. The photo is of the heir's deceased mother and these two things are what were taken from the scene of the man's father's murder years ago. Eliza cannot condone this and regretfully calls the police. | |

Calling the Old Man Out | |
| Miss Scarlet & The Duke / int_e52a0409 | comment |
Calling the Old Man Out: At the end of Series 2, Fitzroy gets himself into the station in time to deal with his father, the Chief of Police, when the man is going to have William punished for Fitzroy getting injured on the job. Fitzroy explains that Will has been the best superior he has ever had and he will not stand for the man to be unjustly punished. When his father isn't dissuaded by Fitzroy threatening to resign, Fitzroy reveals that he has already spoken with a majority of the station's detectives and they will all resign in protest over this action. Both the loss of manpower and the inquiry from the news as to why the chief's son is leading this action would destroy his father's political career. The chief backs down from his threats. | |
