Steven Parnell, who was accused of murdering a number young girls the previous summer, is killed while in prison awaiting trial. Morse had not been involved in the case as he was on leave during most of that investigation. What piques Morse's interest is that one of the victims, Karen Anderson, was never found and it is assumed that her body was dumped in a nearby lake but Parnell confessed to his priest on his deathbed that he wasn't responsible for that particular murder. When one of the witnesses in the case, George Daly, is murdered, Morse and Lewis try to find some connection to Anderson's disappearance. They also wonder why Anderson's camera - she was an avid photographer - wasn't found. What they come across is a group of middle-aged men whose hobby is taking so-called glamour photos.

Morse and Lewis investigate the death of Laura Poindexter, an American tourist who is part of an exclusive tour group visiting Oxford. Missing from her personal effects is her jewelry, including the Wolvercote Tongue which she was going to donate to the Ashmolean Museum. The pathologist determines that she died of natural causes, but Morse feels there's something not quite right. The mystery deepens when Theodore Kemp, the Ashmolean's expert on the Wolvercote Tongue, is found dead and Mrs. Poindexter's husband goes missing.

Felix McClure, an Oxford University professor, is stabbed to death in his college study. Not only was he an expert in his field but he was one of the University's key fund-raisers. The investigation focuses on Brooks, a one-time cleaner for McClure who quit his college job abruptly after a student, Mathew Rodway, jumped out of a college window high on drugs. When Morse learns that Brooks' daughter was the object of affection for both Rodway and another student, he has another possible suspect. Brooks' wife also worked for one of McClure's friends and Morse uncovers a conspiracy that he may not be able to prove.

DC品牌的线上频道「DCUniverse/DC宇宙」过去预定了13集的新剧《末日巡逻队DoomPatrol》，该剧由GregBerlanti负责﹑JeremyCarver执笔剧本，剧中讲述一群被世人遗弃的超级英雄-机甲人﹑底片人﹑橡皮少女﹑疯狂简，以及领导他们的怪才「首席」NilesCaulder博士。本剧定于美国时间2月15日上线，以下是正式短预告。《末日巡逻队》过去已在《泰坦Titans》第四集率先出场，这支团队的超级英雄虽然有不同的能力，但同时亦因能力而身心受创，他们在钢骨/Cyborg的号召﹑首席/TheChief的领导下调查奇怪现象并保护地球。TimothyDalton饰演NilesCaulder博士，被称为「首席/TheChief」的他是位下肢瘫痪的天才，聪明﹑受争议的Niles环游世界找寻需要奇迹才能治好的病患，他会毫不犹豫帮助他们，期间他还组建了英雄团队「末日巡逻队/TheDoomPatrol」。（顺带一提，在《泰坦》出场的首席是BrunoBichir饰演的。）JoivanWade饰演VictorStone，亦即是DC著名英雄钢骨/Cyborg，他是个具魅力﹑爱吐糟的半人半机械身英雄，纵使他能控制世界上每一台电脑，但他还是希望能维持与「人类」的联系。BrendanFraser及RileyShanahan饰演机甲人/Robotman，身体是生物机械，该角色设定他还是人类CliffSteele时，因为赛车事故几近死亡，因此他的大脑被转移到机械身上。BrendanFraser负责机甲人的配音及饰演闪回中的CliffSteele，而RileyShanahan则是负责机甲人的表演部份。MattBomer及MatthewZuk饰演底片人/NegativeMan，拥有放射性。MattBomer负责配音及饰演底片人闪回中，还是人类时的LarryTrainor，MatthewZuk则是穿上全身装束负责表演。AprilBowlby饰演RitaFarr，亦即橡皮少女/ElastiGirl，可伸缩肢体﹑DianeGuerrero饰演疯狂简/CrazyJane，这个英雄可谓不太靠谱，因为她患有世界上最多人格的人格分裂症，不过伴随着这64个人格的是64种超能力，所以疯狂简是末日巡逻队中最强大的战力……但亦是最不稳定的。

“末日巡逻队”里每个英雄都有着悲惨的身世和能力上的缺陷，他们在钢骨的号召﹑首席的领导下调查奇怪现象并保护地球。
