If you recall, this is the episode about rowing, some of which was shot over on Toronto Island on a very hot and humid day. It's considered one of the better episodes of the series by many, we agree. Here's the blurb
Still Waters
The body of Richard Hartley, the newest member of a prestigious men’s rowing team, is found washed up on a beach after a night of drinking with his teammates. According to his fiancée, Minerva Fairchild, Hartley had just replaced the team’s top rower Horace Briggs, who admits he’d been disappointed when he was bumped from the team – but not enough to kill. As the evidence mounts, it seems increasingly apparent that Hartley was killed in an initiation hazing gone wrong. Sure enough, the team’s coach admits that Hartley would have cost them a spot at the Olympics, so he instructed the boys to put him out of action so they could bring Briggs back. When things got rough, Hartley panicked and ran into the lake – but he was a strong swimmer; they never dreamed he’d drown. Still no closer to the truth, Murdoch orders a test on the water in Hartley’s lungs – and that’s when the investigation finally blows wide open.

I was a bit confused about the refferences to drinking cofffe in the most recent rowing episode.
For Murdoch and his sidekick to not know about coffee seems a bit absurd. The British and Canadians have been drinking it for centuries so why was it such a strange drink for them? Lloyds of London has been serving coffee since 1688.
True we tend to drink more tea but surely Murdoch would have tried it or at least known about it.
Of course we are talking Toronto here. They are a bit backwards there. They did take a long time to learn what a "Double-double" from Hamilton is. :-)))))
I will let the writers read your post without me commenting on it.
Toronto was a backward place which in the scriptwriters minds they wanted to play up.
