Framed for Murder vs Murder Under the Mistletoe

[Image ID 1: Screencap from Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries episode 'Framed For Murder'. Phryne blows on the barrel of her gold pistol having just shot it. She wears a green outfit with a hat and the background is dark. /End ID]

[Image ID 2: Screencap from Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries episode 'Murder Under the Mistletoe'. Phryne and Jack are outside in the snow, trees and a large brown house in the background. Phryne wears a white scarf, a red coat with white fur trim and a white furry hat. Jack wears a brown coat, a blue scarf and a flat cap. Both are looking at something to their right.']

Our first match up is a doozy! Remember we're voting on the following criteria:

Does this plot make any sense at all?

Method of murder(s)

Absurdity of characters' behaviour (main or guest)

Wild historical/cultural/other inaccuracies

Framed for Murder

Murder Under the Mistletoe

Supporting statements:

2x9 - Framed for Murder:

Nominators say: "the suspension of disbelief necessary for this one is a LOT"

Somehow Phryne manages to shoot a strip of film AND the rope of a sandbag with a gun known for its poor accuracy.

Raymond’s movie itself is extra-dramatic and not particularly accurate to Babylon, but hey, that’s show biz

I just completely forgot who was murdering who for what reason…

2x13 - Murder Under the Mistletoe

Nominators say: "This is my favorite episode. 11/10 no complaints"

Who kills a bunch of people to the theme of a well known Christmas carol? The murderer gains +10000000 points for Being That Committed To The Bit.

Goofy sartorial choices: Phryne’s Santa Claus coat, ridiculous jumpers, ridiculous amount of fake fur on Phryne's hat.

A truly ludicrous plan from Nicholas to steal the gold.
