Summary
The pathologist at a psychiatric hospital contacts his friend, Dr. Leo Graf. Patients have been 'accidently' drowning while in the bath. The police are suspicious but the hospital refuses to allow an investigation without concrete evidence. In order to get to the root of the problem, Moser poses as an alcoholic patient. He arranges to leave Rex with Stockinger but Rex has other ideas.
The good
This episode kept you guessing until the end, with plenty of suspiscious characters. Moser flirts with the female nurse, gets chummy with the other alcoholics, defends a victim of bullying and gets to drink lots of schnapps (as part of his disguise, obviously).
The bad
At least Rex didn't befriend a little kid this time, it was a mental patient instead.
