Haunted Harmony Mysteries: Buried at C offers another mystery for music teacher turned amateur sleuth Gethsemane Brown (Tamera Mowry-Housley) to solve. Of course she’s got an unfair advantge with the help of her ghostly pal Eamon (Risteard Cooper), who can witness and overhear things she cannot, and being able to talk directly to the first murder victim in a sea captain (Gerry O’Brien) killed at sea. The mystery also involves the death of the captain’s murderer (a ghost Gethsemane doesn’t communicate with, likely because the case would be solved immediately), a long lost violin, and revenge.

Watson – Back from the Dead

  • Title: Watson – Back from the Dead

Despite the rather huge twist at the end of the series premiere, “Back From the Dead” turns out to be a rather standard episode of Watson with the clinic working on an unusual case that might involve plague buried since before the Ice Age. The difference here is the story is told through flashbacks, by Watson (Morris Chestnut) to Sherlock Holmes (Robert Carlyle).

The return of Holmes isn’t quite what I was hoping for, as it doesn’t appear the character will be incorporated into the show week to week, but at least it’s not what I was dreading as we confirm Holmes did indeed return (and it isn’t a dream or hallucination of his best friend either tied to the issues from the First Season or as a result from the latest case). Holmes is alive and well in the Watson universe, but likely only available for sweeps.

After a tip from the Mayor (Keegan-Michael Key), our intrepid podcasters head to the wilderness of Connecticut and a secret rendezvous among the trio of billionaire suspects they still aren’t allowed to podcast about. While not in any real danger, the settings (including the billionaires all playing classic board games in an empty mansion) certainly raises the creep factor.

After the season premiere brought the team back together, “Who by Fire” offers a common theme about members of the team taking chances perhaps the shouldn’t. The second episode takes a longer look at the aftereffects of Lala‘s (Mariel Molino) car accident on both her and others while providing a case for a dead surfer on the Naval beach. Along with unexpectedly bringing back Flaco Navarro (Scotty Tovar) who has a dangerous deal for Lala, the episode is also built around Gibbs‘ (Austin Stowell) towards Franks (Kyle Schmid) for not allowing him to conduct an interrogation and eventually deciding to take matters into his own hands.

The death of a popstar (MacKenzie Porter) staying at one of Phyllis’ (Fiona Vroom) rental properties provides the murder of the week for Karl (Rossif Sutherland) to solve while Cassandra (Kristin Kreuk) attempts to comfort her stressed out best-friend who appears to be on the path to a nervous breakdown. Given both have their hands full, we don’t see much of the couple together other than a quick check-in here and there as he heads out to the crime scene and she to a town council meeting.
