While last season’s finale teased for a moment that Olympia (Skye P. Marshall) and Matty (Kathy Bates) would be on the same page, the late twist of Julian‘s (Jason Ritter) involvement in the Wellbrexa cover-up left Olympia with no good options. The first two episodes of Season Two have both Matty and Olympia attempting to protect their friendship while also maneuvering behind each other’s backs as Matty pushes to reveal the evidence to the New York Times and Olympia keeps stalling trying to get Matty to go after Senior (Beau Bridges) who they both know was the one behind what happened.

Sherlock Saturday takes us back to 221 B Baker Street and the Granada Television’s faithful adaptations of the adventures of Sherlock Holmes.

The police arrest a known criminal seen at the hotel near the time of the robbery, however coming into the mystery by entirely different means (involving an abandoned goose and hat stumbled upon by Inspector Peterson during the owner’s run-in with ruffians), Holmes (Jeremy Brett) finds the missing gem literally dropped into his hands and spends the rest of the episode discovering how it ended up there.
