Complications in the case involve a patient who doesn’t want Watson to treat him and the patient disappearing from his hospital room during one of his hallucinations believing he is still in Afghanistan. The thread also ties into the relationship between Watson and Mary (Rochelle Aytes) revealing that the start of the marital troubles came from Watson’s return after the traumatic events which he could never forgive himself for.
