As with last week’s episode, “Witch Hunt” is split equally into current events in Storybrooke and those from one-year ago following the actions of the characters returned to the Enchanted Forest.

Hawaii Five-0 - Ma lalo o ka 'ili

What appears to be a simple murder-kidnapping becomes far more interesting as Five-0 discovers the young man (Booboo Stewart) with a criminal record who committed the crimes is actually the young woman’s (Moanie Hara) boyfriend who she is with of her own free will.

Elementary - The Hound of the Cancer Cells

Once you get past the horrific title, “The Hound of the Cancer Cells” (really?) is another solid mystery that also completes an ongoing storyline as Marcus Bell (Jon Michael Hill) makes it all the back to full-time detective from the shooting which sidelined him for months. While taking a look at the apparent suicide of a medical researcher on the cusp of breakthrough cancer research, Sherlock Holmes (Jonny Lee Miller) discovers some discrepancies that lead him to believe the man was murdered. At first Holmes and Watson (Lucy Liu) focus on the company’s competitors and an anonymous online zealot who debunked the man’s work as fraud. However, the truth is far more complicated.
