It’s hard to tell whether our heroes are in better or worse shape after the events of “A Bout, A Girl.” The arrival of Qreshi onboard the space prison for a prisoner super-brawl known as Bellaxion gives Dutch (Hannah John-Kamen) a plan of escape.

After seven years on CBS, Elementary concludes with a series finale that focuses not on a case to solve but on the core relationship of the show’s two primary characters. Set years after “Reichenbach Falls,” with Odin Reichenbach (James Frain) now sentenced to hundreds of years behind bars, Watson (Lucy Liu) brings back her partner who has traveled the globe in recent years solving crimes under a slew of different pseudonyms while the world has believed Sherlock (Jonny Lee Miller) to be dead. Initially it appears Holmes’ old flame has lured him out of hiding, but further investigation reveals that Jamie Moriarty (who sadly doesn’t make an appearance here) has known about Holmes’ survival for some time.
