The second episode of the series begins Amelia Rojas’ (Blu Hunt) apprenticeship under Sherlock Holmes (David Thewlis). While carrying out Holmes’ orders in snooping at the Ambassador’s home and looking for the horses used in the abduction, Amelia can’t ever grasp the last order Holmes gives in “do nothing more.” While her ingenuity proves fruitful, and Clara Anderson (Gia Hunter) is found, her choice to rely on the police rather than bring in Holmes at a crucial moment allows for the mysterious Thread to make off with their other hostages. One mystery is solved, but the larger one (which continues to shackle Holmes’ ability to work out in the open) continues.

Watson – The Man with the Alien Hand

For a show still trying to figure out what exactly it is, “The Man with the Alien Hand” is an interesting episode that opens the door, should the writers choose, to offer episodes more about mystery and detection outside of medical diagnoses. The episode starts much like any other with a patient with an unusual condition involving not having control of one of his hands. While helping him, Watson (Morris Chestnut) and the team also give their patient some credibility when he uses his condition to murder his brother and claim a higher percentage of his inheritance. While there still are medical aspects to the case, “The Man with the Alien Hand” becomes more about proving a criminal’s guilt than solving the patient’s condition.

After a (bit too prolonged) trip to Los Angeles to set up the gun buy and trap the bad guys, the final two episodes of the series push Duffy (Sonya Cassidy) to bring the case to the ATF over  Reacher‘s (Alan Ritchson) objections. They quickly bench the group, set up a sting for the gun sale, and walk right into a trap set by Xavier Quinn (Brian Tee). Reacher manages to survive the blood bath, but the ATF is going to need some new guys. With the guard rails off again, Reacher turns his attention back on the family compound and revenge.

Titans #22

/ / Comics

A new arc begins here beginning with a flashback to Absolute Power and explaining it was Terra who restored and freed Deathstroke during Amanda Waller‘s reign of tyranny. Jumping forward, we don’t get a confrontation between the Titans and their deadliest foe, instead we get the group (with Vanadia) looking over a crime scene where Nightwing reconstructs the events of a prison break (“Boy-Wondering” as Starfire calls it) providing the action of the issue in another series of flashbacks.
