“Never Been CRISPR’d” offers the return of Hobie McSorley (Nat Faxon) whose genetic manipulation puts the life of his girlfriend Wendy (Jessica Miesel) in danger. Rather than looking for a disease, the team looks for the cause and trigger to Wendy’d sickness and how both her new and previous genetic mamipulation threaten her life.

After being ignored for several months, a desperate father (Jon Beavers) in a bomb vest takes the clinic hostage forcing them to properly diagnose and save his daughter Livvy (Lucy Turnbull). While the ticking bomb offers some extra motivation, in the end it’s simply another case for the doctors to save. The episode is of note for showing off the selfishness of Beck (Noah Mills) who, while visiting the clinic nearly gets them all killed. That, somehow, only makes Ingrid (Eve Harlow) only hornier for her fellow sociopath pushing her further down a dangerous road.

In an episode that keeps several plates spinning simultaneously, “Lucky” features the return of Sherlock Holmes (Robert Carlyle) far sooner than I expected, but again only for a single episode. Spending a bit of time poking around Pittsburgh, Holmes stays with Watson (Morris Chestnut) and offers some advice on the doctor’s latest case involving a man in a coma ward suffering from undiagnosed locked-in syndrome who has witnessed multiple murders by an angel of death over the years. Along with helping the patient, Watson and the team also work to prove there is someone killing end-of-life patients and identifying her before she murders again.

Despite the rather huge twist at the end of the series premiere, “Back From the Dead” turns out to be a rather standard episode of Watson with the clinic working on an unusual case that might involve plague buried since before the Ice Age. The difference here is the story is told through flashbacks, by Watson (Morris Chestnut) to Sherlock Holmes (Robert Carlyle).
The return of Holmes isn’t quite what I was hoping for, as it doesn’t appear the character will be incorporated into the show week to week, but at least it’s not what I was dreading as we confirm Holmes did indeed return (and it isn’t a dream or hallucination of his best friend either tied to the issues from the First Season or as a result from the latest case). Holmes is alive and well in the Watson universe, but likely only available for sweeps.

Picking up a few months after the events of the Season One finale, Watson returns with another case of the week while also teasing the possible return of Dr. Ingrid Derian (Eve Harlow) to the team as Watson (Morris Chestnut) hasn’t found a suitable replacement. However, it’s the final scene of the episode that provides the most intriguing change to the show with the apparent return of Sherlock Holmes (Robert Carlyle) potentially disrupting the life Watson has finally been able to carve out for himself after the loss of his friend. As to what Holmes’ return means, in both the short and long term, we’ll just have to wait and see.
