Holmes & Houdini #2

Running into each other at the end of the last issue, both attempting a little late thievery, the second issue of Holmes & Houdini features a proper introduction of the pair, before each are separately nabbed by Nolan and taken to his secret lab while the evil mastermind takes the weird alien-ish artifact and pairs it with another to become an even greater threat to the world.

The Hound of the Baskervilles

Sherlock Saturday takes us back to the first (and what is widely regarded as the best) of 14 films starring Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce as Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson. The most adapted of any Holmes story, The Hound of the Baskervilles takes place mostly on the moors of Devonshire which has seen the death of Sir Charles Baskerville (Ian Maclaren) and may soon see a similar fate to his heir Sir Henry Baskerville (Richard Greene). Set during the Victorian Era, the film is notable for the look and tone of the foggy moors which provide the backdrop for the dastardly plan of murder.

Will Trent - It's the Work I Signed Up For

Spinning out of events from the season premiere, and touching on storylines began last season, both Will (Ramón Rodríguez) and Faith (Iantha Richardson) visit the prison to find the shot-caller responsible for the bombing that took the life of Cricket (Susan Kelechi Watson). The investigation is stymied by the corruption within the prison and a prison break attempt which fails, but still leaves our detectives without answers. This leads to multiple father/son scenes between Will and James Ulster (Greg Germann) including the serial killer taking enough to “save” Will (but really just help out his own position within the prison hierarchy).

Jake and the Fatman - Fatal Attraction

Flashback Friday takes us to 80s Las Angeles, a large and in charge district attorney, and his special investigator with a taste of the finer things in life. The double-length “Fatal Attraction” provides a challenge for District Attorney Jason McCabe (William Conrad) in attempting to solve the murder of an old friend he suspects was killed by his wife (Rebeccah Bush) and son (Bruce Greenwood) despite the pair’s careful work to frame a fall guy for the crime. The episode sets up McCabe’s manner of investigation, bringing out the annoying “one more thing” Columbo-style of questioning when calling on the widow and the stepson she’s sleeping with.

The Irrational - Reciprocity

The Irrational closes out its first season solving the murder of Jace (Brian King) and the true (and more than slightly convoluted) motivations behind the 20 year-old bombing and bringing Senator Sanford (James Tupper) to justice. In what appears to be the continuing small shakeup to the status quo, The Irrational doubles down on its connection to the FBI with Kylie (Travina Springer) taking a federal job and Phoebe (Molly Kunz) exits stage left for new position with less health risks. The awkwardly tacked-on epilogue also suggests Rose (Karen David) will be returning for at least part of next season.
