It’s the murders of the first episode, where a health tracking pill has been weaponized by a killer to explode inside the victim, that stand out in the first episode. While talking to the police, Wato runs into a peculiar consulting detective nicknamed Sherlock (Yûko Takeuchi) who she will latch onto in order to discover who murdered her friend.

“No. We’re much better than that. We’re two people that love each other. Always have been.”

Elementary - Whatever Remains, However Improbable TV review

The aptly-titled season finale of Elementary deals with the FBI’s growing case against Joan Watson (Lucy Liu) for the murder of Michael (Desmond Harrington). With Special Agent Mallick (Parminder Nagra) targeting Watson as the prime suspect given the growing evidence, Holmes (Jonny Lee Miller) will take steps to protect his partner at all costs (including destroying evidence and confessing to a crime he didn’t commit). The tease of Mallick as a suspect proves to be a nice use of misdirection before the reveal of the true killer, which only puts Holmes in a deeper bind given Watson’s refusal to allow Hannah (Liza J. Bennett) and her father (Aidan Quinn) to face the repercussions of the crime.

Elementary - Fit to Be Tied television review

The penultimate episode of Elementary‘s Sixth Season takes some surprising turns. The serial killer Michael (Desmond Harrington) returns to New York City and a new victim appears soon after. However, things aren’t as they appear. Despite the evidence to the contrary, and the hopes of the FBI nabbing the serial killer, Michael is actually innocent of the crime. However, while still believing the victim to belong to him, Watson (Lucy Liu) delves into Michael’s past and makes a discovery that will make her Michael’s next intended victim.

Elementary - The Geek Interpreter television review

There are several pieces in play with “The Geek Interpreter” including the return of Rich Sommer as Holmes‘ (Jonny Lee Miller) pet mathematician Harlan Emple, the kidnapping of one of Harlan’s graduate students, an elaborate scheme to profit off of land rights, murder, and Watson (Lucy Liu) sticking her nose into Sherlock Holmes’ love life. The later also allows for the return of Alia Attallah as Holmes’ friend with benefits who it seems may turn into something more (although I’m not holding my breath). And, once again, we get another mention of Moriarty. Although she won’t return this season, the final two episodes will return to focus on Holmes’ newest frenemy, I do wonder if we my get to see “the woman” when Elementary returns for its Seventh Season.
