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.

Sherlock Saturday takes us back to 221 B Baker Street and the Granada Television’s faithful adaptations of the adventures of Sherlock Holmes. Adapted from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s short story, the mystery involves the theft of a near-priceless gemstone, known as the Blue Carbuncle, which was stolen from the Countess of Morcar’s (Rosalind Knight) hotel room. The police arrest a known criminal seen at the hotel near the time of the robbery, however coming into the mystery by entirely different means (involving an abandoned goose and hat stumbled upon by Inspector Peterson during the owner’s run-in with ruffians), Holmes (Jeremy Brett) finds the missing gem literally dropped into his hands and spends the rest of the episode discovering how it ended up there.

“The Great Fleece” is a an episode of reunion as having deciphered their communication network Sherlock Holmes (David Thewlis) lays a trap allowing for the return of both Dr. Watson (Seán Duggan) and Mrs. Hudson. However, the episode is also one of revelation where the true villain of the series is revealed to be Michael Wylie (Joe Klocek) whose various machinations are nothing more than theater and distraction allowing him first to rob the Bank of England and then later return the money but not before profiting greatly during its short absence. We’re even given a scene with the young man gloating over his victory to his father (Dougray Scott) that also teases to the connection to America and the Red Thread’s interest in killing Clara’s (Gia Hunter) mother.
