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.

Introducing them first separately before throwing the two characters together, we witness Sherlock Holmes (David Thewlis) refusing to take several cases in the notable absence of Dr. Watson. We also witness the resilient Amelia Rojas (Blu Hunt) make her way from New York to London and, through a bit of quick thinking and subterfuge, find her way to the great detective as his new maid. What Amelia is really after is for Holmes, who she believes to be her father, to help solve her mother’s murder. Also, in the coincidence that keeps them together long enough for Holmes to get a feel for the young woman, she is determined to help solve the disappearance of a wealthy young girl (Gia Hunter) she met on the ship from America (apparently one of many targeted by the mysterious “Thread”).

The past and present lies of Ingrid (Eve Harlow), including an incredibly coincidental connection to Mary (Rochelle Aytes), are brought out in the open when she’s forced to come clean after the sister (Kiera Allen) she snuck into the medical study starts to have complications. Even after bringing the case to Watson (Morris Chestnut) and the group, Ingrid attempts to initially hide what she’s done although eventually she’ll need to lay all her cards bare. We’re given extended flashbacks with younger actresses playing Ingrid and her sister (Amanda Arcuri and Beatrice Schneider) showcasing dark moments of the young woman’s past that put her onto her current path. Consequences of her current actions may make Moriarty’s (Randall Park) offer all the more appealing (which is really the point of the episode).
