Elementary	comment	Elementary is an American television series that premiered on CBS in 2012 and ran for seven seasons. It presents a contemporary update of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes detective stories set in New York City. It stars Jonny Lee Miller as Sherlock Holmes and Lucy Liu as Joan Watson.This version of Holmes was a consultant for Scotland Yard; he became a drug addict following a traumatic loss, then "hit bottom" and ended up in rehabilitation. Joan Watson has been hired by Holmes' father Morland to be his sober companion, to help him adjust from rehab back to everyday life.Holmes has come up with an interesting post-rehab regimen to keep himself busy — he's going to resume his role as a consultant, this time for the New York police. Watson finds herself coming along for the ride, eventually becoming Holmes' full-fledged partner and a detective in her own right. They are usually assisted by Captain Thomas Gregson (Aidan Quinn) and Detective Marcus Bell (Jon Michael Hill).This page contains unmarked spoilers. You Have Been Warned.

Elementary / int_1086f287	comment	Sure, Let's Go with That: Lestrade accuses Sherlock of mucking around with the case files of muggings in order to make it easier for Lestrade to solve. Sherlock does this trope, because Lestrade is clearly pleased to have 'caught' Sherlock, and Lestrade's spent weeks moping, so Sherlock doesn't want to let him down.

She'd rather it didn't exist, and hopes Sherlock doesn't find out. Turns out he doesn't care, and he informs her that he's already been the inspiration for several fictional characters across multiple media.

Elementary / int_10dcbe05	comment	Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: Holmes and Watson's relationship in the series grows into a close friendship and it's evident that they care for each other. Holmes even panics at one moment when he thinks Watson's been shot. When Joan is kidnapped and held hostage due to Mycroft's actions in Paint it Black, Sherlock is notably distraught and even states that if Joan were to be killed, he would murder Mycroft. By this point in the series, Joan and Sherlock's friendship is very important to both of them.

Lestrade appeared far more often than Gregson in the original works, but both serve identical roles — as is now the case for Elementary and Sherlock.)

So he introduces her as his personal valet and she immediately loathes it. It's become a Running Gag for him to introduce her in various ways. It's interesting to watch the progression of these as the show goes on. As Holmes starts to trust and respect Watson more, he introduces her as more polite things, like "my associate." Unless he's angry with her, in which case he'll introduce her as something demeaning or embarrassing. By season 2 he's introducing her as "the foremost expert in home security in the United States".

Elementary / int_1616e13	type	Ripped from the Headlines
Elementary / int_1616e13	comment	Ripped from the Headlines: "Lesser Evils" is inspired by the Kristen Gilbert murders, a nurse who killed four patients (and was suspected of killing eighty others) with epinephrine at the Veteran's Administration hospital in Northampton, Massachusetts in the early 1990s. There's even a drug-addict coworker as a Red Herring. "Step Nine" has a killer commit murder with a plastic gun made from a 3D printer and then destroy the gun to hide the evidence. The technology to make such a gun was less than a year old at the time of airing. "We Are Everyone" was obviously inspired by the Edward Snowden scandal. The Snowden Expy is helped by a Julian Assange-type character (sans the rape allegations). It should be noted that the Snowden expy is portrayed totally unsympathetically, being willing to kill and endanger lives rather than face the legal repercussions of his leaking national security secrets (and it is implied that he did it just to get attention). "The Five Orange Pipz" episode involves toy beads that that contain substance that metabolises into potentially lethal GHB when swallowed due to the manufacturer substituting the substance for the more expensive non-poisonous substance. This is a nod to a similar problem with Bindeez toys. "One Watson, One Holmes" involves a schism in Everyone, which is transparently based on Anonymous. A few months earlier, shortly before the start of the season, there was a schism on 4chan, with many users migrating to 8chan. Part of "The Games Underfoot" episode is people searching for a cache of videogames that the manufacturer buried during The '80s because of the negative reception, which is a reference to thousands of copies of the infamously bad E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial licensed game that Atari buried in a trash dump during the The Great Video Game Crash of 1983 and its rediscovery that was chronicled by the Atari Game Over documentary. "Crowned Clown, Downtown Brown" featured creepy clown sightings similar to the ones prevalent in September/October 2016. The solution of "The Art of Sleights and Deception" turns out to revolve around an anatomy textbook that was written and illustrated by a Third Reich-era German doctor who dissected the bodies of Holocaust victims to create it. This is inspired by the real-world controversy relating to the ''Topographische Anatomie des Menschen'' by Eduard Pernkopf. "Breathe" has a pharmacuetical executive who jacks up the price on medications to the disgust of virtually everyone, based on Martin Shkreli. The "ghost of Brooklyn" debacle in the episode "On the Scent", in which a number of unrelated murders are mistakenly believed to be by a serial killer due to accidental contamination of forensic kits with the DNA of a worker at the manufacturing plant, is inspired by the real-world German case of the "Phantom of Heilbronn".

The scene is from the beginning of the episode, and is never mentioned again; it turns out that Holmes is just practicing how to fake his own death. The ad for "A Stitch in Time" concentrates on Holmes and Watson investigating an allegedly Haunted House, a plot thread that's discarded by the end of the first act.

In Snow Angels, Holmes and Watson are tracking an ambulance full of stolen paper money. Since power is down, Holmes has gone old school with a paper map; he uses Clyde the Tortoise with a cross taped to his back as a stand-in for the ambulance. While the protagonists discuss the case, Clyde is busy stuffing himself with lettuce.note Don't Explain the Joke: The pun may not make sense to those unfamiliar with U.S. currency, which (unlike the colorful bills found in other countries) is dichromatic. The backs of the bills are printed with green ink, thus "greenbacks", or "lettuce." Quite a slow-burn one here; in the 14th episode of Season 3, "The Female of the Species" an officer of the NYPD whose name was established in the first season is sleeping on Sherlock's couch. He is woken by an old fashioned mechanical alarm-clock placed next to a sign reading 'Detective Bell'. How does Alistair describe Sherlock's brain when he was mourning Irene? Addled.

In the opening to "The Rat Race" Watson complains to Holmes that she can't read his texts because he uses too many abbreviations. Holmes is exuberant over texting slang, calling it English evolving for greater efficiency. After the Killer of the Week kidnaps Sherlock, she sends a text from his phone so Watson won't worry. Watson realizes it's not from Sherlock because it didn't read "like a teenager on a sugar high." In "The Deductionist", Holmes gives Watson a brief rundown of the continuity errors in the porno her sub-letter made. Watson later uses one of those errors to prove that her landlord was in on it. Angus, in "A Giant Gun, Filled with Drugs". The Osmia avosetta introduced in "Possibility Two" and used in "Heroine". Not exactly an object, but Irene's birthmarks in "The Woman".

Later, Watson threatens that if he falls asleep during his NA group session, she'll do the same to him. Second, in "Details": Holmes is trying to get Watson to take up self-defense out of concern for her safety. He goes about trying to prove the need for this in his own unique way: He beans her in the back of the head with a tennis ball and points out that it "could have been a knife." At the end of the episode, Watson retaliates by beaning him in the face with a basketball. Third, in "DÃ©jÃ Vu All Over Again": She outlines her theory of the murder and the suspect calls her "a woman with a crazy story." Gregson counters by pointing out they have proof that supports what Watson is saying, prompting this line: In "Risk Management", Sherlock says that the easiest way to track someone is through their phone. At the end of the episode, Sherlock goes to an address Moriarty sent him, while lying to Joan about his intents. He gets out of the taxi and finds her waiting for him. A non-Watson example occurs at the beginning of "Solve For X." A mugger punches out his victim when he says, "Please, I don't want any trouble." Said mugger stumbles onto a murder while running away, then says the same thing to the murderer before getting two in the chest for his trouble.

In "The Rat Race", Sherlock orders an expensive bottle of wine at a restaurant and has it sent to a couple at another table where the man is about to propose. If you keep watching over his shoulder, you can see the proposal before we refocus on them when she shouts "Yes!" Funny foreground event in "The Long Fuse": Detective Bell has been questioning the Earth Liberation Militia guy they think planted the four-year-old bomb, when without warning Holmes bursts in and begins lecturing them both about why this guy couldn't be the bomber. Bell sits in the foreground to Holmes' right, staring straight off into space with a look of "oh for @*$#'s sake" on his face, for fifteen whole seconds. In "Snow Angels", Sherlock bursts into Joan's room and demands that she get changed. Since this is Sherlock, Joan is forced to change her clothes under her blankets and sheets while Sherlock is ranting in the foreground. In "Details", Holmes was asking Bell how many times he and an officer to whom he was just talking had sex. Cue Joan rolling her eyes and moaning in the background. In "A Landmark Story", Watson is taking care of the laundry in her room, we see an old air conditioner falling past her window.

Sherlock figures it out pretty quickly, but soon regrets exposing the plot, because the man she framed was a sadistic serial killer. A first-season episode, "You Do It to Yourself", featured a professor shot dead in front of witnesses, in his eyes — which looked like a vicious revenge killing. The truth is, he hired his own hitman after being diagnosed with an incurable and fatal illness, whose first symptom manifests in the eyes — and out of spite, he arranged things so that evidence would point to his Teacher's Assistant (and his wife's lover) hiring the hitman.

Elementary / int_3322dd48	type	Hollywood Law
Elementary / int_3322dd48	comment	Hollywood Law: A pretty severe one, given the premise of the show. Sherlock and Joan are often shown questioning witnesses/suspects without police presence or permission, entering and searching private property on their own without a search warrant, plus sometimes Sherlock collects evidence from crime scenes for his own personal use. It's difficult to understate what a huge no-no this is in criminal investigations. In the real world the defense attorneys for the criminals Sherlock captures would have a field day with this, these criminals would have all had mistrials, and Sherlock himself would be under arrest, not to mention no longer consulting with police. Eventually this comes up and is very, very thinly masked with Blatant Lies by Sherlock (e.g. claiming that locked doors were "just open"). In "Art Imitates Art" an artist creates images using photos taken off social media without permission. No one mentions the fact that the owners (many of whom are very angry about this) could have him charged with copyright violation and the photos taken down. A Russian says he's uncowed by police threats of sending him home to where he's wanted if he doesn't cooperate, as the US doesn't have any extradition treaty with Russia. However, the police fail to point out that extradition or not, they could still turn him over to Russia. The extradition treaty simply formalizes this, obligating one country to turn over wanted fugitives if the other goes through proper procedures. In "Be My Guest" Sherlock goes after a man holding a woman captive without telling the police, saying they wouldn't have enough evidence to get a warrant. Which is not true, since he read the man's lips showing he was conspiring to have her murdered, and saw a photo of her on his phone with a chain around her neck. Based on his testimony, that would be more than enough for a warrant, which Sherlock being not only a highly knowledgeable genius but having worked with the police for years, should know by now. â€œUp to Heaven, Down to Hellâ€� features an interesting example of this when Holmes and Watson find the incriminating evidence to identify the killer through illegal methods but are able to get â€˜legalâ€™ permission later. Essentially, a major development project was discovered to have a construction flaw, so the architect killed two people to prevent this knowledge being made public and prevent the developer from acquiring the necessary air rights so that he would be â€˜forcedâ€™ to adjust his plans for a smaller building. Holmes is able to find the evidence of the design flaw by stealing the plans from the property developerâ€™s office, but subsequently contacts the developer to ask the man to claim that he gave Holmes permission to look at those plans, Holmes arguing that the other man knows heâ€™s good enough to find other incriminating evidence and this way the developer comes out looking like the good guy.

Any viewer who knows anything about Sherlock Holmes would naturally assume that the "M" stands for "Moriarty". It's actually for Moran, The Dragon of Moriarty. And then subverted because Moran's murders were contracted kills on Moriarty's orders, while Moriarty himself is apparently the one who killed Irene Adler, meaning that, in a sense, Moriarty really is M. And then comes The Reveal in "Heroine" when we learn that Irene Adler is alive and is Moriarty.

Elementary / int_38d02d44	comment	Batman Gambit: "Heroine": The main plan of Moriarty, where she manipulates an ex-Greek smuggler turned businessman Christos Theophilus by kidnapping his daughter to goad him into assassinating a New York-based Macedonian surgeon named Andrej Bacara and his wife. With the help of the doctor's bodyguard/mole, the assassination is done so that initial reports suggested that it was done in the name of Greek ultra-nationalism, which would lead to far more bitter diplomatic relations between Greece and Macedonia in the latter's bid to join the European Union, since Bacara was the son of Macedonia's prime minister. The plan Joan uses to capture Moriarty. Joan knows that Moriarty will go after Sherlock if anything happens to him and crafts the overdose story, deducing all of Moriarty's moves without her noticing. It works. In "Blood Is Thicker" Mycroft attempts one on Sherlock to induce him to return to London by saying that their father has threatened to cut him off. He knows that Sherlock will never directly contact their father and so will never discover the deception. Mycroft pulls a much better one on everyone in "The Man with the Twisted Lip" and "Paint it Black": cultivating an Upper-Class Twit persona and allowing Le Milieu to use Diogenes as a base in the States, utilizing Joan as a hostage and Sherlock's deductive powers to find a highly-sought after list of Swiss bank customers, double-crossing Sherlock before he can bring the NYPD in and going alone to make the exchange for Joan, and finally, when Le Milieu is ready to kill him and Joan, calling in an MI6 sniper team to take out Le Milieu. In "Bella", Sherlock decides to blackmail Isaac Pike by threatening to send his brother to jail for life if he doesn't turn himself in. Said brother is a drug addict. Isaac reasons that Sherlock would not want to deny another addict a chance at redemption, and will not go through with the threat. He does not turn himself in. Whether the gambit worked is never shown.

Elementary / int_3c598f56	comment	Conflict Ball: One of the major problems of Season 2. To create conflict between Holmes and Watson, the writers crafted ridiculous plotlines using Retcon, ignoring the evolution of the characters in the previous season and using sex as a plot generator. A source for some Broken Base argument, too. Sherlock and Joan's season two relationship: a necessary development or suffering from completely unnecessary Conflict Ball? It was almost universally regarded that Joan frequently calling Sherlock out on his faults in season one was a good thing, humanizing Sherlock and not letting him get away with breaking the rules and acting antisocial. In season two, on the other hand, Sherlock is constantly being rebuked by Joan for his behavior, even in situations where Joan would usually use Tough Love and reasoning instead of just scolding him. At worst, this made Joan into an unintentional Creator's Pet, as she is almost constantly in the right and never gets the same treatment that Sherlock does. In the first season, Sherlock and Joan were a team and depended on the support of one another, and the constant presence of a Conflict Ball in season two seemed almost a regression in their characterization from their partnership in the previous season. On the other hand, other fans viewed this conflict as necessary, since Joan needed a reason to leave the brownstone, especially since there doesn't appear to be a Mark Morstan what with her already having an ex with the surname.

Bell suffers a career-threatening injury as a result and [temporarily] ends his friendship with Sherlock, and Holmes are Watson are dragged before a committee to answer for their less-than-legal methods that led to said injury. The season 3 episode "The Adventure of the Nutmeg Concoction" features Sherlock attempting to lure a criminal who disposes of dead bodies for hire by posting photos of a supposedly murdered Kitty to the dark web. He ends up being arrested by police running a sting operation for people that would make such enquiries (resulting in some uncharacteristic embarrassment, much to Watson's amusement). In Season 5, Sherlock gets a Tap on the Head. In Season 6, he suffers from post-concussion syndrome, which threatens to end his detective career. And worse.

In "Flight Risk" Sherlock deduces that one of the plane crash victims was dead before the plane crashed. It turns out that he stumbled upon the plane being sabotaged, so the villain killed him and stowed his corpse onboard. In "A Landmark Story" Sherlock tangles with contract killer Daniel Gottlieb, who specializes in this. He kills one guy by tracking his daily routine and then making it look like a window air conditioner broke loose and fell on his head, and is about to provoke a swarm of Africanized honey bees to attack a jogger when Sherlock catches him refilling their food supply. The assassin from "The Cost of Doing Business" uses a variation as his modus operandi. He kills his intended victim in a public place with a sniper rifle, then shoots whoever else is around to simulate a random killing spree. The intent is to hide the motive for the intended victim's death.

This includes Joan telling Sherlock to let Kitty have space so Kitty can have more fun, both of them encouraging Kitty to go to therapy, and Sherlock giving her chores and scolding her when she screws up, but never failing to express his pride when she does really well. There are also a couple hilarious moments when Sherlock and Joan begin to argue and ask Kitty to weigh in, only for Kitty to say, essentially, "Leave me out of this!" (Any child of divorce can probably relate.) They both have a protective streak when it comes to Kitty as well — both are deeply concerned with her emotional state and fear her getting hurt again, but it manifests in wildly contrasting ways. Kitty, for her part, doesn't seem to mind it, even admitting to Sherlock that it makes her "feel very loved." Sherlock even lampshades his and Joan's status as this; when asking Joan to help him train Kitty, his reasoning is, basically, "She needs a father and a mother," specifically pointing out that Joan's more nurturing and emotional than him. Joan points out that they're not Kitty's parents... but it doesn't stop her from agreeing to help.

Moriarty qualifies as one. Even Holmes calls her a nemesis. As of 3x14, "The Female of the Species", Moriarty now considers Joan one; and murders someone who tries to kill her.

After seducing Sherlock, faking her own death, destroying his life and sanity, leading him to drug addiction, going back to his life pretending to be mentally ill and filling his heart with guilt, she tried to set him apart from Watson, made threats to his emotional health, and in the end, after thinking he had overdosed tried to manipulate him into her clutches again. Gareth Lestrade. Took credit for Sherlock's work for years, then ignored all Sherlock's attempts to help him and in the end of "Step Nine" took advantage of Sherlock's wit again. Detective Gerry Coventry from "On the Line". He resents Holmes' Brutal Honesty when they're publicly arguing about Lucas Bundsch's guilt (although Holmes was right to criticize him)—so much so that he gives Holmes and Watson's address to Bundsch, who promptly tries to intimidate them. (Hey, Bundsch was exonerated—even though Holmes and Watson think he's a Serial Killer—so no harm done, right?) Later, Gregson finds Coventry Drowning His Sorrows and gives him a What the Hell, Hero? speech.

Even when a case starts with a lesser crime, it usually escalates in short order. Averted in "A Giant Gun, Filled With Drugs" where Sherlock investigates a kidnapping with ransom demand. It's one of the few episodes where Everybody Lives, although the kidnapped child is in real and imminent danger. In "Dead Man's Switch", Sherlock investigates a blackmailer, which he says are worse than murderers in some respect. A short time later, Sherlock witnesses said blackmailer being murdered and moves to investigate that as well. In "Bella", Sherlock reluctantly takes a case involving theft of an artificial intelligence program, which he is not convinced passes the Turing Test. Sherlock solves the theft in record time, only to find that his client has been suddenly murdered. In "The Further Adventures", Sherlock and Joan are assigned to a case where a celebrity supermodel has been disfigured by acid, but the injury is not life-threatening. At the earliest opportunity, she commits suicide over her disfigurement, so Sherlock's case ends up with a dead victim after all.

This seems to be a combination of both pandering (for a fandom that idolizes Joan) and Conflict Ball (since the plot demanded Joan and Sherlock have conflict incongruous with their behavior in the first season). No one's denying that Joan is extremely intelligent, but it's tedious to see such a well-developed character be reduced to "badass who takes no shit and never makes a mistake, ever" by fandom and writers alike. Thankfully, the third season dialed back down on this and Joan and her relationship with Sherlock returned to form.

One of his graduate students met her, fell in love with her and planned to marry for real. However, her "husband" found out and soon after learned he was dying of eye cancer, so he arranged his own murder with the intent of framing them both. Luckily Holmes is able to clear both of their names and he and Gregson are able to find a sympathetic judge who agrees to rush through the couple's marriage so she can stay in the country. In "Rat Race" Joan becomes suspicious after the man she's dating claims he's never been married but his body language suggests he's lying. Holmes looks him up and confirms he has a still-valid marriage on the books. When Joan confronts him he reveals it was a marriage of convenience to help a woman he met through charity work avoid being deported. They have no actual relationship and are waiting for enough time to pass for them to quietly divorce without risking her citizenship.

Elementary / int_63d861f8	comment	Even Evil Has Loved Ones: In "The Deductionist", imprisoned serial killer Martin Ennis breaks loose to wreak havoc and get revenge against The Profiler, Kathryn Drummond, because her book destroyed his family. She falsely alleged that he was sexually abused by his father, who later hanged himself and his mother died shortly after; his sister Patricia helps him break out of jail by deliberately inducing kidney disease so that he has to come to a hospital to donate his kidney. While Holmes openly speculates that Martin manipulated his sister to help his plan, Martin still takes time during his escape to call Drummond and declare to her that his parents were good people who had nothing to do with what he has become. Notably, Drummond is also stabbed and almost killed by Patricia, implying that she also wanted revenge like her brother. In "A Landmark Story" Sebastian Moran tries to kill himself under Moriarty's orders to protect his sister. In "Heroine", Moriarty is obsessed with Sherlock and can't let him go. Joan realizes that in her own twisted way, she loves Sherlock, and thus is able to create a plan to put her in jail. Moriarty does care for the daughter she gave up for adoption years ago and is less than kind to her former employees who use her in a plot to get rich. Discussed and dismissed with Del Gruner, a torturer, rapist, and murderer of women. At first it seems his child is something he does love, but Sherlock disagrees, instead feeling sparing the child and the kindness shown the child are simply another form of the man's narcissism. The better off the child does in school, the more praise earned highlights his help in the child's life.

The apparent purpose of the test was to aid courts with sentencing guidelines, but Sherlock comes to believe that someone may have used it for another purpose: namely, to identify sociopaths who would be willing to commit crimes.

Watson gives a brief one to him in the pilot episode that leaves him speechless. Captain Gregson in "The Red Team". He finalizes it by punching Sherlock in the stomach. Alfredo in "Dead Man's Switch". Moriarty also delivers one in the "The Woman/Heroine" and concludes by saying that she is superior to Sherlock and he is a game she will win everytime. And then she loses. Sherlock gives one to Bell in "All In The Family" for allowing himself to give up on his own physical recovery and his career as a police detective. It's meant motivationally and it works.

While Drummond notes that Ennis didnâ€™t need her to give him a reason to kill, Holmes counters that Ennis didnâ€™t have this reason until she provoked him. The set-up of "On the Line": Samantha Wabash kills herself to frame Lucas Bundsch, whom she believes killed her sister. Sherlock proves that it was indeed a suicide, but during the polygraph test realizes that Samantha was right in suspecting Lucas of killing her sister. He spends the rest of the episode trying to finish Samantha's work.

In "The One Percent Solution" Holmes describes the gamecocks as being manipulated into fighting by their handlers. While this has some (but not total) validity re: dog fighting, it is far less applicable to fighting lines of chickens. Fighting birds are bred for aggression, and while the process Holmes uses (positive re-enforcement/desensitization via food) makes sense, it would take a great deal longer than the few days shown.

She traces a rare colour of paint to a handful of shops, giving the cops a lead. And better: In "Heroine", she is the one who alone deduces Moriarty's actions and creates the plan to her capture. By the time "Step Nine" rolls around, she's taken the level in physical badassery as well, effortlessly taking down a fleeing crook with a collapsible baton. In "We Are Everyone", she learns pickpocketing by herself, impressing Sherlock and collecting evidence to capture the killer of the week.

The idea was that when he failed to find any treasure, they would get nothing and he would pocket the unused money they had given him. Unfortunately for him, evidence quickly surfaced that there really was gold on the ship, so he had to stage an elaborate plot—including murder—to make it disappear.

Elementary / int_9d12bbc1	type	Foreshadowing
Elementary / int_9d12bbc1	comment	Foreshadowing: In "Pilot", Joan deduces that Sherlock hit bottom because of a woman. We discover that Irene Adler's murder (through Moriarty's orders) led him to addiction. Then, in "The Woman" we discover that Irene is Moriarty and, literally, she was the woman responsible for everything that happened to him. In "The Leviathan", the mysterious and omniscient Le Chevalier stole one of the most expensive paintings in the world and used it in his living room. In "The Woman", Irene Adler does the same with several paintings. This works as a Mythology Gag for fans who realized that she was Moriarty 40 minutes before the reveal and to foreshadow her true nature as a mysterious criminal who lives in the shadows. In "M.", Sebastian Moran tells Holmes that Moriarty killed Irene Adler with the sentence "Your Girl. That was him. That was Moriarty.". In "The Woman" this sentence comes to life in the most literal sense possible. In "The Red Team", Joan's shrink asks her if she is aware that she can be the catalyst for a Sherlock's relapse. In "Heroine", guess what happens. At first the audience think the relapse and the overdose is real due to Holmes and Watson's fight earlier in the episode, but turns out that Joan is the one who suggested the fake overdose to Sherlock. In both cases, she was the catalyst of a relapse — even though it was a fake one. Throughout the series, we see that Moriarty has ample opportunity to let the assassins kill Holmes, but they never do. In "Risk Management", it's flat-out stated and recognized in-universe that Moriarty wants Holmes alive. It hints on how Moriarty is obsessed with Holmes, and can't bear to kill him. In "The Woman", Joan takes over the investigation so Sherlock can look after Irene. In "Heroine", Joan is the one who figures out that Moriarty is in love with Sherlock and launches the plan to capture her. In "Risk Management," Gregson warns Joan about Sherlock, telling her that he "walks between the raindrops." Meaning that while he manages to safely maneuver through a dangerous world, the people around him aren't always so lucky. Sooner or later, someone in Sherlock's circle is going to get seriously hurt, or worse. In "Tremors," it finally happens—but to Bell, not Joan.

Elementary / int_9dab0a6e	comment	Continuity Nod: In "The Rat Race" we meet Emily, Joan's best friend. She talks about Ty (Joan's ex-boyfriend, introduced in "While You Were Sleeping"). Then, in "DÃ©jÃ Vu All Over Again" we see Emily again. In Season 02, she makes a briefly appearance in "We Are Everyone". "The Leviathan" has references to Liam (another ex-boyfriend of Joan, introduced in "You Do It to Yourself") and the events of "The Rat Race". In "Details", Sherlock mentions the events of "A Giant Gun, Filled with Drugs" in the first scene. In "DÃ©jÃ Vu All Over Again" we see Joan in jail as we saw Sherlock in the "Pilot". Both characters are aware of the similarities and talk about it. Sherlock even says that he has "the strongest sensation of dÃ©jÃ vu". Doubles as a Call-Back. In the final scene of "Heroine" Holmes mentions the exotic and lonely bee he received as a gift in "Possibility Two" and tells Watson that the bee was able to reproduce in his beehive. In "Step Nine", Sherlock mentions the self-defense classes he suggested to Joan in "Details". In "Poison Pen", Joan mentions a conversation she had with Sherlock about his childhood in "Child Predator". In "The Marchioness", Sherlock mentions the events of "Step Nine". In "Internal Audit", Joan mentions one of her first conversations with Sherlock in "Pilot". In "The Many Mouths of Andrew Colville" and "No Lack of Void", Sherlock uses the help of Everyone, the hacker group from "We Are Everyone". The couple that discovers the body in the Cold Open of "Henry Penny the Sky Is Falling" are renting out their apartment on Away-Cay, the AirBNB-esque service that was central to the B-plot of "A Study In Charlotte." "Over a Barrel" opens with flashbacks establishing that Jack Brunelle has repeatedly asked Sherlock for help over the course of the previous couple of years, only for Sherlock to be preoccupied with another case. In the three examples we see, the cases are clearly "Dead Clade Walking" (Joan says a man was murdered over a priceless Mongolian fossil), "Bella" (Mason and Sherlock studying the doll) and "Down Where the Dead Delight" (Sherlock has a file with a roller derby team). "Dead Man's Tale" opens with two guys buying the contents of a storage locker, with valuables including the first issue of the Midnight Ranger comic from "You've Got Me, Who's Got You?"

Again, in "A Landmark Story", Sherlock himself once he realized that the coded message that he showed to Sebastian Moran to decipher is actually an order for Moran to kill himself or Moriarty would kill Moran's sister. In "On the Line", Sherlock proves that Samantha Wabash made her suicide look like a murder to frame Lucas Bundsch, whom she believed killed her sister. Eventually, Sherlock realizes that Bundsch is a Serial Killer who has claimed many victims, including Wabash's sister. Fortunately, once again Holmes and Watson prove their case.

Elementary / int_a4905771	comment	Double-Meaning Title: "Child Predator". Holmes is after a serial killer who targets children. The killer is a child who IS a predator. "M." neatly sums up all the different forces intruding on Holmes and Watson's lives: M. Holmes, Sherlock's father; the serial killer "M", whose real name is Sebastian Moran; and Moran's boss, Moriarty. The Season One finale, "Heroine". At first glance it appears to imply Sherlock's addiction and the chance he will fall back into it. It really refers to Joan, not Sherlock, who comes up with the plot to capture Moriarty. Joan, who was dismissed as the "mascot" by Moriarty, is the reason the criminal mastermind is caught. "The One That Got Away". Del Gruner (a serial rapist/killer) and Kitty Winter (who's searching for him, and is also the only one of his victims to escape) both regard each other as this. The title of "The Female of the Species" relates to both of the subplots. In one story, a murderous zoo employee steals two zebras because they're both pregnant with an extinct species, the quagga, and he wants to sell the babies. In the other story, Joan correctly suspects Elana March of hiring the female assassin who killed her boyfriend, but can't prove it. Moriarty has March killed because she considers herself the only one allowed to defeat Joan.

His accent is also very faint, and he's fluent in English. It's a little strange that he can't get a medical job in the States. On the other hand, it's implied that he was carrying out his Angel of Death actions over in Ukraine and was interrogated by the police there before coming to the States. Perhaps he chose not to pursue a medical career in the States so that they wouldn't see that.

Elementary / int_b6b58f	type	Sacrificed Basic Skill for Awesome Training
Elementary / int_b6b58f	comment	Sacrificed Basic Skill for Awesome Training: Unlike most adaptations of Sherlock Holmes, Sherlock is an interesting aversion of this trope. He navigates social circles fairly well, and has no trouble finding sexual partners, including one Twin Threesome Fantasy. However, his main flaw is expecting everyone else to see things from a logical and not emotional standpoint, and he admits he can be a dick a lot of the time. After betraying Captain Gregson's trust, the captain no longer trusts Sherlock, who thinks that Gregson is being immature. Also, he wants to prove Mycroft's fiancÃ© is only interested in the family money, so he repeatedly sleeps with her. He does spend a lot of time training, investigating, and practicing, ignoring unnecessary little things like sleep. Part of the reason Sherlock can cope on this level may be that he's learned he doesn't have to specialise; where other Sherlocks seemed to basically keep track of everything he'd need to know for investigations on his own, Miller's Sherlock relies on his Irregulars for specialized knowledge of particular subjects he wouldn't expect to deal with on a more regular basis. As of Season 3, Watson has been trained to or close to his level of skill. It's worth noting that everyone in the show who's in his league (Holmes, Watson, Kitty) are all profoundly hurt in some way, though Watson is otherwise fairly normal and Holmes was just as skilled before his major trauma. The one exception is Moriarty, who's just a sociopath.

In "The Woman" Irene Adler says exactly this to Sherlock about Moriarty and him. In the end, when we see that she was Moriarty, her theory is proved real, since both of them felt in love with each other. In "Step Nine", Joan comes to this conclusion about Mycroft and Sherlock after Sherlock tells her that Mycroft exploded what was left of Sherlock's possessions and considers it a clean slate. In "Art in the Blood", it's revealed that while Holmes is a brilliant detective who uses his formidable mental skills consulting for law enforcement, Mycroft turns out to be a brilliant intelligence asset who uses his formidable mental skills consulting for MI6. In "Bella", Sherlock pressures the killer by threatening to turn in his junkie brother for a "three strikes" incarceration. Somehow, he intuits that Holmes might have a history of substance abuse himself, only to guess that he might not be ruthless enough to send someone else with the same problem up the river. In "The Deductionist", Sherlock catches the killer by cashing in on the fact that he understands how the killer feels about being analyzed by the criminal profiler.

Having had a sister who was raped as a teenager, he catfished sexual predators on dating sites, tricking them into thinking that he was an underage girl to bait them and then beating confessions out of them and posting shaming videos of them online. However, the trope becomes deconstructed over the course of the episode. One of his victims, while a deeply unpleasant person who sexually harassed one of his employees, was framed for soliciting a minor by Novak's brother-in-law so he would get leverage in a lawsuit against him. Worse still, Novak's actions turn out to have been the motive for the killer, a victim of sexual abuse named Molly Parsons. When she was younger, she had been one of several victims of Shane Fitzhugh, one of the predators Novak shamed. As an adult, she came forward to the police, who took her accusation seriously and looked into it, even finding more victims willing to testify. Then, Novak targeted Fitzhugh and shamed him online, and the exposure drove Fitzhugh to flee to a non-extradition country, resulting in the collapse of the legitimate legal case that could have gotten him sent to prison.

Elementary / int_cbe687ab	comment	Corrupt Corporate Executive: Pretty much everyone at the investment firm in "The Rat Race". Even lampshaded by one of the suits: "The Long Fuse" has a couple of examples. A web designer for a corporate PR firm blackmails his boss when he realized he'd slept with her (and filmed it!) while she was a prostitute. Said boss responds with two attempts to kill the employee; one is successful, one winds up killing two innocent people four years later. Implied by Holmes in "DÃ©jÃ Vu All Over Again" about his father's lawyer. The Asshole Victims in "The Five Orange Pipz" are a toy company president who sold beads he knew were poisonous and his equally crooked lawyer. "Alma Matters" provides yet another example. William Trager runs Fairbanks University, a for-profit private college that saddles its disadvantaged students with crushing debts without really helping them. Even worse, Trager sometimes recruits particularly desperate ex-con students to commit crimes for him, including murder, in exchange for the debts being forgiven. In one case, a student is forced to confess to a murder he didn't commit. Also see the "Poison Pen" example in Framing the Guilty Party.

He may violate his parole and get sent back to prison, but that's preferable to being charged with murder. Inverted in "Poison Pen": the son's alibi for the murder of his sexually abusive father is that he was busy preparing to murder him, while someone else went ahead and did it.

Gregson ends the speech by saying he'll let Holmes keep consulting, but that he'll never fully trust him again. And then he punches Holmes in the gut for good measure before leaving. Joan also doesn't hesitate to call out Sherlock's occasional misogyny. In "On the Line" and "Tremors", Watson and Gregson frequently talk to Sherlock about his bad behavior and his ego. In "Tremors", his attitude is catastrophic, probably causing permanent damage in Bell's arm thanks to a bullet and getting himself and Watson fired from the NYPD until Bell himself decides to make an intervention. However, Holmes' relationship with Bell also took a hit...

His exact words about noticing things and being overstimulated by the world suggest a sensory processing disorder. Mycroft claims at one point that the family has consulted a number of experts about Sherlock's sanity, but have not been able to get a precise diagnosis. Given the situation however, he may not be telling the truth. Sherlock's body language is also wildly stilted and jerky. It makes his moods difficult to ascertain without his tone to give it away. He does get very, very still at serious moments or when he's incredibly angry, however. In season 4 Fiona Helbron, who is explicitly Autistic, is able to identify that her boss and Joan are both Neurotypical but states she can't tell if Sherlock is also Autistic or not.

While Conrad leaves the film director he'd been stalking alone, he (apparently) kills his parents and himself instead. Odin angrily tells Sherlock and Joan to Get Out! and doubles down on his efforts to assassinate potential murderers. Subverted after The Reveal that Odin actually had the Conrads murdered.

Elementary / int_f54a4264	comment	Disability Alibi: In the season one episode "Flight Risk", Holmes and Watson investigate a plane crash. After determining one of the victims was dead before even boarding the plane, they look into a man who was seen in a photo arguing with the victim outside of the hanger, who Watson notes has an insulin pump. When they speak to this man, they determine by the way he fumbles around with his pill bottle that he is not capable of beating a man to death. In the season one episode "One Way to Get Off", Holmes and Watson look into a series of deaths matching the MO of a convicted killer. They find a suspect and Sherlock realizes the man is blind in one eye by the way he arranges his stuff on the shelves, and the marks on the ceiling from practicing his depth perception. He proves this by throwing an orange at the man, who is unable to catch it. He concludes this makes him innocent, since one of the deaths was a shot in the dark following a struggle, not something a man with poor depth perception could do. In the season two episode "Dead Clade Walking", Holmes and Watson investigate a death related to a fossil that would prove the theory that dinosaurs survived the K-T meteor impact. Holmes rounds up skeptics of this theory, asks them for DNA samples, and the match turns out to be a wheelchair bound man named Andrew Donnelly. Gregson is skeptical how this is possible, and the man is further exonerated by his lawyer providing an air tight alibi. Turns out the real killer is the museum curator Holmes and Watson talked to earlier, who co-authored a book with Donnelly, and they both had used the tool that was the murder weapon. In the season two episode "The Many Mouths of Aaron Colville" Holmes and Watson look into a number of bite related deaths, with teeth marks that match that of a killer who died in prison. After determining that this is because the killer's teeth were a model for the dentures, they investigate the dental assistant named Divac, a sex offender taking chemical castration. Watson determines his innocence by noting that a mirror was shattered at the crime scene and the blood was not the victim's. If this had happened to Divac, his bones, brittle from the treatment, would have shattered. In the season four episode "Ready or Not" Holmes and Watson look into a missing doctor named Vincent, who they determine was a survivalist renting space in a doomsday bunker, run by a former Marine named Ronnie Wright. When they visit the bunker, Holmes determines that the bunker is an ill prepared fraud, and finds a bloodstain belonging to Vincent. Ronnie Wright admits to disposing of the body, but claims he couldn't have killed him, because a bad rotator cuff prevents him from swinging a weapon overhead. He admits that he was injured while on his high school swim team, and that he was unable to enlist in the Marines.

Sherlock refuses and eventually loses his temper and nearly strangles him, then proceeds to solve the case sober. An inversion is also suggested in the series, in that Sherlock used drugs in hopes of dulling his ever-active deductive senses.

Elementary / int_f9f2c33	type	Running Gag
Elementary / int_f9f2c33	comment	Running Gag: Sherlock and his fondness for prostitutes. Sherlock's habit of introducing Joan as various titles. So far we've had: "personal valet", "bodyguard", "consultant slash housekeep", "she keeps me from doing heroin", and "America's foremost expert on home security". Holmes waking Watson up in several ways and times of the day to share his thoughts on the latest case. It's even used in the show's promotional ads. That one gets turned on its head in "The Female of the Species", when Joan gets her revenge by dropping a very heavy book on her dinner table, waking him up because he fell asleep at it. The Anonymous-Expy Everyone making Sherlock perform humiliating tasks in exchange for tracking stuff down for him. Sherlock's distaste for big, powerful organizations doing shady things, which he is never shy about expressing. Given his father's line of work, this may be part of his daddy issues.

Elementary / int_faf36236	type	Cyberpunk
Elementary / int_faf36236	comment	Cyberpunk: Of a low grade nature. The series revels in the collision of hacker culture, the surveillance state, and cutting edge technology. People have been murdered with hacked pacemakers, drone-mounted shotguns, and tiny robotic mosquitoes. In "Bella", the titular character is an AI under investigation for murder, and the B-plot involves a Gentleman Thief who's been hired by a technology firm to steal it. Add some vans loaded with explosives and it could be a Shadowrun adventure. In "Hounded", the titular hound is eventually revealed to be a Boston Dynamics-esque robot dog on a remote-controlled killing spree.

Elementary / int_fb3576b2	type	The Dog Bites Back
Elementary / int_fb3576b2	comment	Season two episode "The Grand Experiment" has Sherlock and Holmes hunting down a mole in the MI-6. He notes that all of the communications between the mole and his contact, Julian Afkhami, caused political consequences except for one of them. Sherlock realizes that it instead had local consequences: the mole let the Afkhami know his wife was cheating on him, resulting in Afkhami hunting down and stoning the lover to death. This backfires when Afkhami's wife saves his bloody undershirt from the fire, resulting in his conviction.

Elementary / int_fd4f8299	type	Well-Intentioned Extremist
Elementary / int_fd4f8299	comment	Well-Intentioned Extremist: Danilo Gura from "Lesser Evils" is an Angel of Death who murdered nine people via fatal overdoses of epinephrine, and it's implied he killed more people back in his native Ukraine. His victims were patients with terminal illnesses and he viewed his actions as freeing them from their pain and suffering. Kathryn Drummond believes that the father of Martin Ennis has sexually abused him, but she didn't have concrete evidence to show that he did it, so she paid off Ennis' neighbor to make up a lie. Odin Reichenbach is violating the privacy of the millions of customers using his software and using the information he finds to pre-emptively kill those he believes are planning to do harm to others. While the desire to prevent crime is a noble one his methods are completely amoral and, as Sherlock and Joan point out, not a foolproof system as some of the people he ordered executed may have had no intention of acting on the aggressive words they posted online. And then he jumps off the slippery slope...

Elementary / int_fd7267dd	comment	Master of Disguise: Unlike other versions of the character, this Sherlock doesn't go for elaborate disguises for his work. Indeed, one episode openly discusses it with Holmes stating that even the best makeup and latex has limitations and it's nearly impossible for someone to replicate a person in voice and mannerisms to fool friends up close. That being said, Sherlock does frequently create characters when making phone calls as someone other than himself, complete with either ludicrously-detailed backstories, or choosing to troll Joan when she asks about them - when asked why "Manny Tarkanian" has a lisp, he replies "Childhood sledding accident. But let's not get caught up in the backstory of a passing alias."

Elementary / int_fe0330fb	comment	Brick Joke: In season one it is revealed that when Holmes texts he uses an overload of abbreviations, making it almost impossible to read and Watson complains of it, saying it reads like a "teenager on a sugar high." In season 3, Kitty receives a text from Holmes and complains aloud that she can't understand his abbreviations. Watson, overhearing this, walks over, reads the text over her shoulder, and translates it perfectly.

Elementary / int_ffad4e9f	type	Shown Their Work
Elementary / int_ffad4e9f	comment	Shown Their Work: Malbolge, which appears in the episode "The Leviathan", is a real esoteric program language, and the code depicted in the episode is actual code (although it doesn't do what the episode says it does). The writers got help from a PhD mathematician for the episode. P versus NP, which is depicted in the episode "Solve for X", is also a real problem in the field of computer science and is pretty much as major as the episode shows it to be. Dead Clade Walking is a real theory in palaeontology and it is indeed Serious Business. "Bella" had a very accurate portrayal of how artificial intelligences work, and of issues in the ethics of AI research. More generally, the portrayal of addiction in this show has been highly praised by recovering addicts as being among the most realistic depictions on television. Just look at the Mythology Gag entry: This might be a different presentation of Holmes than most fans are used to, but let no one say the writers haven't read up on their Sherlock Holmes.
