Plot
| "Imagine me with a giant Moriarty across my stomach." — Holmes
|
| At night in The Brownstone, Watson reads in bed until disturbed by loud bass playing coming from next door. Running downstairs to complain to Holmes, she finds him practising escaping from a straight jacket with headphones on. He doesn't smypathsize with Watson and encourages her to spend less time sleeping. In his apartment, Professor Joe Ballantine hosts an "experience" with a group of students and gives them a brew of mushrooms which they drink. Taking a swig himself, he leaves to deal with a noisy neighbor, returns, finds the students choking and he also collapses after dialing 911. At the scene, Detective Lydel and his Captain allow Holmes access after receiving a message from Captain Gregson. To their amazement, he quickly identifies the mushrooms used, that poison was added to the mushrooms, Ballantine was the target and says he has a motive and suspect.
