Plot
"I'm better at the work I do because of you. But over the years the relative importance of those two values has flipped. I now value the work that we do, first and foremost, because I do it with you." — Holmes to Watson
|
At the 11th Precinct, as Holmes shows Detective Bell how a wanted wildlife trafficker was covering for a murderer, they notice Deputy Chief Prosky meeting with Captain Gregson. Holmes is concerned that Prosky may have an issue with their work. A couple who find their condo trashed by short-term renters work out the repair details with a rep from the rental company. Noticing a fireplace poker protruding through the wall, they don't see that it has been stabbed through a man in the next condo. At The Brownstone, Watson sees Holmes looking at an evidence wall comprised of many past solved cases. He tells Watson of Gregson's meeting and has discovered that the cases being reviewed were theirs. Receiving a call from Bell, they meet him at the crime scene of the man stabbed with the poker, Russell Cole.
