Plot
| "This thing that we started with SBK, I cannot do it on my own. I need your help." — Watson to Holmes
|
| In his bedroom at The Brownstone, Sherlock tries unsuccessfully to remember items he placed in a sealed box. Meeting Watson at the front door, he confirms he's read her texts that SBK gang leader Bonzi Folsom was poisoned by his brother Tyus Wilcox, who they suspect is the real leader. Remarking on Sherlock's distracted behaviour of late, Watson asks if he's been using drugs. Indignant, Sherlock shows her his arms and she pleads for his help bringing SBK down. At an outdoor SBK party, "Socks" tells Duane that before he was imprisoned, Tall Boy was able to pass them Watson's address. While making plans to murder her, three Mara Tres gang members with machine pistols fire on the partyers, killing Socks, Duane and several others. The next day at the Morgue, Captain Gregson and Detective Bell view the bodies and tell Sherlock and Watson that police are on full alert for a gang war.

| While Gregson intends to talk Tyus out of SBK retaliating, Sherlock reaches out to Mara Tres' leader Halcon through a priest that Mara Tres uses to launder money. Sherlock's message to Halcon is that police intend to dismantle SBK and to hold off any more violence. At his office, Tyus won't admit to being SBK's real leader. After Gregson explains that it'll be hard for Tyus to hide his status if a gang war erupts, Tyus indicates that if he was the leader, he's been give a lot to think about, but still insists he's not involved with SBK. At the Brownstone, Sherlock hallucinates his mother May threatening to leave forever if he doesn't tell Watson about his concussion and visions. Mara Tres gang members pick Sherlock up and take him to a garage to meet Halcon. (♫ Dave East - Stove Top ♫)

| Halcon shows him the body of his sister, Carmen, murdered by SBK, who also included a video of her being tortured and delivering a message to Mara Tres. Intent on revenge, Halcon tells Sherlock to stay out of his way. At the 11th Precinct, Sherlock shows Bell, Gregson and Watson the video of Carmen. Lip bloodied and hands tied to a bar above her, she's forced to deliver a message that Mara Tres has disrespected SBK. Indicating that Carmen was stabbed in the heart, Sherlock also says that Halcon intends to keep Carmen's body to motivate his men in their revenge. Given SBK's weakened state, Sherlock and Watson believe someone is trying to frame them for Carmen's murder and Gregson decides to bring Tyus to the precinct. Showing Tyus a picture of Carmen and promising to not arrest him if he talks to them openly, Tyus gives in and is surprised that SBK is responsible.

| Recalling how he became Bonzi's SBK partner, they had an agreement that Halcon was never to be messed with, knowing the repercussions would be severe. Having heard rumors from gang lieutenants that some thought they were too easy on Mara Tres, he agrees to find out who in SBK killed Carmen. Having not told Halcon that Tyus is SBK's leader, Sherlock threatens to if the gang war isn't stopped. At Carmen's house, Watson questions her roommate Tanya who eventually admits that Mara Tres threatened her into silence about Carmen's abduction. A man with a gun in a ski mask took Carmen and told Tanya to let Halcon know that he'd be in touch with a ransom demand. Halcon demanded her silence so that he could handle the kidnapping without police interference. Tanya also mentions that the kidnapper didn't act like a gang member as he had no tattoos and seemed uncomfortable holding a gun.
