To Mycroft's surprise, Sherrington asks Sherlock to work on a case of an ex-MI6 analyst, [[Arthur West]], who has been murdered. Over Mycroft's objections, Sherlock agrees to look into West. Returning to the Brownstone, Sherlock discovers that Watson wants to work so he fills her in on West's case. At the [[Morgue]], they discover that Arthur's arms are missing. Arthur's wife, Marion, eventually reveals she tattooed numbers on Arthur's arms in infrared ink and gives them a picture of the tattoos, which are all numbers. She doesn't know what the numbers mean and that Arthur was convinced there is a mole in MI6. He did say the mole was selling secrets to a bookstore owner, Julian Afkhami. Sherlock deduces that the data represents dates and times, but to what, he doesn't know. Watson tells Sherlock that she's moving out of the Brownstone which he thinks is a knee-jerk reaction to her kidnapping. Explaining that she's planned it for a while and that she needs a life outside of detective work, he's stunned into silence and then leaves. Watson goes to Mycroft's apartment and asks him to explain about a man named Sudomo Han. After Mycroft left MI6, Han employed Sherlock, at the height of drug use, as a courier of trade secrets. However, Sherlock didn't know he was aiding Han in financing a terrorist plot. The plot was thwarted but after Sherlock's involvement was discovered, MI6 pressured Mycroft into returning to work in exchange for Sherlock not going to jail.

Sherlock meets MI6 Deputy Chief, Sir [[James Walter]] and Mycroft's handler, Tim Sherrington, but is unsuccessful in gaining access to their files. He lies that he'll let them know when he finds Mycroft. Sherlock and Watson break into Julian Afkhami's store and Sherlock finds a scrambler that Afkhami could use for certain calls. Arthur West wouldn't have understood the calls but Sherlock believes he would know the date, time and location of them. At the safe house, Sherlock examines the info West had tattooed on his arms. Although burner phones would have been used by Afkhami's contact, the code of the cell tower used would be part of the metadata of the call. Sherlock realizes this is what West tattooed on his arms. As he reads the locations and dates, Mycroft confirms that he was at locations. Watson deduces that Sherrington was also there and that he is the mole. Sherlock finds that the dates correspond to events that benefited Iran and that Sherrington provided secret information to make the events occur. While Sherlock is called to the precinct, Sherrington visits Watson at the Brownstone and threatens her. However, she's prepared for this and has various members of [[Everyone]] witness Sherrington's threatens via monitors in the the media room. At the safe house, Sherlock wakes Mycroft to tell him about Watson's encounter with Sherrington and, that he knows why he re-joined MI6. He's confused why Mycroft would make such a sacrifice when he owed Sherlock nothing but Mycroft simply states they are brothers. Sherlock vows to fix the Sherrington situation. After Sherlock and Watson find evidence that Afkhami killed a man who was having an affair with his wife, Gregson tells Sherlock that Afkhami gave Sherrington up. Sherrington turns up dead and Gregson tells Bell to put out a Finest Message for Mycroft. At the Brownstone, Sherlock and Watson confront Mycroft who says he didn't murder Sherrington.

Mycroft will have to disappear which he tries to apologize to Watson for. She leaves, frustrated and upset. Sherlock indicates that they were working on a solution for him that would take hard work which isn't Mycroft's way. Mycroft interrupts Sherlock's chastisement by hugging him, proclaiming his love, and then leaves.

+ | "[[Enough Nemesis To Go Around]]": Watson meets drug lord [[Elana March]] for a tense lunch. March cattily denies being a criminal and taunts Watson, saying that she's wasted six month trying to convict her. However, Watson has found March's bookkeeper and invited March to lunch so that her bodyguards would be occupied. Police have arrested the bookkeeper who has given the police enough information to convict March. [[Thomas Gregson|Captain Gregson]] arrives and takes March away. Days later at [[Watson's apartment]], a client meets her in her home office when [[Marcus Bell|Detective Bell]] calls. He asks her to join him and the bookkeeper, Karen Lloyd, who wants to review the courthouse security again before she testifies against March. On her way out, Watson encounters new neighbor [[Andrew Mittal]] and helps him find a lost lizard. Watson meets Lloyd and reassures her she's safe as Lloyd enters the hotel elevator for court. Lloyd and [[The Detectives#Appearances|Detective Palmer]] are found shot dead in the elevator. Two months later at the [[11th Precinct]], Bell and Watson are still puzzled by the elevator shooting. The elevator didn't stop, no one entered and the bullets wounds reveal the shots were horizontal. With March free, a tip that a hotel guest, Kevin Elspeth, is the murderer leads Watson to [[The Brownstone]] where she discovers Holmes has returned and provided the tip. Holmes admits that he should have said goodbye properly but Watson is still bitter and says she doesn't need his help. After Bell and Watson question Elspeth, who denies murdering the bookkeeper. Outside, Watson notices she's being followed by a woman, surprises her and pulls out her single-stick. The woman smiles, pulls out one of her own and they battle. Watson wins and the woman says she's Holmes' new partner. In the hotel where Lloyd was murdered, Watson goes to use the elevator and finds Holmes inside, tracing the bullet shots. Annoyed that he isn't staying out of her case, he follows her to the hotel room Elspeth stayed in when Lloyd was killed. To gain her sympathy, he admits that he left NYC for London because he was afraid that with Watson moving out of the Brownstone, he might relapse. Largely ignoring him, Watson proceeds into the bathroom. Holmes notes it is beside the elevator Lloyd was killed in and, the bullet were shot towards his room. Holmes sits on the bench in the shower and reminds Watson that she should examine a crime scene from all perspectives, but she's too angry to take the hint. At the Brownstone, Watson warily greets Kitty who indicates that Holmes has solved her case. With a model, Holmes shows Watson that Elspeth jammed four steel slugs in the side of the elevator and then positioned a large magnet in his hotel room bathroom. He monitored Lloyd's protective detail's radio messages and once she was in the elevator, pulled the magnet's switch. The steel slugs were pulled through the elevator, killing Lloyd and Palmer. Later, Watson finds proof that Holmes' theory is correct, resulting in Elspeth and March's arrests. Watson arrives at the Brownstone to let Holmes know about March's arrest which he congratulates her on. She's also signed off on Holmes and Kitty working with the NYPD but insists that they work their own cases. Outside the Brownstone, Kitty catches Watson and expresses her gratitude for allowing her to work with the NYPD. |

+ | "[[The Five Orange Pipz]]": The murders of Elias Openshaw and his attorney, Theo Fordham, result in Watson allowing Holmes to join the case. Beads found at both men's murder scenes or "the Pipz", were made by Openshaw's company and when ingested, metabolized into GHB. A hallucinogen used as a "date rape" drug, nine children had been killed or poisoned by swallowing the Pipz. Meeting Gregson in his office, they're introduced to FBI Agent Vince Boden who indicates the FBI had proof Openshaw knew the Pipz were poison but sold them anyway. The FBI seized all of the Pipz and Boden has no suspects other than a list of the parents of the children who'd been poisoned. Holmes texts Watson to join him at the office of US Attorney Angela White, the prosecutor of the Pipz case. She denies Holmes' request for access to surveillance video of Theo, citing privacy concerns, and Kitty accuses her of not wanting them to find the real killer. Offended, White ends the meeting. Questioning Boden at his home, he denies knowing about an encounter between White and Openshaw but says that White had motive to kill Openshaw and Theo. White admits to the missing evidence, blackmail and agreeing to Openshaw skipping bail. However, she denies committing the murders. Holmes takes Watson to his bedroom and removing bricks in the fireplace, takes out a file on Kitty and gives it to Watson. He explains that Kitty was the victim of a horrific crime and was taken by a man who is still at large. Watson comments that Kitty had a good point about Boden which makes Holmes realize that perhaps Boden was trying to end the proceedings against Openshaw. Gregson and an ESU team catch Boden leaving a waste facility in a truck filled with boxes of the Pipz. Holmes compliments Kitty on the points she made that helped with the solving of the case. Later at the precinct, Watson sees Kitty going through old cases Holmes and Watson worked on. She gives Kitty the file Holmes gave her and indicates she never read it.

Meeting Captain Gregson at the grow house, they are puzzled to discover most of the pot plants are dead. Holmes spots a valuable, one-of-a-kind orchid, the Wutai Pingtung, on a shelf and believes Clay may have been killed over it. Barbara Conway, a senior VP at AgriNext is questioned by Bell, Holmes and Watson at her company's office. Having found that she bought a cabinet that had the orchid on it, she denies knowing Clay. Told they believe she killed Clay when he didn't deliver the orchid, she insists it was thrown in for free, the seller was anonymous and gives them the second orchid. Conway provided two bags of plant food and as Watson opens one filled with ground coffee and dried fish, Holmes tells her that's the wrong one for orchids. After Conway reveals that AgriNext was negotiating for Clay's release from the SDS in order to grow pot for them, Watson reviews AgriNext memos that proves this. In order to stimulate thought, Holmes opens the plant food bag with coffee and fish and the strong odor fills the room. Holmes tells Watson that he's decided to make Kitty his new partner. Watson meets an ex of Clay's who has plant food that smells of coffee and fish. Watson meets Conway alone and says she knows that she and Clay were lovers. After Conway discovered Clay was also sleeping with an ex, she confronted him and in anger, killed him with a blow to the head. She then tried to frame the SDS by burning him. Conway breaks down and confesses, saying that she loved Clay and kept a flower he'd given her. Watson calls Holmes and informs him of Conway's confession while he indicates that he's about to tell Kitty about her promotion. However, a call from Gregson interrupts asking for Holmes alone to come to a crime scene. |
