Plot
| "I can narrow it down by one. Me. This is Dr. Candace Reed. She used to be my therapist." — Watson
|
| At The Brownstone, Watson wakes Holmes who is sleeping in a Victorian sensory deprivation tank to combat his post-concussion syndrome (PCS). Watson asks about an evidence wall containing pictures of Polly Kenner, a missing woman who Michael Rowan asked him to look into. They're called to a murder scene where they meet Captain Gregson and Detective Bell and view the body of a psychiatrist who was stabbed over fifty times. Watson recognizes the victim as her former therapist, Dr. Candace Reed. Outside Reed's building, they speak to her business partner, Dr. Leo Demopoulos. He indicates he left the building the night before with another doctor and Reed wasn't expecting anyone. With suspicion that the murderer is one of her patients, he won't provide her patient files but offers to give Bell's card to them so they can voluntarily speak to the police.

 |
| Bell and Watson question Dr. Reed's grieving husband Milt who has an alibi. He mentions that Candace had a patient who'd grown very attached to her. He doesn't know his name but gives them the time of his appointment and also says the patient would show up unexpectedly. At the Brownstone, Watson finds Holmes going through printouts which he's made from Reed's patient files. Holmes admits he stole the backup hard drive from Reed's office which prompts Watson to comment on the illegality of his action. Looking through the patient files, Watson discovers that her file is also available and, that Alfonse Kapoor is the patient Milt mentioned. Kapoor's file indicates he had rage issues and bit a fellow employee at his accounting workplace. Questioning Kapoor in his office, he thinks they were sent by his boss Sydney Place who is the only person who knew he was in therapy.
|
 |
| Informing Kapoor of Reed's death and asking his whereabouts the evening before, Kapoor becomes so distraught that he has a panic attack. As he proceeds onto the balcony for air, Holmes and Watson turn to give him privacy and Kapoor jumps. Later at a hospital, Kapoor awakes to finds Holmes there. Holmes believes Kapoor didn't kill Reed and Kapoor mentions that when Reed died, he was at a work meeting that was so important, it required a non-disclosure agreement. He also says that Place is bringing him documents to look over and can verify his whereabouts. Place confirms Kapoor's alibi at a meeting between a CEO and an off-shore, tax haven bank. He also says he knew Reed, owned the building her office was in and arranged for Kapoor to see her. He points Holmes to Dr. Demopoulos as a suspect as his share of the rent had to be covered by Reed several times and they argued frequently.
|
 |
| Lin Wen arrives at the Brownstone and seeing the evidence wall on Reed, Watson tells her their past relationship and that she saw Reed's case file on herself. Though the file is five years old, Watson is bothered by it as Reed's opinion was that Watson could be a good mother and was channeling maternal instincts into her job at the time as a sober companion. Watson admits to Lin that she hadn't thought much about having kids and part of the reason is due to their father's schizophrenia. Watson meets Holmes to question Dr. Demopoulos at his office building where the doctor is crassly more concerned with cleaning Reed's office than discovering who murdered her. He admits to the arguments with Reed but won't provide the name of the patient he was seeing when Reed was murdered. He abruptly leaves to see a patient in the hospital and won't confirm that it's Kapoor.
|
 |
| Heading into Reed's office, Watson has the hard drive Holmes took and puts it back while discussing it with him. Looking at the ceiling, Holmes finds a listening device and says that whoever placed it there probably knows they took the hard drive. At the Brownstone, Watson receives a call from the patient who was with Demopoulos when Reed was killed, confirming his alibi. After examining the bug, which was in Reed's office for months, they believe that Holmes taking the hard drive won't be exposed as doing so would reveal the person behind the illegal surveillance. However, the person would have a recording of Reed's murder. Remembering that some of Reed's patient notes on Kapoor mentioned that he spoke about sensitive company information during his sessions, Watson believes that Place is behind the bug.
