Plot
| "A bug that is literally a bug. It's like something from a sci-fi movie." — Watson
|
| At a support group meeting, Sherlock shares that the greatest threat to his sobriety is being without a peer. Waiting outside, Watson finds a crying Tess Dahl. Gathering Sherlock, Tess relates that her addict sister Paige is missing. At The Brownstone as they discuss Tess's case, Sherlock discovers that Ms. Hudson has let his brother Mycroft in, who has arrived from London and has prepared a meal to to catch up, especially with Watson. Mycroft indicates he's in NYC to solve some issues with his restaurant Diogenes and invites Watson, but not Sherlock, to help with the dessert menu. The next day, they break into Paige's home while Sherlock discusses how he and Mycroft can "share" Watson. They find money, heroin and a business card that Sherlock identifies as a drug ordering service. After Watson calls the number and the delivery person is followed, they're able to arrest those involved in the service.

| In "the box" at the 11th Precinct, Sherlock and Detective Bell question one of the drug dealers about Paige's whereabouts but he's surprised she's missing, has an alibi, but does provide information on her. At Diogenes, Mycroft proposes dating Watson and while she's interested, she's worried it would makes things with Sherlock difficult. Returning home, she finds Sherlock listening to music Paige has composed, hoping to find a clue. (♫ Simone White - Never Be That Tough ♫) He deduces something happened at Diogenes but Watson heads to bed without discussing it. In the morning, Holmes wakes Watson, asking if Mycroft took liberties with her. She's miffed at Sherlock's prying questions so he relates that Paige's musical inspiration was Harriet Tubman. Noting that her guitar was missing, they head to a park near Paige's that has a plaque dedicated to Tubman.

| While at the park, after much pressing, Watson tells Sherlock that Mycroft proposed they date. However, Sherlock discovers two recently made trails in the woods. Splitting up, Watson finds Paige dead in the woods while Sherlock finds a dead man against a rock. Later, with Bell on the scene, Sherlock has deduced that the man, Zach Piller, was the target and Paige was killed due to witnessing the attack on Piller. Sherlock is puzzled by shotgun blasts on the rocks around Piller and, the appearance of a mosquito, though it's winter. Piller's possessions reveal he moved to NYC from Las Vegas and, he'd been seeing a psychiatrist, Dr. Paul Sutherland. Sutherland is questioned at the precinct but won't discuss Piller's treatment. Bell heads to Piller's home while Sherlock and Watson go to Piller's former workplace. They discover that Piller worked for a company that makes drones.

| While waiting for Piller's boss, Sherlock relates that he's giving Watson time without harassment to consider Mycroft's offer. Piller's boss tells them that he worked as a drone operator for a large military contractor, McCarthy-Strauss, and that he was involved in a lawsuit against a roommate from Vegas. Heading home, Sherlock says he has an errand which is a confrontation with Mycroft at Diogenes. While waiting, he takes a photo of a man, who he saw at the same table months before, receiving a package. Sherlock insists that Mycroft stop pursuing Watson as it will disrupt both his sobriety support and their detective work. Mycroft accuses Sherlock of not caring about Watson's happiness and hoarding her gifts to himself. Indicating he won't stop trying to date Watson, Mycroft says he won't tell her about their conversation. At the Brownstone, Watson reports that Piller's lawsuit was a dead end.

| As Sherlock shows her the photo of the man, de Soto, who is a lieutenant in a French crime organization, Le Milieu, Watson expresses her anger at him interfering in her relationship with Mycroft. Believing that Mycroft is involved with Le Milieu, Sherlock then bolts out of his chair, grabs a glass and captures something on a table. Hearing clinking, he explains to Watson that he's captured a tiny surveillance drone. He now knows why there was a strange shotgun pattern around Piller's body, he and Paige were killed by drones. As Sherlock shows Watson a video of the type of drone that killed Paige and Piller, he also says that the drone watching them is tracking their progress on the case and must have been sent by Piller's former employer, McCarthy-Strauss. |

| At the precinct, as they sift through Piller's possessions taken from his apartment, they find that his laptop is missing and articles on the massacre of CIA operatives in Afghanistan by a drone. Watson finds notes that indicate that Piller may have been responsible for the massacre and feeling guilt, spoke to Dr. Sutherland about it. With Sutherland and McCarthy-Strauss executives now suspects, Holmes is surprised to find Watson leaving for lunch. At Diogenes, Watson expresses her interest in dating Mycroft but indicates that she'll have to move out of the Brownstone first. She also sees a man, Marchef, who was sitting at the same table when she met Mycroft earlier and she takes his picture. At the precinct, she now agrees that Le Milieu is using Diogenes as a base and shows Sherlock her picture of Marchef who is linked to a massacre.
