Plot

"There will come a day when criminals realize that they shouldn't use social media, but I just hope I don't live to see it."
— Holmes
At a mortuary, Holmes ponders a crime scene. The mortician is dead on the floor from a head wound and has a bite mark on his shoulder while the corpse he was working on lays on a table. The corpse's jewelery stolen, Detective Bell believes a burglar killed the mortician. They are interrupted by Detective Loughlin who is investigating the murders of two women who were also bitten. A string of similar murders occurred in 2005, which Watson remembers, in which the killer was caught, but the recent murders have Loughlin believing an innocent person may have been convicted. Holmes demonstrates that the mortician was high, standing on the table, fell onto the corpse's teeth and then hit his head on the floor. In a body storage room, he stabs a body with a needle to reveal the burglar, hiding under a sheet. As Loughlin leaves, Watson catches her outside and asks for her case file on the "vampire killer."



S02E19-Holmes and mortician
Is the pin important?
She confirms that Aaron Colville took a plea bargain for the killings in 2005 and died later that year. In a surgical bay, Dr. Jonathan Fleming is teaching medical students when he notices Watson in the audience. (♫ The Clash - Rudie Can't Fail ♫) Afterwards, she asks him about Colville which he refuses to discuss. In a flashback to 2005, Colville is admitted to a hospital ER having been stabbed four times while in prison. Watson and Fleming are seen preparing to operate on Colville who whispers to Fleming before being sedated. His dismisses Watson's inquiry as to what Colville said and as Colville flat-lines during the surgery, he tries heart massage over Watson's insistence that Colville needs an epi shot. In present day, Watson fills Fleming in on the latest crimes and accuses Fleming of letting Colville die due to his crimes. Fleming says he didn't know who Colville was, that his whispers were gibberish and that he stands by the medical decision he made.



S02E19-Fleming listens Colville
Uh, nothing. Come on, let's go.
At The Brownstone, Holmes tries unsuccessfully to interest Watson in joining him on a sunken treasure hunt. She fills him in on Colville's surgery but her brooding manner puzzles Holmes who reminds her that she holds no responsibility for what happened. Since the killer left no DNA, he suggests obtaining dental records of all patients in the area the killer struck. Later, Holmes stands in a busy part of NYC with a sign inviting passerbys to punch him as the price for Everyone providing him with the dental records. After obtaining the records from one of those that punched him, they proceed to manually compare thousands of the records. Hours later, Watson wakes Holmes as she's found a match, an ex-con named Alan Vikner. In "the box" at the 11th Precinct, Vikner is relieved when shown the bite mark evidence. He takes out his dentures which he received in prison and says many prisoners received the same set. Holmes realizes that Colville's teeth were the model and they'll have to investigate all prisoners who received a set.
