Plot

"The things that I do, the things that you care about, you think that I do them because I'm a good person. I do them because it would hurt too much not to."

— Holmes to Agatha

As Watson enters the library in The Brownstone, she finds Holmes putting out the "sex blanket" for a house guest, Agatha Spurrell. An esteemed climatologist who Holmes has used as an "Irregular" and a paramour, he offers to put Watson up at an expensive hotel while Agatha visits and gives a speech at a conference. Galen Barrow, a ride-share driver for the company Zooss, pulls his car out of a garage and idles curbside while reviewing the fares. (♫ Modest Mouse - Lampshades On Fire ♫) He's rear-ended and exiting his car to check the damage, the car that hit his car runs him over. The next morning at the Brownstone, Holmes makes breakfast for Agatha and is called away by Detective Bell. However, before he leaves, Agatha says she'd like to discuss something with him.

I have asked you not to call it that.

Holmes arrives at Barrow's crime scene to find the car and body already removed. Watson tells him Barrow's car appeared to be hit by a yellow taxi. Smelling a stain on the ground, Holmes indicates that it's vomit that is mainly gin and he saw an empty bottle around the corner. Watson and Bell check out a lead on a yellow cab with front end damage but discover it doesn't fit the crime scene damage. At the 11th Precinct garage, Holmes has deduced from a metal bumper strip left on Galen's car that he was hit by a specific car model that is a retired taxi and that the killing was made to appear to be the work of an angry cabbie. At the Brownstone, Watson meets Agatha and finds Holmes avoiding her by working in the basement. Holmes reports that Barrow was an internet journalist by trade and began working for Zooss recently. Watson presses Holmes as to why he's hiding from Agatha and he reveals that she asked if he'd impregnate her.

Smell that.

Called to the precinct by Bell, they question Gordon Meadows, a registered sex offender. Police found he bought the car used in the killing and after telling him about the gin bottle, he confesses to hitting Barrow but says he was blackmailed. After watching a schoolyard, he received anonymous texts with photos of him at the school and instructions how to kill Barrow, else the texter threatened to report his parole violation.
