Elementary - Season 4

[AntiArbitrator]

4.10 “Alma Matters” (1-28-16) Holmes and Watson learn that Morland has been keeping a secret that puts their safety at risk two murders are connected to a for profit college that utilizes illegal recruitment practices.

---

My favorite moments were Sherlock’s displeased expressions when he talked to Morland because he makes me laugh when he does that. He is so blunt with his father and says he does not care if he stays or goes. Morland humbled himself and approached Sherlock again to make amends. I am hoping Morland will remain in New York.


The owner of the college was unscrupulous and was openly brazen about it. While Sherlock investigated the murder attempt on his father, Joan did most of the leg work on the college investigation. I was pleased to see her use the methods that Sherlock taught her and when they teamed up, they were able to trace the murders back to the owner.

Thanks for sharing Anti.

Somehow I overlooked this. I know what happened. I get sent to the first post after my last post, but it doesn't tell me there's anything on the next page.

And I forgot I hadn't seen this before I was here Friday. Yes, I enjoyed it too. I don't remember details now, but I know I enjoyed it.

Sherlock had a visit with a martial arts expert, but not for martial arts.

Imagine Morland thinking Sherlock wanted to kill him. I don't think that's likely. And he finally realized it wasn't.

Thanks for sharing Kyle.

[KyleEl]

I couldn't believe that man did what he did. He didn't actually confess, but he really seemed to regret it.

I hated what happened to the woman who delivered the body.

Shame on that detective who was "stalking" Watson, but at least it was for a good reason. Well, not that good.

[Deleted]

The father did it all.
The detective the was stalking Watson should be killed ASAP.

[AntiArbitrator]

I tried to imagine a typical father (not a mobster) who would go to the lengths the man did to get someone out of his son's life. Although he said he did not intend to kill the girl, he did kill people to cover up the act. That was really sad.

The detective who stalked Watson is not a nice person. Even though she thinks her motives are right, I do not like her blackmailing Watson who has done nothing to her. However, on the upside, the detective drama does give Watson her individual story line. I did know that Sherlock would not ignore the detective and would conduct his own investigation to help Joan.

Can you tell me what Sherlock found out, I forgot.

Detective Gina Cortez asked Joan to consult on a case and locate a suspect. When Holmes investigated, he learned that the man had been severely beaten the same night that Joan was asking questions about him. He told Joan that Det. Cortez was trying to set her up and make it look like Joan had attacked the man.

When she did it herself.

Yep, Cortez had done it herself.

Seems stupid to me.

Anyone see last-night episode yet?

[AntiArbitrator]

Yes, I watched it.

A View With A Room (2-11-16)

Captain Gregson's colleague from Narcotics asks Holmes to orchestrate the perfect heist inside the heavily armed and virtually impenetrable compound of a drug-dealing biker gang. Also, when Watson assists Fiona Helbron (Betty Gilpin), who helped her on a recent case, she makes a surprising discovery about Holmes.

I immediately recognized the title as a play on words for "A Room With A View". The undercover cop was not a suspect because he had been urging his captain for months to raid the bikers’ lair. Therefore, it appeared he was a good copy who wanted to see the criminals arrested.

Holmes was enthusiastic about devising a plan to infiltrate the lair so that they could get the information off of the computer. Before his plan was completed, someone killed the undercover cop. Well, that made the captain spring into action. The police raided the lair and took possession of the computer and other evidence.

I was impressed that Sherlock was able to look at the way the detective walked and determined that her gait matched the killer’s. But I should have guessed how the killer pulled off the hoax because the same ploy was used in the movie about magicians who “robbed” a bank in Switzerland (?) while they were in New York. I did not catch the reason the IT person double-crossed her partner.

It was interesting to see two awkward people begin a relationship. I wish Sherlock and Fiona make a go of it.

[Deleted]

I saw it too.

[Deleted]

This show I am caught up on shortly after it airs.

[KyleEl]

Fiona really seems to be trying hard, but it is obvious she has problems. She and Sherlock ought to do well together since he does too. I wonder if Fiona is related to the "Scorpion" Homeland Director?

I couldn't believe Sherlock was able to transform Watson's room while she slept. I didn't even recognize it when she was taking her pajamas out of the closet because I had never seen the room from that angle.

Thanks Kyle.

4.13: A Study in Charlotte (2-18-16)

A botany professor and a group of students are murdered with poisonous mushrooms; Joan makes a discovery about her neighbor (Richard Kind).

(It is a big deal that Richard Kind is added.)

[Deleted]

Thanks Anti. I forget who Richard Kind is.

I haven't seen it but he's the mayor on "Gotham". If you don't watch that show he was on "Spin City" as a wimpy PR man. He usually plays wimpy characters and he's normally funny.

He has been on a lot of shows. He was the florist who moved because he couldn't stand all the noise Sherlock made (now why doesn't that surprise me?). Watson was so nice to him when she found out how he could be persuaded to change his mind about making his old place a short-term rental.

My first thought was he was the victim because the man looked sort of like him, but he didn't behave at all like Richard Kind usually does.

That was a complicated mystery to solve. I still don't even remember who the intended victim was or why. So many possibilities to consider.

The professor murdered his estranged wife when he learned she had bought property that would earn her millions of dollars. Because they never divorced, he would inherit the property.

4.14 Who Is That Masked Man (2-25-16)

Sherlock's investigation into the attempt on Morland's life strains their relationship, and the identity of Sherlock's mother is revealed; the murders of three gang members lead to a surprising suspect.

I see, I didn't know that part.

[KyleEl]

I don't recall anyone revealing who Sherlock's mother was. Only that she was an addict too and that his father tried to deal with her problems and sent the boys away so they wouldn't have to.

I didn't think that assisted living facility was all that dismal. I've been in several lately and none of them are, and this one was even nicer than those.

Both those Chinese actors have been in a lot of TV series and movies that I have seen. The one who was younger, wasn't someone I was familiar with but I keep seeing the name.

I've seen movies that mention "The Triad" but I didn't know there was more than one.

I also live near what is called The Triad.

I was surprised Sherlock would say it wasn't possible to be a master of disguise.

Other than this I don't know what else to comment about.

[Deleted]

I didn't catch that part about his mom if he was mentioned.

[AntiArbitrator]

I think Morland hoped revealing the reason he divorced Sherlock's mother would help heal their relationship, but it seemed to refresh the hatred he has for Morland. The divorce was understandable, but invoking the prenup and leaving the lady poor caused her to live in an unsafe environment. She died when the shack caught on fire. Morland insinuated the addiction gene was passed on to Sherlock from his mother. Personally, I think that is rubbish because Mycroft did not have a drug problem.

The main problem with the assisted living facility was that the director encouraged the residents to donate to bogus charities like the one run by the Chinese. When the mortician realized a resident had been given something that led to his death, he called to warn the director. The director told the Chinese and the three "victims" were the ones who beat up the mortician. The mortician wanted to make sure they stopped fleecing the residents and used a clever means of disguise to accomplish his goal. He will not spend too much time in jail because he has a life threatening illness.

I was also surprised that Sherlock did not consider himself a master of disguise until he explained it is impossible to perfect the other person's speech pattern, walk and mannerisms.
