@ELEMENTARYStaff clever story tonight. Kudos! While I enjoy the comedy in #Elementary I prefer eps like tonight's. more intense.

The following gifs are also available on this Tumblr post. I co-host the Baker Street Podcast as well, which you can hear below or find on iTunes.We start with the murder of cop Alec Flynn. Sherlock makes a big scene of his first clue. Granted, it’s the most significant clue of the episode: the cop was carrying a fake gun.
@Elementary_CBS @ELEMENTARYStaff Love how he asked everyone not to be alarmed, but when he draws the gun its a toy, lol #Elementary

Officer Flynn watched "Let's Be Cops" one too many times. And...kinda forgot what his actual job was. #Elementary

Joan picks up on the next significant clue when she uses her sober companion knowledge to deduce that Alec had been an addict and sold all of his things for drug money. He had blamed his partner for getting into a car accident, in which he was injured and required addictive pain medicine. The partner is innocent, however, and we soon learn that Alec took his addiction way too far. In fact, Watson finds that Alec sold his own gun for drug money. Not only that, surveillance shows that he sold many other cop guns from the armory and replaced them with toys as well!
Flynn bought the gun himself? This is getting weirder. #Elementary #tvtag http://t.co/QMwTZ1C1H5

Meanwhile, Sherlock learns from a fellow drug abuse group member that all of his significant revelations concerning addiction have been posted on a Tumblr blog called "Brain Attic" (even the title is one of Sherlock's ideas). He spends much of his time and effort trying to fix the situation, leaving Joan to find most of the clues on the case.
Someone introduce Sherlock to Cafe Press. He'd make a fortune slapping his own quotes on stuff. #Elementary

After realizing that Alec had basically begun selling off guns to arms dealers, then trading that money with a drug runner known as "6," the other cops decide that Alec was not a cop after all. Perhaps he should not even be considered human.Kitty comes up with a clue as well, noticing from a surveillance camera that the inhuman-cop killer has a glass eye. This leads to a man known as Buros. They are too late in finding him, however, and he kills another cop.
"We'll keep you apprised of our search for the one-eyed man." - Sherlock. At least it's not a one-armed man. #Elementary

The one eyed man has struck again #Elementary

Buros isn't a big fan of uniformed police officers. :( #Elementary

Back in the Brain Attic, Kitty helps Sherlock find the man responsible for destroying his help-group anonymity: a douchebag named Daren. He refuses to take down the site, even after Sherlock tells him directly that the site is threatening his own sobriety.
That doesn’t give you an excuse not to cite Sherlock Holmes. (I hate it when people don’t credit the creator/originator.) #Elementary

Brain attic. amagdyla!!! #elementary

Are you f@&king kidding me? This dude would risk someone's sobriety to keep the page up? #Elementary
— Breezy (soSHalanZietE) December 19, 2014
Daren the Douchebag is confronted more forcefully inside the group meeting room, where Sherlock threatens to tell his wife that he is cheating (based on clues he picks up while standing within make-out distance of him). This is one of the best scenes Jonny Lee Miller has ever delivered on Elementary. Excellent!
Why are we not talking more about the way #Elementary handles mental illness, addiction, and therapy? Incredible character work.

@ELEMENTARYStaff Okay, I just love when Sherlock goes on a rant like that! 👍😂👏 And only JLM could so brilliantly deliver it! 👏 #Elementary

If someone asks you to take down the stuff you purloined from them, you do it and apologize profusely. #Elementary

Scary Sherlock is scary. #Elementary

The second murdered cop turns out to be a legitimately good guy. Sherlock uses another of his odd brain exercises by sending blow-arrows through a photo of Buros, and the representation of Alec's drug runner.
Now Joan and Kitty know what to get Sherlock for Christmas. Archery equipment! #Elementary
— Kristy (lokistiel) December 19, 2014
I like how Kitty and Joan just at each other like 'no, not really surprised at this right now'...#Elementary

Remember Sherlock, when using a dart gun, blow out, don't inhale. #Elementary

Can I have that blowpipe too? #Elementary

Zen archery? Where are the @ArrowWriters for this one, @ELEMENTARYStaff? #Elementary

Joan makes yet another connection, realizing that "6" is the number on a football jersey, leading to one of Alec's buddies from a football team. The only clue he provides is a quote from Buros: "There's more than one way to use a guy like Alec." With that, Sherlock concludes that Buros is raiding the armory while all the cops are at the funeral for the second cop he killed (Alec's funeral had been canceled on account of him being a sorry excuse for a human being).
#Elementary Raiding the armory during a cop's funeral. That's low, man.

Wow, this is using the obituaries to plan robberies on a new level. #Elementary
— hoosier jedi (hoosierjedi) December 19, 2014
Diabolical, but damn clever plan, divide and conquer #Elementary

Buros is successful with his raid, causing Sherlock to kick himself for being so preoccupied with Daren's plagiarism. Joan saves the day again though, connecting fibers left from Daren's boots with upholstery knives from one of his raided storage containers. Sherlock closes the loop with the realization that Buros was acting very quickly, as if he was on a deadline. The revelations remove truck and plane as possible modes of gun shipment, leaving cargo ship. Buros' gun shipment is located and taken down!
...oh crap. Is he going to relapse now? Like *right now*? #Elementary

Sherlock is hurting, he doesn’t want pizza. HE WANTS TO MAKE YORKSHIRE PUDDINGS, OBVS. #Elementary

Well done Watson. She figured out what the ATF didn't. #Elementary

I love it when Sherlock can bring it all together in one very long sentence #Elementary #PerkTV #PerkTVLive

Later, the cops prove that they have a sense of humor when they arrest Buros with a knock knock joke.
This guy must be an idiot if he took the time to write "who's there?" instead of thinking this is weird & getting out of there. #Elementary
— Mindy Haltiwanger (westwingwolf) December 19, 2014
He did not just type "Who's there?"!!!!! #Elementary
— Kira Ebert (kebert2thumbsup) December 19, 2014
But then they prove that they were only getting him in a light-hearted mood so that they could humiliate him entirely in front of the whole police force. Now he feels even more stupid for falling for that knock knock joke.
Ok... THAT's the way to do a perp walk! @Elementary_CBS @ELEMENTARYStaff #Elementary

Oh, that is quite an intimidating reception. And still his clients are probably more intimidating, #Elementary

@ELEMENTARYStaff @LucyLiu @jonnyjlm that was a ridiculously emotional scene with the police getting together. Thank youm #Elementary

#Elementary such a stunning, goose bump inducing moment @ELEMENTARYStaff

OMG!!! SO POWERFUL!! I'M IN TEARS! #Elementary Justice has just begun!!!
— Lou (lviper40_laura) December 19, 2014
At the end of the episode, we see that Daren has taken down Brain Attic and replaced it with "I'M SORRY." Unfortunately, Sherlock still decides to quit sharing in his help group, at least for now. Poor Sherlock!
I'm so mad that that guy ruined Sherlock's experience. Now he's all uncomfortable. #Elementary
— Brian Fear (Secret3ch) December 19, 2014
@ELEMENTARYStaff The entire show was brilliant, from the planning, writing, acting. It never disappoints. Well done!👏👏👏 #Elementary
