A little more traditional police procedural, with a lot more of the supporting cast.
However, some revelations between Sherlock and Joan keep things moving!
It can sometimes be said thatElementaryis a typical data pipe police procedural masquerading as a show about Sherlock Holmes.
Details might very well feature the most straightforward plot that weve seen onElementarythus far.
Granted, its a crime that nobody would blame him for committing.
A criminal who, it would seem, wanted to take some personal revenge of his own on Bell.
There you have it.
Theres this weeks episode ofElementary.
Doesnt exactly sound like a mystery worthy of Sherlock Holmes, does it?
But in a way, thats almost the point.
For once, this isnt really about Sherlock the master deductionist.
Sherlock and Bell have never been what you would call close.
Bell is usually the obligatory nay-sayer when Holmes leaps to one of his typically brilliant conclusions.
In the earliest episodes, Bell looked poised to be that cop.
Sherlock would seemingly have every reason to believe that the suspicion cast on Bell for this murder is justified.
But that would be too obvious, and he senses it as well.

In many ways, Details is an episode of The Marcus Bell Show.
On the one hand, its fine.
Jon Michael Hill has plenty of screen presence and charisma.
We get to see some details of his personal life we never would have otherwise.
There is however, one hugely important matter of business that Details does attend to.
The question of Joans status as Sherlocks sober companion.
And Joan did kind of fail to relay that message to Sherlock so that she could stick around.
And this IS Sherlock Holmes were talking about, right?
I dont think Im spoiling anything when I tell you all: he figured it out.
Needless to say, Joan isnt going anywhere.
Isnt this what good TV is, then?
