It ’s a reappearance of the reoccurring theatrical role this calendar week on Elementary ! We finally spend time with Alfredo for the first clock time since his snatch , Captain Gregson and Detective Bell get a shot at doing police work , and everyone engages in banter .
Spoilers ? coddler . So many spoilers .
The best moment of the latest Elementary had absolutely nothing to do with the plot of ground , but was a straightaway mid - investigation aside . Sherlock Holmes ( Jonny Lee Miller ) walks up with a brace of bicycles mid investigation , prompting the following interchange with Detective Marcus Bell ( Jon Michael Hill ):

Alexander Melville Bell : What are you doing?Holmes : These were chained to a lamppost down the street . Alexander Bell : And you figured you ’d steal them?Holmes : I ’m re - steal them . I peruse the crime blotter when I ’m world-weary , and these were stolen in Chelsea last calendar month . Bell : And you ’re just gon na walk around with ‘ em for the rest of the day?Holmes : Oh , do n’t be ridiculous . This one ’s for you .
Detective Bell does all the real work .
The case - of - the - hebdomad is chasing down the murderer of an archaeologist who was dig around abandon landfills for lost video games . ravel out the mystery breaks custom by not necessitate any crazy schemes or convoluted motivations that really want the brainiac - duo of Sherlock and Joan Watson ( Lucy Liu ) to figure out . Instead , it ’s a rather straightforward matter of slowly working through a list of suspect and obviate them . Really , the coolest thing about the mystery story was getting a retell interpretation ofAtari ’s aggregated burying of E.T. the Extra - Terrestrialin mainstream medium and an lovely snippet of household give-and-take :

Holmes : Your service has just resulted in that man ’s murder . Again . Watson : Okay , first of all , he was n’t murdered — he was zapped into another property . And second of all , he still has two lives left . Holmes : Yes , yes , of course , that ’s what happens in tangible life . If you die , you get two more chances . Somewhere , two more Eddie Rosses have just resumed dig their hole .
Never come between a girl of the ‘ 80 and her 8 - bit cabinet secret plan .
Of course Joan kicked ass as soon as Sherlock relinquished the controller to her , leaving him to sulkily ice his painful thumb . Other than that , that it was a bit strange to get so far into the technicality of toxic waste product cleanup , yet also funnily satisfying to have the case bank on such mundane police work rather of something convoluted . At its closing , Elementary continues to be satisfying in its option of villain . The murderer was n’t an ex - girl or a biz - haunt online geek , but instead a collective executive with abhorrent ethics .

It ’s all about donuts with Alfredo .
Holmes : That ’s not breakfast . Llamosa : Maybe not where you ’re from . Try one . Holmes : I did . Two years , three months , 27 day ago , when you first brought a box to a coming together . You do actualise pinkish coconuts do not occur in nature . Llamosa : Everyone else fuck these donuts . Holmes : Addicts and alcoholics often crave gelt . You put frosted rocks in a gingham box , they ’d eat those , too . Llamosa : That ’s why you flip-flop meetings ? Get proficient snacks ?
Yet again , Watson is the Florida key to chase down a secret connexion . What exactly does Sherlock bring to this relationship ?

Will our beloved Alfredo regain his sense of balance again , or is he destined to give ear multiple documentation meetings a day for the foreseeable future ? Will Everyone catch flatus of Sherlock ’s antipathy for pink - frosted donut and demand he squander one as payment for one of their favours ? Did Gregson flat - out take pity on Watson and Holmes by cast them such a aboveboard case ? What mischief is Morland up to , and when will Detective Gina Cortes reappear to shake up up more trouble ?
pet quotes this hebdomad :
Llamosa : Well , if I ’d have know hug were on the tabular array , I ’d have leave behind Chicago a lot rather .

Bell : So the proprietor of the murder weapon system is a left - handed archaeologist . How many of those can there be in New York City ?
Holmes : Put the tidings “ vintage ” in front of ice feeding bottle , cameras , trading cards — you could rick a tidy net income .
Holmes : A company opts not to release a bad product , that ’s one thing . They decide this product is so colossally bad it has to forget the whole inventory , that ’s the stuff of fable .

Oliver Wendell Holmes : If the Holy Grail were a plod , pixelated failure banished to a dump .
Oliver Wendell Holmes : It would seem my week has a theme of center - aged workforce clinging to pubescent glory via collectibles .
Arthur Holmes : In the same elbow room that many drug drug user only relate to one another because they use drug , the thing that Alfredo and I did together was not use them , so … It is a conundrum , to be sure .

Holmes : According to my research , Swords of Saturn was one of the best game of the epoch . If Nottingham Knights was one of the worst , then consignment to a landfill was too kind a destiny .
Holmes : We mistrust that your career as a composer of capitulum - splitting digital medicine peaked in the early ‘ 80s .
Clyde status : Presumably make off by Ms. Hudson for an escapade in location unknown .
