During a robbery at the ET Enterprises office building, a guard is murdered but not before he shoots one of the culprits. The thieves stole a couple of hundred of the new Verzia 8 smart phones but Holmes is convinced there was more to the robbery than this. The investigation is made difficult by a massive snow storm that has hit the city, shutting every thing down in a state of emergency. Holmes and Watson pay a snow plow driver to drive them around. The detective work in this episode is especially intriguing and very well done. But the most memorable aspect of the show is the introduction of Miss Hudson who is certainly not anything like the Mrs. Hudson we remember from the Conan Doyle stories. For one thing she's transgender and for another she is not unprepossessing. She is brilliant and suffers a bit from OCD. Some serious Conan Doyle fans may find this new development not to their liking but I find it to be delightfully quirky. This series keeps getting better.

My review about the previous episode mentioned a big loose end (left me confused) that could have easily been tied off. Well, I laughed during the final scene of this episode as Sherlock is seen using a paintbrush to cast fake blood spatter on the floor and Joan walks in and ties off the last loose end...the money. I do take issue with a snowplow driver "on standby" DURING a massive snowstorm in NYC. Really? After over 30 years in the Upper Midwest, I got tired of long winters and moved south to a warm climate. Before I left, what added insult to injury was the state had cut its snow removal budget so instead of constantly plowing state highways while it's snowing, they weren't plowing anything until the snow ended. It sucked.
