Its also the first that doesnt in any way reckon with Sherlocks potentially criminal actions from last season.
The episode begins with Sherlock and Watson handcuffed to chairs in their brownstone.
Theyre not captives though.

Joan gets out seconds later and they see the message is from Joans old friends at the hospital.
At the hospital, a lab tech in the fertility clinic named Abby Campbell has gone missing.
Thats when Sherlock mentions that Abbys husband is an oncologist and clearly a suspect.
See, Abby actually had Stage 4 pancreatic cancer and had maybe a year to live.
He was trying to cure her cancer, so why would he kill her?
What would his motive be?
He does this while listening to Rebecca Black to make it infuriate Watson.
He also likes the Baha Men, for the record, because Who Let The Dogs Out?
appeals to his love of mysteries.
What Sherlock discovers in the security footage is that Abby was having an affair before she died.
Could he be the killer theyre looking for?
They go to his house and find Dr. Fisher there as well.
Its money that Abby never got back and the two have fought over it ever since.
While all of this is going on, a cop named Cortes is also investigating Watson.
She could sell them for upward of $10,000 to the right buyer.
The lab has since been burnt down though, meaning all the evidence from the tests are gone.
While he seems innocent, Watson does find something strange.
And who was the oncologist that made that diagnosis?
