The man gets up and turns the gas stove and space heater off.

The man in the hoodie begins pouring gasoline over everything and then burns the place to the ground.

The question is why did someone want Eddie dead?

Perhaps, then, Eddie found something that somebody else wanted badly enough to justify killing him.

Sherlock and Watson manage to track down potential landfill sites where Eddie was digging.

It turns out that he has some information that they need.

That leads the detectives to analyze the message boards where Eddie was updating his search results.

That puts the detectives back at square one.

Sherlock says he has been going to meetings, just not the same ones anymore.

He wants to switch up his routine and start fresh.

But at what cost, to both him and Alfredo?

He goes to see Alfredo and tells him openly and honestly why he hasnt been to the same meetings.

As Sherlock puts it: They dont have much else in common other thannotdoing drugs.

Thatd be some serious buyers remorse.

That leads the detectives to question the building manager, Mr. Byrne.

Despite his reluctance to being questioned, the detectives have all the facts already.

Eddie found some toxic barrels while he was digging and informed Mr. Byrne for one reason or another.

Records show multiple barrels in the landfill, and yet Mr. Byrnes property is two barrels short.

Sure, he couldnt have killed him, but he could have hired someone to do it for him.

With the case solved, all thats left is for Sherlock to visit Alfredo again.

Thus, the two stay in for the night, cook dinner, and chat.

Their friendship may be built on not doing drugs, but their bond seems to run deeper.
