In "Elementary" Season 4 episode 2 entitled "Evidence of Things Not Seen", Morland Holmes (John Noble) continues to get closer to his son and help him with his case and his life. Meanwhile, a revealing moment of a possible return of Jamie Moriarty (Natalie Dormer) made during the first episode gives speculations on a reunion with Sherlock's ex. Viewers will also get to know another Holmes this season.
In the synopsis posted on The Futon Critic, Sherlock Holmes (Jonny Lee Miller) and Joan Watson (Lucy Liu) are hesitant on Morland's (John Noble) true motivation to help. In the first episode, Morland, a powerful consultant with powerful contacts, flew to New York from London after hearing of his son's relapse.
One of the things that the Holmes patriarch will do, according to Design & Trend, will be that of Morland offering "to use his influence to have Sherlock and Joan reinstated as consultants in the New York Police Department."
Viewers will see less of Captain Gregson (Aidan Quinn) and Detective Bell (John Michael Hill) as the duo works with the Federal Bureau of Investigation. In an interview with TV Guide, series creator Rob Doherty said that working with the FBI will be "a very precarious time for Sherlock and Joan, and they have to take work where they can find it." The team will be investigating a triple homicide in a top-secret research lab.
In the same interview, Doherty revealed a few details about Sherlock's mother and that they "feel like we have an obligation at some point this season to flesh out that story and explain why she is not featured on the show alongside Mr. Holmes". However, they need to find the right moment in revealing more on the story of Mrs. Holmes.
Meanwhile, a scene in episode one where Sherlock told Joan to keep in touch just as he and Moriarty do depicts a possible comeback for Jamie Moriarty. It may not be soon however because of Natalie Dormer's busy schedule. Doherty earlier revealed that she reached out to Natalie regarding a possible return for this season and the door is not shut on her possible return.
Elementary Season 4 airs every Thursday night at 10pm on CBS.
