Finale, my dear Elementary!

Elementary’s first season is drawing to a close. Sky Living won’t be following the lead of CBS in the US, by scheduling the last two episodes back-to-back on the one night, instead they will be spread over 2 weeks.

In ‘The Woman’ (23/24), ‘flashbacks reveal Sherlock’s descent into addiction, while in the present he has to deal with the unexpected return of someone very important from his past.’ This episode is on Tuesday 21 May 2013, repeated Friday (24th).

The final episode is listed for Tuesday 28 May, repeated Friday 31 May. The plotline for ‘The Heroine’ (24/24) reads: ‘After realizing that things (and people) are not what they seem, Sherlock tries to stop his archenemy’s elaborate plot to tamper with the relations between two European countries.’

If that’s not enough for die-hard fans, Sky Living’s website should be able to bridge some of the gaps in your knowledge. Elementary will return next year to Sky Living with season 2.
