Sherlock is determined to find the murderer. He must save Joan. Will he be able to prevent the bloodshed?
Last episode, Sherlock and Joan were investigating a confusing case. A clown was murdered and his body was left in the woods. The consultants were called in to check how the man died. He had no marks on his body and it looked like he was poisoned. When the duo looked around the crime scene, they spotted the filtration system supplying potable water in the New York area. There was residue in the water and Sherlock believed he knew what it was. It was a super virus. The clown must have seen something, hence he was eliminated.
