'Elementary' Season 5 Episode 15: Sherlock Reunites With Former Apprentice
Sherlock (Jonny Lee Miller) will reunite with a former trainee in the upcoming episode of "Elementary."
In the episode titled "Wrong Side of the Road," the synopsis (according to Spoilers Guide) reveals that Kitty Winter (Ophelia Lovibond) will come to visit Sherlock, but it is not going to be a happy reunion.
Sherlock's old protégée has come to New York bearing shocking news. According to her, they are both being targeted by a killer who is out to get revenge. The murderer is connected to one of the cases Sherlock's London team previously handled. All the others they worked with on the case are already dead and Kitty escaped to the United States to warn Sherlock about what is coming.

Kitty has another motive, however, and Joan (Lucy Liu) will discover it. The younger woman has been gone for three years, and no one can say what she has been up to in that period of time. Kitty is keeping "a life-changing secret" and Joan fears that it will have a huge effect on Sherlock. As they and the New York City Police Department track down the suspect, Joan will have to decide if she should tell Sherlock the truth about his prized student.
Last episode, the consultants investigated the case of a murdered pro-gamer. The former professional eSports video game player was killed during a live stream.
Producer/writer Jeffrey Paul King recently said in an interview that the show's foray into different genres is mainly due to their boss' encouragement. Just like when they featured eSports in the episode, all the other themes they include in the show are meticulously researched.
"Our boss is fascinated by emerging niches and cultures. We've done a bunch of episodes that touch on brand new technologies or cultures. His biggest concern is always that we do our best to get it right and that it helps us tell a compelling story. We try to avoid doing any kind of 'stunt' storytelling; that is, using a niche market for nothing more than the attention it will garner. We want to use it to help us tell an awesome story," King said in an interview with theScore esports.
"Elementary" season 5 episode 15 will air Sunday, March 5 at 10 p.m. EST on CBS.
