The Crooked Man - Part Two
Summary
Sherlock and Co. investigate the death of James, whose skull fractured against a dining table after a confrontation with his wife, Nancy, and a mysterious magician known as the Crooked Man. The team deduces that James was not struck by a weapon but fell backward, while Nancy fled after spotting her ex-fiancé, Henry Garrick Wood, who vanished from a stage in 1988. A mongoose explains the cat's injuries, and the episode concludes with the children receiving comfort as Henry is apprehended.
