Elementary season 3, episode 2, “The Five Orange Pipz,” airs tonight on CBS. Find out what makes these particular “Pipz” worthy of Holmes and Watson’s attention!
This week Holmes and Waston are thrown back together on a case that neither could resist. Two victims are murdered within hours of one another, each receiving an envelope containing five orange beads. How can you pass that up? Elementary season 3, episode 2, “The Five Orange Pipz,” reimagines the tale of Elias Openshaw and a case involving five orange seeds from Doyle’s source material. However, Watson welcoming Holmes into the investigation also means that Kitty Winter will tag along.
Previously on ‘Elementary’
Sherlock returns from England to a welcome that is not quiet what he expected. Joan arrives at the brownstone suspecting that Sherlock sent an anonymous tip to the NYPD that identified an assassin in her case. In their first painful confrontation Joan makes it very clear that she is not ready to fully forgive Sherlock for running away, leaving nothing more than a five sentence note.
Joan has been carrying her own weight at the precinct in his absence, working as a PI in her spare time. Sherlock’s interest in a closed room murder mystery leads him to insert himself into the case. He works around the roadblocks of not being officially reinstated until Joan offers her blessing. Watson and Kitty Winter get off to a rocky start, but ultimately she allows Sherlock to return to the NYPD on one condition: he is no longer her partner.
This week on ‘Elementary’
Elementary‘s season 3 premiere laid a lot of groundwork for the characters to build on this season. No longer the source of the gravitational pull, Sherlock and Joan need to work as two detectives orbiting the same case without colliding. This week will be the first test of their compatibility as we saw Sherlock earlier, seeking permission from Joan to co-consult.

Kitty and Sherlock are about to work on their first full fledged case as co-consultants with Joan on a double homicide. But Kitty’s observations of the old partners leaves her with a sour taste in her mouth rather than the urge to learn from their dynamic. Will this put the case in danger?
