When someone mentions postage you automatically think of illegal diamond trading, right? Find out what connects the two on this week’s Elementary season 3, episode 5, “Rip Off.”
The fifth episode of the season will take a detour to loop another character back into the mix. Unfortunately Clyde’s emotional upheaval that results from his guardians “trying to make it work” will have to wait for another time. Captain Gregson’s personal life is open for the station to examine once again. Meanwhile, Sherlock and Kitty venture to connect the physical strength of a bodybuilder, the murder of a postal worker, and an illegal diamond trade to one another.
‘Rip Off’ Stills:
What to expect:
Synopsis: “Rip Off — Sherlock and Kitty investigate the murder of a small postal store owner whose death is connected to the illegal diamond trade. Also, Captain Gregson puts his career in jeopardy when he hits a fellow NYPD officer.”
Captain Gregson commands his emotions quiet well and the only person to get the best of him in a physical way was Sherlock way back in season 1. But what could lead him to hit a fellow police officer? This week’s guest star, Liza Bennett (12 Years a Slave) will play Officer Hannah Gregson. Like father, like daughter, Hannah’s career path leads her to embark on a life as a member of the force.
Even though Tommy Gregson is the Captain, he will not receive any special treatment from the department when he hits another officer after hearing of his daughter’s interoffice romance going sour.
Gregson is not the only one butting heads with someone he shouldn’t this week. Sherlock heads to the gym when his investigation leads him to believe a man’s arm was ripped off his body. What better way to test the physics of the method than to challenge the largest bodybuilder to an arm wrestling match?
