Need to stay warm this winter? Sherlock has suggestions for both Joan and Clyde in our exclusive sneak peek of tonight’s Elementary!
Clyde’s 2016 debut is about as chilly as Sherlock’s inquiry into Joan’s dating life on tonight’s all new Elementary season 4, episode 9, “Murder Ex Machina.” In the absence of steady weather patterns for Clyde and a noticeable shortage of companions for Joan, Sherlock tries to solve both of his housemates’ winter blues. But will Joan cozy up to Sherlock’s suggestion as easily as Clyde?
Sherlock did not approve when he suspected Joan and Bell were sneaking around outside of work last week, but that does not mean that he is not concerned by the air of loneliness circling about his partner. Joan, on the other hand, is perfectly happy worrying about her own social calendar. And it will not remain empty for long when an unexpected guest appears on her itinerary tonight. Morland Holmes invites Joan to join him for dinner — alone.
Joan may not have a companion in sight, but Elementary is not short on relationship casting news in season 4. Captain Gregson has been on the market since his trial separation became more permanent at the start of season 3. Virginia Madsen will join the Elementary team later this year as a detective who experienced a scandal that resulted in her removal from the force.
Even Sherlock Holmes, the man who can only truly be satisfied by the woman, crosses paths with someone who captures his attention tonight! Introducing Fiona Helbron (Betty Gilpin), a software engineer with an extraordinary talent for making machines communicate and less than extraordinary people skills. That is until she captures the interest of Sherlock Holmes. One quirk Sherlock is sure to find fascinating is Fiona’s inability to lie. Fiona and Sherlock may be able to connect on a unique level, but we’ll see how he responds to all of those cats.
How will Sherlock meet Fiona? The same way most detectives find their potential dates — chasing down a group of hackers while investigating the murder of a Russian billionaire.
Watch Elementary season 4, episode 9, “Murder Ex Machina,” tonight at 10:00 p.m. ET on CBS.
