Season 1 β13 [ edit ]. Joan Watson is hired by Morland Holmes to be the sober companion of his recovering addict son Sherlock, who used to work for Scotland Yard as a consultant on homicides. The day of his release, Sherlock escapes from rehab to help Captain Gregson with the case of a woman who was attacked and supposedly kidnapped, only to find her body in a concealed safe room.
Sherlock believes that the killer is probably a serial killer, finding similarities to another case, except that this victim survived. After interviewing the woman, Sherlock deduces she knows the man who attacked her.
The suspect, however, is dead, seemingly a suicide. Sherlock concludes that the second victim's psychiatrist husband gave his patient, the killer, steroids that made him violent, rather than pills to calm him down, then arranged for him to come into contact with the psychiatrist's wife.
