** "Lots of Animals" looked like a calm episode where Sherlock, Moriarty, and Watson investigate the deaths of some zoo animals until the second half of the episode [[spoiler:where one of the zookeepers was murdered by three crazed fangirls of Momotaros (the band that Sherlock, Moriarty, and Watson investigate in the previous episode). After the three girls confessed that they want the main trio to pay for disbanding their favorite band, they flee from the scene only to be cornered by Moriarty. By the time Sherlock arrives to apprehend the girls, he watches in horror when the girls utter another strange code and burned themselves to death while Moriarty watches on in a very disturbingly calm manner. Meanwhile, the media has published a story regarding Mayor Moran's connection to Jack the Ripper]].
