* In "Ears to You", Lestrade gets his groove back with a little help or maybe not from Joan and Sherlock, and hunts down the guy who mugged him. His only regret is that it was too easy. Because of it being too easy, he becomes convinced that Sherlock conspired to help him in the case by pretending to be two witnesses that Lestrade interviewed. Sherlock confesses to this, then privately confides in Joan that he has never heard of either witness in his life. He was just telling Lestrade what he wanted to hear and Lestrade solved the mugging on his own.

* In "Breathe", we are introduced to Joan's lawyer. Although not particularly malicious, he refuses to acknowledge the mistakes he made for her case. Joan is hesitant bringing up the issue with Sherlock, as she rightfully points out Sherlock will no doubt find ways to ruin the man's reputation, but it will likely hurt all the lawyer's other clients. What does Sherlock do? Use his father's connections to bring royalty into the case, one King Wilhelm of Bohemia. The lawyer had been helping Prince Havel with some less-than-legal cases, and Joan now has a letter from the king threatening to undo all the work and bury the lawyer in legal troubles. Needless to say, he admitted to all his mistakes and backed out of representing Joan.

* After Hannah Gregson's best friend is murdered by Michael Rowan, Hannah studies everything relating to the Michael Rowan case and correctly identifies, on her own, where Michael went after his run in with Joan which the more resourced FBI, police department and Sherlock could not find (bear in mind in an earlier episode Hannah's detective abilities are deamed to be mediocre). She is also at short notice able to arrange the body to be moved by an associate.

* The original victim in “Dead Clade Walking” gets one for his expertly improvised hiding place for the illegally smuggled fossil, [[HiddenInPlainSight in the decorative rock wall in his backyard.]] It manages to remain hidden for multiple years after being sought by at least three separate parties, including a paleontologist, the smuggler who gave it to him and who had personally handled the fossil before, and Sherlock himself!

* "Bella": Quite simply, TheBadGuyWins. Against Sherlock. Because he's so intelligent he realizes Sherlock is bluffing when he threatens to turn in Pike's brother, because he ''knows'' Sherlock has too much of a soul. Give this man a round of applause, folks, he's probably in a very exclusive club.
