* GPSEvidence: After the mechanical dinosaurs blow up the rubber factory, Holmes finds a pebble clinging to the owner's body which, because of its lack of singeing, had to have become attached to his clothes immediately before he was flung through the window. It is a type of rock found in only one place in Britain, which happens to be near Holmes' boyhood home. [[spoiler:Given we later learn that the BigBad is Sherlock's brother, it is entirely possible it was placed there deliberately for Sherlock to find.]]
