-->'''Holmes''': Worrying about the origin of her issues is counterproductive. In doing so you risk making her substance abuse about you, when in fact your energy and hers are best spent focusing on her recovery.
-->'''Gregson''': You think I don’t know that?
-->'''Holmes''': I think that you’re in pain, and despite our recent troubles, that bothers me. Look, my father was an abject failure as both a parent and a human being, but when it came to my own struggles he did one thing right: He kept my recovery about me. You’re ten times the man he is, so if he can do right by me, I’m confident that you can do right by Hannah, but only once you move past blame.
[[AC: 08 – Sand Trap]]
* Although polite, the pregnant young lady staying with Joan first seems judgmental of Joan’s lifestyle. She later describes how her pregnancy came completely unexpected, her dating life didn’t start until college and her conservative parents particularly threw a party when she decided to give the baby up for adoption. Hearing how Joan gave up her life as a doctor, reconcile with her parents, and having a partner like Sherlock describe how amazing Joan was, made her realize that she wanted to keep her baby despite the sacrifices she will have to make.
* Sherlock does not understand Joan’s interest in a child, but is willing to support her because she is worth it. He tells her that he is willing to make adjustments, even offering to move out of their home as he is well aware living with a former addict will ruin her chances. Joan assures him that is not what she wants.
* After learning about his daughter’s alcoholism, the last thing Gregson wants to do is talk to Sherlock. Sherlock reminds him that this is not about him or Gregson, it’s about Hannah and her sobriety.

* During an interrogation in “Our Time is Up”, a suspect jumps off the building. We cut to a scene of Sherlock visiting the injured man in the hospital.
-->'''Suspect:''' They told me you spent the night here, I guess we never finished our talk.
-->'''Holmes:''' No, I just wanted to make sure you were okay.
** This episode also had some touching moments between Joan and her half-sister Lin, with some highlights below:
-->'''Lin:''' You’re not upset because you violated some sacred trust between you and your psychiatrist. You're upset because someone you liked and respected and admired – someone whose job it was to help people figure out their lives - thought you should be a mommy….You’re strong, smart, funny, driven, compassionate, she added all that up, and somehow she came up with the one thing you were not – a mom. I’m sorry, but I think that stinks. Everything that she saw in you, all your best qualities, they’re not the things that would make you a great mother, they’re what makes you a great detective, a great friend and a great sister.
