* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Those effortless SherlockScan's where Holmes figures out everything about a person from a quick glance? It turns out others don't like have their history repeated back to them and spoken of as a science experiment with Watson harshly admonishing Holmes for bringing up his fractured relationship with his brother in such an insensitive manner with Holmes even admitting he was being a jerk in doing so. The story also shows that Holmes doesn't just pull that knowledge out of nothing. It's the result of hours spent reading over ridiculously dull topics on the off chance that said knowledge might come in handy.
