On a sleepless night, our three boys trade stories of their younger years. Watson tells a tale of his college years, Holmes of an early case with Inspector Lestrade, and the Doctor of one of the many run-ins with the Master during his third life.
This TARDISode Provides Examples of:
- Bottle Episode
- Foreshadowing: For the season finale. Oh boy.
- Holmes fondly recalls his favorite teacher. In the finale, we learn the real identity of "Professor Newman."
- The Doctor compares his relationship with the Master to Watson's friendship with Holmes, thinking that Watson will never have to know the pain of having a friend turned dark. Fast-forward three episodes...
- Framing Device: It's the aftermath of "Stolen," and the Doctor & Co are gathered in the kitchen for midnight snacks.
- Lighter and Fluffier
- Team Dad: One of the most blatant examples to date of the Doctor playing this to his current Companions when he carries to bed a sleeping Sherlock Holmes.
