Favorite line: "For what it's worth, he's not bringing his wife either." (Joan's line to Gregson, "...and a penis", is in second place.)
I did not know I needed scenes between Gregson and Joan until we got them? Which is pretty much how I feel between any interactions on this show, I don't think I need any scenes between any specific characters until we get them (...well, maybe that's not wholly true--am still waiting on one-on-one scenes/interactions with Marcus and Joan. I might ship them a little?)
I was actually surprised that the ending scene showed Joan&Sherlock encountering Irene? Like, I think I must've thought there was a good chance she was alive and that she faked her death, but I didn't want to dwell too much on it because that'd have meant she and Moriarty were in cahoots together. Or maybe, now that I am dwelling on it, the situation, whatever it is, is much more complicated then Irene and Moriarty conspiring together, but my imagination is limited on that front so I elected to not think about it. IDK. Whatever Irene's mystery is, it's probably tied up with Moriarty and whichever way you slice the cake, it doesn't spell anything but trouble.
Or, and I was thinking that this felt the most sense to me personally, Irene is a hallucination? Because Joan never really focuses her eyes on Irene, I don't think, and it's making me believe that it's all in Sherlock's head. The ending scene is suspect mostly because it doesn't feel like Sherlock is removed from the case and therefore able to remain objective.
Speaking of Sherlock being compromised because of the case: I was ready to scream at him for lying to Joan about Moriarty not getting in touch with him toward the end...the disappointment in him was very brief because Joan showed up. YAY for Joan! I love when she's so awesome like that. And putting the men in her life in their place about whether something is too dangerous for her or not.
(In one of my many, many original stories that I dare not commit to outside of my brain, I had thought up of a story of a romance between a cop and a superhero/vigilante/dude with so many issues that pretty much the climax/conflict of it was that the superhero/vigilante faked his death, and his partner-in-crime [a lady who might or might not have been a lesbian/bisexual who found out what her partner was doing and threatened to expose him if he didn't let her in on the superheroing business--no matter how much our superhero didn't like that idea] and the cop found out it was because he was trying to stay off the mob's radar--basically the mob is a family business. This is all a long winded way of saying I'm a hypocrite for not liking this story line on Elementary that much when, if given a chance, I'd do /the same exact/ thing.)
Not a spoiler: I'm so fucking excited for the two hour season finale next week.
