The two episodes bring attention back the Sandman case which the team starts to take another look at once Jamison Boyd (Jared Bankens) tells Vera (Diany Rodriguez) he isn’t the sniper responsible for the murders and the real culprit shoots  him dead in the prison yard. “Bugs” spends quite a bit of time with Vera and her theories, which then bring in the rest of the team, while “Darlin’, Don’t Refrain” brings in the FBI to work alongside NIS to find the real Sandman who it turns out Gibbs (Austin Stowell) has already met.

The death of Ms. Pearl (Marla Gibbs) in “A Funeral Fit for a Quartermaine” is the precipitating event for Will (Ramón Rodríguez) and the team to wrap up the Rafael Wexford (Antwayn Hopper) case in an episode that devotes multiple segments to giving us a young Rafael (Yannick Haynes) and Will (Andres Velez) highlighting the ebbs and flows of their relationship including their first meeting. The segments provide a bit more backstory but lacks any shocking revelations. Despite their turmoil, the pair come together to honor the woman they both loved and plan a funeral together (which Will uses to spy on Rafael and Rafael uses for money laundering purposes) before getting caught in a shoot-out at the funeral.

  • IMDb: link

Introducing them first separately before throwing the two characters together, we witness Sherlock Holmes (David Thewlis) refusing to take several cases in the notable absence of Dr. Watson. We also witness the resilient Amelia Rojas (Blu Hunt) make her way from New York to London and, through a bit of quick thinking and subterfuge, find her way to the great detective as his new maid. What Amelia is really after is for Holmes, who she believes to be her father, to help solve her mother’s murder. Also, in the coincidence that keeps them together long enough for Holmes to get a feel for the young woman, she is determined to help solve the disappearance of a wealthy young girl (Gia Hunter) she met on the ship from America (apparently one of many targeted by the mysterious “Thread”).
