Gregson interrogates him. Bell pulls him out. The finger prints don’t match. Mycroft tries to console the two. Sherlock believes he used false fingerprints. The next morning Sherlock pokes Joan’s bed to wake Joan and make sure Mycroft is not in it with her. He discusses a new lead with her. They are off to visit a retired sheriff. She tells them about a homeless drunk who was hung up on Strawdog Jed. He went missing and left 10 bottles of alcohol behind. She takes them to the area where he use to sleep.
