Favorite Quotes:
* Joan: Maybe we should wait till Marcus gets here. She could be a murderer.
Sherlock: Even if she is she’s a poisoner. Just don’t eat or drink anything and you should be ok.
* Joan: Ok, if you say it’s for the greater good I am going to punch you.
* Sherlock: Griffin you seem like an exemplary young man. Perhaps you’d like to explain to me why you have a drug lab in your back yard?
* Sherlock: What about murder? Is that part of your business model as well?
* Sherlock: No. We are here to see the fight or flight response in person. You’re being arrested for the murder of Charlotte Konig.
