Moriarty Makes His Big Play Against the Twins in Part 1 of 'Watson's Finale
The last episode of Watson left off on a terrifying cliffhanger when Dr. Adam (Peter Mark Kendall) kissed his girlfriend Lauren (Amanda Crew), who we know was wearing lipstick tainted by Moriarty (Randall Park). That meant a sigh of relief when this week's episode opened with Dr. Stephens (Also PMK) and Dr. Adam investigating a bunker beneath the Holmes Clinic's new patient's apartment. They discovered a fridge full of black mold, which Adam also ingested because he wasn't wearing a mask. That was sure to have some mitigating consequences on whatever Moriarty had planned, but in the beginning, Adam seemed fine. That would soon not be the case.
Meanwhile, John (Morris Chestnut) was so focused on a new article about the clinic that would help the team build their library of genetic mutations that he didn't realize Moriarty himself strolled right into the clinic. Ingrid (Eva Harlow) was very aware of who the stranger complaining of migraines was and immediately volunteered to help him. Secluded in a clinic exam room, Moriarty revealed he wanted Ingrid to sabotage John's latest project by pouring sugar packets into the samples, and then she "would be free."
This latest project of John's appeared to be Moriarty's prime target, and Ingrid at least figured out who was manipulating her, though that didn't stop her from going through with the plan. Little did she know, Moriarty wasn't asking her to set back John's research by a few weeks, but was actually ensuring his master plan to take out Adam worked out.
