Did I miss something or is this the only episode that hasn't shown the opening credits so far?

Ngl the Polish guy with his lazy translations made me giggle.

Too much plot for one episode! Did the original client really kill his chauffeur? What happened to him--did he get the satisfaction of knowing he was right? That was such a nice setup for the character to have been shrugged away. I wanted some personal resolution with him. Why didn't the cops check the suspect for a defensive wound that would have sprayed blood past the murdered woman onto the painting? Not enough Gregson.

But Holmes was warm and human in dealing with people. No addiction references, hooray! Cute drycleaner subplot, if unbelievable. Holmes scrubbing the refrigerator! Coaching Joan without ridiculing her. And solitary, flower petal nest building bee, that makes my heart glad.

I enjoyed the episode for the most part but I agree with unovis_ljthere was a lot going on and it needed more resolution. It almost needed another 1/2 hour to tie everything up. I did like the domestic bits between Sherlock and Joan, with the fridge and the dry-cleaning.

Also the look on Watson's face when Sherlock had her analyze the crime scene on the spot, was priceless. Very funny.
