I thought it was pretty good. Mystery wasn't exactly compelling, but the sometimes-painful awkwardness of Sherlock's conversations with Randy were interesting. I think it's interesting to seem him entrusted with that kind of responsibility, and how he's choosing to act instead of completely distancing himself from it.

It's interesting to see how in the episode Sherlock was struggling to 'be a good person.' It's interesting that he's already internalized Joan's perspective to the point where he assumes he knows what advice she would have given him about Randy.

I had hoped that Sherlock would have been more forthcoming about his own struggles with drugs in order to help Randy... I think it was a bit of a missed chance for him to show some vulnerability like when he talked to Gregson about his past drug use.

Yeah, but I also think it's realistic to think that Sherlock wouldn't be willing to open up to Randy, someone who was relatively new to Sherlock's little circle of allies/friends in New York. Sherlock only very reluctantly agreed to even listen to Randy, so maybe in a future episode he'll be more willing to talk to him.
