Episode #13 - 'Red Team'

I think this has been one of the better episodes in the series so far.

Although a little lacking on canonical connections, it had enough to make it fun and the acting was some of the best yet.

There are just a few similarities to the 'Adventure of the Red Circle'.

One would be a conspiracy to comment murder because of something that ties a group of people together.

Dialog between 'Holmes' and 'Watson' offered some really good quotes.
