Yes, we learn the fate of the stolen goods
17 August 2020
Warning: Spoilers
**Spoiler alert** Like most viewers I missed the fate of the stolen items the first time I watched this episode so I watched it again and yes we learn where the goods are. Watch the entire episode and concentrate, its revealed subtly and in a poorly written way, but its there. If you consider who did (or didn't) smuggle what and listen to a small couple of lines of dialog by Drake and the young lady near the ending, you can get it.

Irene Tsu is very young (about 18 years old) and is OK as the defendant but the episode would have been better if she had been allowed to perform in an 18- or 19- year old manner rather than the way she is directed and be-wigged here. Burr seems a bit disinterested. Mason in this episode lacks his usual gravitas (gasp!)- the only episode of the series I have encountered such a phenonenon, clearly the fault of the director and writers.

There are a lot of muddled interactions between the characters during the middle of the episode, on a ship that is traveling sans Mason, Della, or Drake. "The Case of the Floating Stones" seems rather thrown together and falls short of the usual high standards of the series.
