Mary Browner has disappeared and her sister Susan Cushing asks Sherlock Holmes to find her. Holmes isn't particularly interested but has a change of heart when Susan Cushing receives two severed ears in a parcel. Suspicion falls on Marcel Jacottet, a medical student and former tenant whom Ms Cushing evicted.
The final episode of the Jeremy Brett-starring series of Sherlock Holmes. All through this final season Brett was in ill health - he died 18 months after this episode was released. Thus, in some way this was a farewell to Jeremy Brett as well as the series.
A fairly decent episode to end things off. Reasonably intriguing and interesting though not 100% engaging. Due to his ill-health Brett isn't quite as dynamic as he was and the episode-specific characters aren't that likeable. The director also lets the episode go on for several minutes past its natural ending, leaving things feeling a bit clumsy and drawn-out at the end.
Still, not a bad way to end things.
