Two years after his apparent death, Sherlock returns to solve a terrorist threat; John, having moved on with his life and angry that he wasn't told of Sherlock's plan to fake his own death, refuses to help.

Sherlock investigates Charles Augustus Magnussen, a master blackmailer who knows the weaknesses of every prominent figure in the Western world; in his pursuit of clues, Sherlock makes a discovery about Mary that threatens her future with John.

When a North Oxford housewife, Rachel Mallory (Emma Croft), is found hanged at home, it appears to be an open and shut case of suicide. She leaves devastated husband Hugh (James Wilby), and two young daughters, 8-year-old Anna, and 9-year-old Izzie. Hugh’s business partner, David Hayward and his wife, Louise were the Mallorys’ closest friends. With two boys of their own, they’re concerned that the girls are protected from the trauma of their mother’s death. Much to the chagrin of CSI Innocent (Rebecca Front), Inspector Lewis’ instincts tell him something’s wrong about the suicide verdict. But whether it’s the lack of a note, or the fact that Rachel’s life seemed perfect, he’s not yet sure. Stars: Emma Croft as Rachel Mallory, Eva Sayer as Anna Mallory, James Wilby as Hugh Mallory, Adam Parkinson as Michael Hayward, Julia Joyce
