Reccer's comments: As it says on the label. This is another small Elementary domestic, a look at two minor characters and the Brooklyn brownstone home. It's small, but packed. It pairs Ms Hudson with Clyde, another being drawn into Holmes's home. It fits the new character of Ms Hudson into the universe and into a new spot of warmth and security for her, with these two people who offered a refuge, employment, and a place in their lives. She's calmly, caringly competent. I like the detail that she lifts the heavy terrarium easily. It's the first story I've seen featuring this character, and I hope we'll see more (don't know if the show will bring her back often, and I hope it's more than stunt casting; I cautiously trust the writers).
