Elementary SN5-EP3 ‘Render, and Then Seize Her’

Last week Sherlock was abducted by a local street gang who wanted his help in finding who killed one of their men. Sherlock and Watson also found themselves in the middle of an international hunt to recover a priceless centries-old antiquity “The Jade Seal”.

SN5-EP3 ‘Render, and The Seize Her’

Captain Gregson’s (Aidan Quinn) girlfriend Paige (Virginia Madsen) meets Sherlock for the first time and asks if she can hire him on the sly. We see a naked guy being creepy looking through a window and takes a picture with the phone and sends it. Someone walks up behind him, and he pleads “it not what it looks like” but is shot point-blank. Sherlock (Jonny Lee Miller) is dragging a large bag behind him, Watson (Lucy Liu)is hoping it’s not a body in the bag. The bag in question is full of medical claim and files from a neurologist office who is treating Captain Gregson girlfriend Paige and she believes one of the staff there are engaged in criminal enterprise.

Sherlock receives a text from Marcus (Jon Michael Hill) about a death at a nudist colony. The victim is Kenneth Toland , a regular at the nudist colony. The owner shows them the video that she received from Kenny before he was shot. Watson and Sherlock take the footage to the husband who positively identifies the woman in the video as his wife Beth Stone. They look at the security footage from when Ms Stone was taken, the gun looks to be the same as what killed Kenny, when Watson spots something on the roof of the van, she believes the van used to be a TV news van.

Sherlock has found that three of the clerical staff are double billing however, he is sure the Doctor is clean and is not in on the scam. But Sherlock is troubled by Paige’s file, her insurances has lapsed, she has bounced a check and is now using plastic (credit cards) to pay. Bell finds the van that was used in the kidnapping a burnt out shell and as always nobody heard a thing. Watson gets lucky and finds a phone with the sim card intact with calls to Mr Stone.

Sherlock and Paige meet and he tells her that the clerks are defrauding the office, Sherlock being Sherlock asks Paige about the intentions to Gregson with regard to the future, and if the Captain knows she’s going broke. Marcus, Watson and Gregson arrest Dinatio. But his tell them the footage they saw was not him and that Mr Stone and Dennis came to him looking for an investment, they wanted $800k he says he asked them to make it. Sherlock believed Dennis is the suspect given away by his playlist which was also in the mob footage.

Beth Stone turns up and says she had two kidnappers and Dennis doesn’t fit either of their descriptions. Beth Stone‘s story is a very elaborate one, she was being held in a tent in the woods after the nudist colony. Mr Stone says they asked for $3 million. Sherlock sees a news story about Beth and said her breast are her undoing. Beth was trying to guilt her husband, the software Dennis made would bring in lots of money but Dennis was the one who shot Kenny. We get to see a different side of Sherlock this episode as he shows off his somewhat romantic side as he produces Gregson with some very shiny bling.

See you the same time next week when we recap Elementary SN5-EP4

American Horror Story: Roanoke ‘Chapter 6’

Last week’s episode ‘Chapter 5‘ we learned of Edward Mott who built the Roanoke House, however  during construction there were a few gruesome incidents. The Colony still continues to haunt the Millers. Matt and Shelby also find themselves on the wrong side of the very odd Polk family and the matriarch Mamma Polk (Frances Conroy).

 

Roanoke ‘Chapter 6’

Chapter 6 starts with the following statement:

My Roanoke Nightmare was the television success story of 2015. With minimal promotion, the show garnered 23 million views by its finale, topping that week’s airing of Sunday night football, Empire, and The Walking Dead. Eager to capitalise on the success, the network asked the producer to create at follow-up series.

The Producer of My Roanoke Nightmare Sidney James (Cheyenne Jackson) armed with a film crew ambushes Frank, the network president, with a surprise on-camera pitch. Sidney details the documentation od the reality that the audiences are craving, including social media and marketing, he wants to reunite the Millers and the two actors who played them for his new his idea “Return To Roanoke: Three Days in Hell“, which he wants to be a hidden camera reality show that will be filmed during the “Blood Moon” and capturing the real reactions to the fake scares he intends to set up. Sidney also mentions  that he brought the Roanoke house from Matt (André Holland) and Shelby (Lily Rabe) . He emerges from the meeting with the greenlight for 13 episodes, however, its short-lived when Sidney’s assistant Diana Cross (Shannon Lucio) tells him Shelby refuses to participate.

10 weeks before the “Blood Moon” Sidney sets up an interview with Shelby in Ojai. Since the show, Shelby and Matt have separated and she has been receiving death threats. Shelby had a fling with Dominic Banks (Cuba Gooding Jr.), who played Matt. Shelby insists that Dominic is not to be involved, however, unbeknownst to her, Dominic is already contracted. Two weeks prior to the “Blood Moon the Roanoke house is being fitted with additional cameras and scare gimmicks to create drama. Alissa, a crew member had found a circle of dead fetal pigs to Diana’s and Sidney’s attention, no one knows how they got there. It’s not the work of the Polk family, they have been MIA for weeks.

Agnes Winstead (Kathy Bates), the actress who played “The Butcher” talks about her experience on the show but there is a little more to Agnes’s story, an incident occurred when Agnes terrorised and slashed at bystanders down Hollywood Boulevard, which landed her a stint in a mental health facility and charged with assault. Sidney thinks Agnes is responsible for the fetal pig incident at Roanoke and slaps her with a restraining order. My brain keeps telling me that perhaps Agnes isn’t crazy, but actually possessed by The Butcher while filming the show? Or am I over thinking it?

Another incident has happened at the Roanoke house, this time Greg, one of the crew is cutting wood for the hot tub, when his chainsaw was thrust into his neck, removing his head clean off and obviously killing him. Sidney decides to go ahead with production but Diana is furious and tells Sidney she’s done and speeds off, she films an affidavit about what is happening on the show and why she is leaving. Diana stops and turns the camera around and we see what looks like a Roanoke colonist, she continues to drive when the Piggy man emerges from behind her seat and kills her. Diana’s footage was recovered three months later by police, but her body was never found.

Audrey Tindall (Sarah Paulson), who played Shelby and her new husband Rory Monahan (Evan Peters), who played Edward Mott arrive at the house first, while filming on his phone she catches a glimpse of Agnes who smashes a window. Audrey has been terrorised by Agnes who has been stalking her. When Matt and Lee (Adina Porter) arrive you could cut the tension with a knife.

Another statement appears stating:

Over the next three days during the blood moon, every participant in the series died under mysterious circumstances.

Except for one.

As the night goes on in the house, Shelby tries to reconcile with Matt, while Monet Tumusiime(Angela Bassett), who played Lee, tries to blame method acting as Lee turned her into an alcoholic. When Dominic arrives, Matt sees red and attacks him until the others break it up. Audrey gets out of the shower to find the Piggy man staring at her. Rory,  furious tries to find Piggy man, thinking it’s a set up by Sidney gets hacked to death by the Jane sisters, who finally get to complete their MURDER tableau.

The show never aired and we are told that what we’ve been seeing is the assembled found footage.
