Holmes was listening in on the conversation (from five feet away) and praises her instincts: "Well done." And he's gotten an idea! "Get your coat!"
Gregson's office. And Dr. Baldwin! Holmes asks if he's brilliant. Baldwin allows as how some people call him that. Last night, Holmes realized he might not have been the first person to realize there was an Angel of Death in the hospital. But records show Baldwin did investigate the bodies of his two patients. Baldwin's defense is that they were his patients, so naturally he investigated their deaths. Holmes says he might have noticed the same thing he did. But Baldwin left a clamp in Samantha Cropsey's chest. Fixing that would have earned him his third strike. So he made Samantha an attractive patient for the Angel of Death. He forged the results of a cancerous discovery and put in her file. And then he lowered her pain meds to get the Angel's attention. Samantha has been exhumed, and the clamp was indeed in her rib cage. Baldwin speaks hypothetically and says that they may have just proved that he made a mistake, but there's no evidence of faked records. Well, Holmes checked out the janitor's records, which were very complete. Instead of copying out information, he took pictures of the official charts! And upon being presented with this evidence, he told them where they were hidden! Baldwin is sanctimonious. Gregson says it's Murder 2: twenty to life.
On television, Baldwin gets packed into a police car. Holmes watches the body language over and over on TiVo. Watson is going to bed. Holmes congratulates her on being "quite a doctor." She admits that she had her moments. Holmes suggests that she might give it a go again one of these days. And when she's in bed, Watson spends time looking at her old pictures of doctoring. Then she deletes them all.
