Mike puts a file on his desk and leaves.
Suddenly we're back at the Ellison Trust offices, still with Holmes, Watson, Bell and Gregson. Holmes bothers Rebecca Ellison (the fraternal twin from before) because she hired lawyers to investigate Casey and Anna after discovering they were her half-siblings. So the mystery father was really Charles Ellison. She looks confused at the accusation of double-murder and asks, "What do you mean, they're both dead?" Holmes explains that there's a will that didn't contain a clause to cut out the half-siblings, which gave her a motive. She says she didn't kill anyone. She was at home. Alone. Bell wants to take her back to the precinct. But first, Rebecca closes the door to her office. She says she and Yvette found out about Casey and Anna, just before their father died. That's why she wanted to investigate them. But then Yvette went into a tailspin. She started seeing a married man, started drinking, and tried to kill herself. But Holmes thinks that suicide attempt might really have been attempted murder. Rebecca slaps him. Holmes asks why she disguised herself as Yvette. Why? What's the point of framing a woman in a coma?" Rebecca answers, "You're insane." Then she's taken away.
Hey, I was just wondering. Why does a woman in a coma need deodorant? They give the patients sponge baths, don't they?
Outside, Holmes explains to Watson that a left-handed slap hurts more. One cheek is "leathery from slaps" and the other is like a baby's bottom. I like the backstory that Holmes gets slapped a lot. I just bet he does. When they get to the brownstone, Ty is there! He thinks he was invited to a dinner party, but Holmes did it with Watson's phone. Ty demands to know who Holmes is and mistakes him for a boyfriend. This is weird, because he knows that Watson is a Sober Companion with a new client. It's possible he assumes that her clients are always women, but it still seems pretty obvious who the erratic weirdo is, you know?
