After Watson Sneakily Debunked A Fan Theory, I’m Flashing Back To Robert Carlyle’s Comments About Whether Sherlock Is Being 'Honest' With John

Sherlock back from the dead and talking to John in Watson Season 2x05.

Spoilers are ahead for the fifth episode of Watson Season 2, called "Lucky" and available streaming now with a Paramount+ subscription.

The game was afoot yet again in the latest episode of Watson on CBS, with John and his team tackling the case of a patient suffering from locked-in syndrome and unable to communicate valuable information about a traveling nurse/murderer. John wasn't as involved his with team as usual, because Sherlock Holmes had returned for the third time in the fall 2025 TV schedule, and the doctor is continuing his old friend's ruse of being dead. The episode effectively debunked a fan theory that's been circulating about Sherlock for some time, and also reminded me of what Robert Carlyle told CinemaBlend.
