Watson got off to an eventful start in Season 2 in the 2025 TV schedule, with Sherlock Holmes even in the mix after the time jump. For Shinwell, he’s not contributing to the team as much via his criminal connections anymore, but is at work in the hospital as a nursing student. His skills will be put to the test in more ways than one in the new episode on November 3, and actor Ritchie Coster spoke with CinemaBlend about the storyline he originally didn’t love for his character, as well as needing “penance” for his actions.
Because this is Watson we’re talking about, the episode – called “Happy When It Rains” – will also have a wild medical case. Patients come into UHOP with wounds that seem to be infected with a flesh-eating bacterium, all while Shinwell is searching for meaning in his new direction as a nursing student. He'll have to come to terms with the emotional challenges of the medical field while also contributing to the case of the week, all of which creates sky-high stakes.
