After following young Sherlock Holmes (Hero Fiennes Tiffin) and his best friend James Moriarty (Dónal Finn) around the globe as they attempt to solve the mystery behind the assassination of the Four Apostles, four professors at Oxford, Young Sherlock audiences were left agog when the season’s true villain was finally revealed after several misdirects.

The twist reframes everything that came before it, turning what appeared to be a straightforward conspiracy into something far more personal and far more dangerous for the young sleuth, as it warped Sherlock’s family, his future, and his sense of being, while possibly warping best buddy Moriarty into the man he would later become. Warning: Spoilers ahead.
