The writers have a lot of fun with the premise, injecting the episode with a lot of meta self-referential humor and jokes that reference the fandom. RELATED British Period Drama for Christmas and the New Year Emelia Ricoletti returns from the grave (or morgue). But in this case, nothing is quite what it seems. Naturally, Holmes is intrigued and the famous duo set out to find the undead bride before she strikes again. The same, supposedly dead woman came back to life later that night and murdered her husband. A case is brought to their attention by a very shaken Lestrade who recounts the tale of Emelia Ricoletti, a lady who terrorized a London street before shooting herself. It then skips ahead to a more recent alternative past when the two men know each other well. It goes much the same as it did the first time we saw this. The episode begins with a flashback of Holmes and Watson meeting, this time in Victorian England. Watson, Mary, Lestrade and Holmes ponder the mystery. What I got, however, was something quite different. I would have been happy with that a simple fun adventure between seasons, a chance for the writers to play around with their characters. For the first forty-five minutes or so this was exactly what it appeared to be. Given the way it was advertised, this seemed likely, as is sometimes the case with Christmas viewing. I went into Sherlock: The Abominable Bride expecting a self-indulgent stand alone episode with no bearing on the overall plot of the series.
