'Elementary' Kills Off a Major Character In One of Its Final Episodes (SPOILERS)

Aug. 7 2019, Updated 5:Eleven p.m. ET

In the lead as much as its series finale on August 15, the CBS crime drama Elementary threw a big curveball in its 3rd to final episode — and it made us hate Odin Reichenbach even more than we already do. 

WARNING: The following paragraphs include spoilers from Season 7, Episode 11.

Morland Holmes' sudden death rattles Sherlock.

When Morland Holmes returned to Elementary for the first time in over a yr, fans had been delighted to peer the character even if his courting with son Sherlock has all the time been just a little murky. 

Though the duo continuously butted heads over Morland’s work, the love he had for his son was always glaring, which is why his death devastates the detective. Sherlock’s colleague Marcus Bell is the one that delivers the news that Morland’s frame used to be present in Willets Point. 

Viewers instantly hooked up the murder to Odin, who loves to get others to do his dirty paintings for him. In this situation, Morland died based totally on the orders of a intended pal. To make matters worse, the business marketing consultant’s personal men may have been the ones to carry out the killing.

Regardless of who murdered him, Morland’s passing implies that Sherlock no longer has any biological family members left. However, some fans speculate that the killing is usually a arrange since it came about off digicam. Lest we disregard that Morland has successfully escaped death prior to. 

One thing we know evidently: Sherlock is already plotting his revenge. As one fan astutely famous on social media, "Odin really thought he could just murder Sherlock Holmes’ father??? Our boy is about to call in the entire battalion and wipe this man off the map." We look forward to seeing it.

Actor John Noble was once the absolute best choice to play Morland Holmes on Elementary.

The 70-year-old — who joined the sequence in Season 4 — previously defined what excited him about the function when he first signed on. 

"Such an interesting character to come on [to], having been built up over three seasons," he informed EW in 2015. "I guess folks have an expectation of what he’s going to be like, so that’ll be fascinating to see what they think when they see [him]."

In an interview with Nerdist, John added, "To come into the company, it’s a real gift because the show is so good, so successful, seriously, and the company of actors is astonishing, you know… So it’s this gift of walking in… it was like going home."

Perhaps unknowingly, John hinted at the Season 7 twist while speaking on the Elementary panel at New York Comic Con. 

When asked about his tendency to play estranged fathers (suppose Walter Bishop on Fringe and Denethor in Lord of the Rings), the Aussie answered, "I’m not estranged from my children but there’s something deep within me for that. Fundamentally underneath, there is hopefully an unconditional love that will surface by the end."

Sacrificing your existence in your son’s well being? We’d say that matches the invoice. Watch the final two episodes of Elementary on August Eight and 15 at 10 p.m. ET on CBS.
