Spoilers ahead for Episode 18 of Elsbeth Season 2, called “I Know What You Did Thirty-Three Summers Ago” and available streaming now with a Paramount+ subscription.
The Season 2 finale of Elsbeth is quickly approaching in the 2025 TV schedule, but the latest episode delivered a twist so big that I thought it had to be a fake out when there are still weeks to go until the final credits roll. Michael Emerson returned as Judge Milton Crawford, and Elsbeth getting some serious dirt on the Moriarty to her Sherlock resulted in retaliation that ranged from close to home like Captain Wagner to all the way back to Elsbeth’s ex in Chicago. The plot was seriously thickening…and then Delia turned up and shot Crawford dead.
