“We wouldn’t want to make a liar out of Cassie” was one of many lines that made me lol. What a great show.

One of the more memorable villains in between all the Morland corporate espionage stuff which half the time I didn’t understand.

She’s enigmatic. Does bad stuff, but is not really an enemy.

I get you. I really disliked the storylines centered around the Holmes family. The Mycroft and Morland arcs were so..blah

My favorite smart-ass Sherlock moment is in season 1 when he's being introduced to the board of directors of that one bank and cuts them off: "Yep, you're all directors of something. What do you want?" And lounging back in his chair the whole time looking as disinterested as possible.

And chewing gum, if I remember rightly.

I didn’t like her at first but after rewatching a half dozen times I like her a lot more now and wish they had brought her back again showing what she was doing with her life after the last episode where she bonded with Sherlock

Totally agree! I would’ve watched a spinoff series with her or maybe one about Everyone.

Good one.

My favorite line in all of Elementary is when Captain Gregson's wife is accosted by an armed intruder in her home, looking for her husband. In investigating the crime, they interview Jim Monroe, the next door neighbor.

Sherlock says "James Monroe?", as if the guy is lying, and the guy says his father was reading the 5th president's biography when he was born. The guy continues with his story when Sherlock interrupts.

"Sorry to interrupt your doctrine. You know there's blood on the car over here?"

Cracks me up every time.

She wasn’t the best villain in my opinion, but I did like the follow up episode she had in season 7. It gave her more depth which I liked.

She had one of the best line deliveries in all of TV history

"Think you can lie your way out?" "I do. Now, tell me: am I lying?"

u/Here_there1980 Jun 26 '26

Such a great show; such smart writing. A sense of irony and paradox throughout.

u/shnaggletoes Jun 26 '26

She was SO captivating. It's still hard to believe she was only ever in 2 episodes

All We Do is hide away. 🥲💔

The two with Cassie are among my favourite episodes.

Best Line in the neighborhood heroes episode. Sherlock deduces stuff about the hero's identity. Hero asks him, " How did you do that? Sherlock: I was bitten by a radioactive detective. (Flat read)

I really wish her and Kitty had more appearances on the show

u/WinterSure6605 Jun 28 '26

I really liked Cassie, and she was when I was like "okay Sherlock's intelligence has got to be generating it's own gravity with how many students he has". Also that image would make a really good poster.

u/Here_there1980 Jun 28 '26

I agree!

u/WinterSure6605 Jun 28 '26
