Picking up where "Smith and Holmes" left off, the Doctor has just landed in VictorianLondon, right outside 221B. Holmes is delighted to see the Doctor again, although somewhat less than enthusiastic at the thought of explaining the Time Lord & etc. to Watson. The Doctor makes one last appeal to Holmes, having been recently rejected by both Donna ''[[AlternateUniverse and]]'' [[Recap/DoctorWhoNSS3E1SmithAndJones Martha]]. Holmes understands only too well the Doctor's desperate need for companionship and rather reluctantly agrees to one adventure ([[PapaWolf being hesitant to risk Watson's safety]]).

Once things are explained to a rather overwhelmed Watson, the threesome settles on going to visit Creator/WilliamShakespeare at the Globe in the late sixteenth century. The basic adventure of [[Recap/DoctorWhoNSS3E2TheShakespeareCode "The Shakespeare Code"]] ensues, with variations such as Watson fanboying over Shakespeare and Shakespeare being even more AwesomeByAnalysis. In the end, Holmes decides (noting the wistfulness of both Doctors) to stick with the Time Lord for one more adventure...
