Sherlock Holmes: The Musgrave Ritual
The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes - The Musgrave Ritual
Watson tells Holmes to organize his papers. Holmes pulls out a box with "a crumpled piece of paper, an old fashioned brass key, a peg of wood with a ball of string attached to it, and three rusty old discs of metal."
It's from one of his earlier cases about the Musgrave Ritual. His college acquaintance, Reginald Musgrave, came to him with a case: His butler, Brunton, disappeared after being caught looking through family papers. Brunton asked for one week before leaving the job. But he disappeared a few days before the week was up.
Result: The Musgrave Ritual is an initiation for young men of the family to join the estate. It goes like so:
"Whose was it?"
"His who is gone/"
"Who shall have it?"
"He Who Will Come."
"Where was the sun?"
"Over the oak"
"Where was the shadow?"
"Under the elm/"
"How was it stepped?"
"North by ten and by ten, east by five and by five, south by two and by two, west by one and by one, and so under."
"What shall we give for it?"
"All that is ours."
"Why should we give it?"
"For the sake of the trust"
Holmes figured out that they were directions and it lead to a cellar. Brunton's dead body was in it.
Earlier, they had fished a bag of metals and stones out of the pond. It turned out to be the crown of Charles the Second.
Ancestor Sir Ralph Musgrave was the right hand man of Charles the Second. He was protecting the crown until the king could get it but died before then. He created the ritual as a way to remember the location.

Sherlock Holmes: The "Gloria Scott"
The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes - The "Gloria Scott"
This is Holmes' first case, he shows Watson a note:
"The supply of game for London is going to steadily up [it ran]. Head-keeper Hudson, we believe, has been now told to receive all orders for fly-paper and for preservation of your hen-pheasant's life."
The client was his only friend in college, Victor Trevor. Holmes was invited to vacation with Victor in his home in Birmingham. He uses his deduction skills to wow and shock Sr Trevor causing him to be cautious around Holmes.
On the day that Holmes left, a drunken sailor comes to visit. Sr Trevor went above and beyond to appease him.
Two months later, Victor goes to see Holmes to tell him that the sailor, Hudson, is "the devil." He drinks and acts like he owns the place. And his father has fallen ill and is in his deathbed.
Result: Sr Trevor died and left his son a letter with the story. His real name is James Armitage, he was being transported on Gloria Scott as a convict. They overthrew the crew and just as they were escaping from the ship it blew up. He and his friend Evans changed their names and both prospered. Hudson, the only survivor of the explosion did not prosper. He went around blackmailing all the escapees.
The real message behind the note was actually this:
"The supply of game for London is going steadily up. Head-keeper Hudson, we believe, has been now told to receive all orders for fly-paper and for preservation of your hen-pheasant's life."

Teen Wolf Season 4 Ep 1 The Dark Moon
Teen Wolf: Season 4 Episode 1 The Dark Moon
The episode starts off with Stiles, Lydia, Scott, Kira, and Malia in Mexico looking to buy Derek's freedom from the Calaveras gang. (Note: Allison is definitely dead, the actress asked to be written off the show. Completely unrelated, the twins' and Isaac's actors also asked to be written off.)
Their plan was to ambush her but in reality, she ambushes them with wolfsbane gas. She puts them all in a cell except for Lydia to test Lydia's banshee abilities. She gets Kira to shock Scott (or Lydia if Kira refuses) into answering the question of who took Derek. She goes up to the highest voltage and Scott has an epiphany. "Kate!"
Stiles has a new truck? Or it just looks less beat-up
They talk about who Kate is. Gist: Allison's aunt. Burned down Derek's family. Peter (Derek's uncle) "killed" her. She didn't kill herself before she changed on the full moon.
Car breaks down. Stiles tells Scott to go. Scott says "not without you" to Stiles. Kira hugs him and tells him to be careful.
New girl: Braeden, a mercenary, is sent to guide them to "the church"
Something about werejaguars.
Stiles: I will never abandon this Jeep. EVER.
Stiles tells Malia to never run off again. She tells him she'll never leave without him. (Gestures to Lydia and Kira) "Them I would leave." Stiles: "That's progress"
They find a jaguar god after Scott roars and a magic wall moves.
They found Derek
Uhh...sort of

Introductory Post
This will be the introductory post until I can figure out how to edit the "About Me"
Something very important about me: my main blog is http://catlovesdisney.blogspot.com/ and it has mostly Disney related stuff.
The reason I'm starting this blog: I watch/read/see a lot of things and remember most or some of what I saw. I figured that maybe I should start jotting down summaries of those things. In this blog, I will have summaries of books, movies, tv show episodes, etc of the things I've seen first-hand. The summaries may be brief or long depending on my mood. I will be tagging each with the title of the object and also copying some of the things over from my Disney blog. Also, the words in purple font will be my own thoughts while the rest is the actual sumamry
Hope this helps. And enjoy :)
Remember you can always leave comments below the posts or email me at catherineliu06@gmail.com for suggestions or just to say hello.

Sherlock Holmes: The Yellow Face
The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes - The Yellow Face
A man comes calling, Grant Munro, tells a story about his wife Effie Hebron. She had a husband and child in America. They both died of yellow fever.
Grant says he and Effie were super in love. She even signed over all her money to him. One day, she asks him for money and a few days later, new people move into a nearby cottage. The woman is extremely rude to him. He tells his wife and later that night he catches her sneaking out.
Next day, he sees a yellow faced man from an upstairs window. Then his wife walks out of the house. She begs him not to go in and she wouldn't lie to him again. A few days later, he comes home early and catches her there. He goes in but it was empty inside.
Holmes says to go back and telegram when the occupants come back to the house.
Result:
The face is actually Effie's child wearing a mask. Turns out her first husband was African and since the child was darker than the dad, she couldn't admit to it still being alive. Grant accepts the child and tells Effie should should have had more faith in him.
Holmes' theory was that the man was the surviving husband and was blackmailing her. Turns out he was wrong. He tells Watson to reference this case whenever Holmes needs to be humbled.
