This case’s resolution - much to Sherlock’s disgust - takes far too long and requires him to open a book to find the answers he’s looking for. It must be “retirement-brain” kicking in that he can’t just pull the solution out of thin air as done in previous cases! 0:00 - intro 1:36 - Dramatic Reading of The Adventure Of The Lion’s Mane Pt. 2 32:40  - A (not so) brief discussion The Case-Book Of She...

Nick pens the beginning of the end of this memoir. Or is it the end of the beginning?

Yeah. So this case could have easily been resolved cheaply with good, old-fashioned communication skills. Watson continues to display impressive memory recall of the case's events.
