‘Elementary’ season 4 spoilers: First look at ‘Burden of Blood’

While there may not be another new episode of “Elementary” airing on CBS until January 7, the show will be doing a lot of work throughout the month of January to ensure that you have a lot to look forward to. On the upcoming January 14 episode entitled “A Burden of Blood,” we’re going to have a chance to see an episode of the show that paints a rather mysterious picture. We’re going to have a potential copycat killer on the loose, which means in turn that Holmes and Watson will have their work cut out for them.

Take a look at the official synopsis below, which also contains some great scoop for those of you who are fans of the Detective Bell character:

“Holmes and Watson investigate a homicide in which the victim was murdered in a manner reminiscent of the crimes of an infamous, and already incarcerated, serial killer. Also, Sherlock and Joan tutor Detective Bell for a police sergeant’s exam that would lead to a promotion and a post at another precinct.”

For the Bell story, we imagine that “Elementary” is going to have the same exact struggle that so many other shows have had before now: Trying to find a way to balance out the story that the show wants to tell, and also figure out how to ensure that a character would do all the things that they would in real life. A character as successful as Bell would want to try to advance their career, yet at the same time we’re sure that the series does not want to do away with this character.
