No, this was not the most dynamic of episodes.
Because it wasn't meant to be.
It's a filler episode that explores the characters of the characters Sherlock and Joan's fun tiff which was quietly revealing and funny, but still in character. Marcus and Sherlock's relationship. How Captain Gregson views the pair. Sherlock's awareness of how he's viewed.
I'm binging the show on Hulu so I don't know what's going to happen with Marcus, but the producers are using this episode to deepen our understanding of the cast and their relationship to each other (and probably setting up some stuff for later in the season).
It's not a high-wire act, but it's still a very fun episode.
