Zero, a tribute to the entire series

(1) The name of the episode, the origin of Elementary

The show's title is reminiscent of the well-known phrase "Elementary, my dear Watson," but just as Sherlock Holmes was never active in New York, the phrase never appears fully in Arthur Conan Doyle's original book. The closest dialogue comes from the short story The Adventure of the Crooked Man .

"I have the advantage of knowing your habits, my dear Watson," said he.
"Excellent!" I cried.
"Elementary," said he.

A phrase often attributed to Sherlock Holmes, the English detective in the works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Holmes supposedly says this to his amazed companion, Dr. Watson, as he explains his reasoning in solving a crime. Though these precise words are never used in the Holmes stories, something like them appears in the story “The Crooked Man”: “'Excellent!' I [Watson] cried. 'Elementary,' said he.”
