loses his job as a result.
Concerned that his powers of logic and reasoning
are failing him, he gives away his copy of The

favourite" book) to Sister Steve (Tracy Nelson).
That evening he falls asleep in his chair worrying
about Kowecki, and is woken up by Sherlock Holmes,
who has appeared in his study. He tells Dowling that
his belief in him made him real, and that should
Dowling lose his faith in his methods, Holmes will
cease to exist. He has appeared to restore Dowling's
faith, and to help solve the mystery.
He continues appearing, although only Dowling can
see him. After a failed abduction attempt at an
auction house, Steve discovers the source of the
candlesticks, and she and Dowling visit Eastland's
widow (Susan Krebs). A business card leads them to a
car dealership, but Dowling's friends start to doubt

Played by: Brent Spiner
Writer: Brian Alan Lane
Director: Rob Bowman
Story: Geordie (LeVar Burton) shows
Data a model of Nelson's Victory he has

He has also programmed the holodeck to enable Data
to participate, as Holmes, with Geordie as Watson,
in a Sherlock Holmes mystery. Lestrade (Alan
Sherman) brings a foreign emissary whom Data
instantly reveals as a blackmailer. Because Data has
all the Holmes mysteries memorised, and challenged
by Doctor Pulaski (Diana Muldaur), Data has the
computer create a new Holmes mystery to solve.
Data's first deduction is adjudged fraud by the
doctor because it still relies on Data's memory of
the stories, so Geordie instructs the computer to
create an adversary capable of defeating Data. The
doctor is abducted by Moriarty (Daniel Davis), who
lures Data and Geordie to his lair. Moriarty learns
of the existence of the Enterprise and
overrides the holodeck shutdown program, and then
gains control of the ship.
Data returns to the holodeck with Captain Picard
(Patrick Stewart) and Lieutenant Worf (Michael

personality, and the mortality failsafe deactivated.
Moriarty reasons that his ability to think makes him
a living being, and asks Picard to murder him if he
is unable to give him a corporeal form. Picard
decides to store the program in the computer's data
banks.

independent existence, Moriarty develops the ability
to leave the holodeck. He requests that Countess
Bartholomew (Stephanie Beacham), created by the
computer to be the love of his life, also be given
the ability to leave the holodeck.
When Picard is cautious about granting his wishes,
Moriarty takes control of the ship's computers. Data
eventually realises that he and Picard are trapped
on a holodeck of the ship. They only have three
