Kowecki, an ex-con, loses his job as a result.
Concerned that his powers of logic and reasoning are
failing him, he gives away his copy of The
Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (his "second
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 his
sanity, until he solves the mystery.

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

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 Dorn),
to find a London afflicted by Moriarty's 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

(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 hours
until the planets they have come to observe collide
