The highlight is the post-credits scene, which reveals William is—as always—several steps ahead. He purposely leaves a trail for Milverton to find, transitioning from being a "prey" to a hunter who has now "sniffed out" his next target.

This episode serves as a calculated breather after the high-stakes "Jack the Ripper" arc. It follows a young William as he settles a debt with a corrupt lawyer, showcasing his ruthless efficiency even before his rise to power. While some reviewers felt the one-off case was "painfully forgettable" compared to larger arcs, it effectively builds tension by introducing Milverton’s snooping.

The English dub is highly regarded for its immersion, with fans noting that the British accents and class-specific dialogue add a layer of authenticity that the original Japanese version lacks. The chemistry between William and Sherlock’s voice actors remains a standout feature of the production.

Production I.G. continues to deliver high-quality visuals, particularly in the courtroom scenes where the use of lighting and character expressions heightens the psychological tension.
