Watson season 2 episode 7: Release date & time, where to watch, and what to expect

Watson season 2 episode 7, titled “Giant Steps,” arrives on CBS this Monday and brings a personal twist. Watson’s father, Hamish, returns with a young saxophone prodigy who suffers blackouts whenever she plays. As the team searches for the cause, the episode focuses on emotional conflict, a tense medical mystery, and growing pressure from Mycroft as the season moves toward its climax.

Earlier in season 2, Mycroft Holmes took full control of the Holmes Foundation and threatened to cut the clinic’s funding unless Watson agreed to follow his plans. Watson refused because he believed in helping people over making money. The fallout from Sherlock’s final act also added strain between the Holmes brothers.

Watson and his team faced tougher cases as well, including a shocking discovery that a young man’s cancer was created in a lab. Mycroft pushed Watson to reveal the truth about Sherlock, but Watson focused on protecting his patients and his clinic. These events set up a season filled with secrets, rising tension, and major choices that will shape what happens next.

Hamish’s return also creates tension, as his troubled relationship with Watson comes back to the surface and affects Watson’s choices. Mycroft’s money threats grow stronger.

A brief recap of episode 6 before Watson season 2 episode 7 arrives

Episode 6, “Buying Time,” showed Watson and his team racing to save Xavier, a young athlete with fast-growing cancer that seemed impossible to cure. Their fight to help him happened at the same time that Mycroft warned Watson that UHOP could lose its funding unless Watson followed his wishes.

The case grew even more serious when Watson learned that Xavier’s cancer was man-made and created through dangerous testing by Bell’s Anti-Ageing Generation. 

Bell later learned he had the same deadly mutation, and while the clinic managed to save Xavier, Bell died after being held responsible for what he had done. Meanwhile, Mycroft pushed Watson for the truth about Sherlock being alive and used the clinic’s future as leverage, forcing Watson into a painful and difficult decision.
