Enola appeared just as popular culture seems to have had enough fresh iterations of the Sherlock Holmes legend. Harry Bradbeer’s Enola Holmes debuted on Netflix in late 2020, and it quickly established itself as a complete joy that offered viewers a novel perspective on the World’s Greatest Detective world. It didn’t take long for a sequel to begin production, and now the well-praised Enola Holmes 2 is here. It has a brand-new mystery and an absolutely shocking conclusion.
A young lady called Sarah Chapman, who works at a matchstick factory and has gone missing, is the subject of the film’s titular detective’s quest, which leads her to uncover a massive and lethal conspiracy.
Enola Holmes 2: Complete Ending Explained
The revelation that the code in the cryptic sheet music refers to the balcony seats at The Paragon theatre by Enola (Millie Bobby Brown), Sherlock (Henry Cavill), and Tewkesbury (Louis Partridge) marks the beginning of the end in Enola Holmes 2.
They find the proof that Sarah (Hannah Dodd), William (Gabriel Tierney), and Mae (Abbie Hern) gathered linking the match girls’ deaths to their employer altering the sort of phosphorus used in matchstick manufacture while they are up there. While Tewkesbury vows to use his position to assist Sarah when she emerges from hiding, Sarah gets the tragic news that William has been slain.
Superintendent Grail (David Thewlis) insists that Enola turn over the evidence while keeping Bessie (Serrana Su-Ling Bliss) at knifepoint. However, Bessie bites the superintendent’s hand and escapes. As the villains clash and pursue the heroes, chaos breaks out, and Enola eventually flees to the rafters above the stage. She rolls to escape and uses a sandbag on a pulley system to elude Grail when it appears like he has her cornered and is about to kill her. His body falls to the stage below after hitting his skull against a wooden beam.
Lord McIntyre (Tim McMullan), who claims Sherlock instructed him to visit the theatre, shows up with Inspector Lestrade (Adeel Akhtar) and requests to have Sarah detained. However, Sherlock adds that the purpose of inviting McIntyre was to lure out Moriarty, the villain at the core of the elaborate extortion scheme that has baffled him. Moriarty is Mira Troy (Sharon Duncan-Brewster), McIntyre’s personal assistant, who has turned to crime to express her intelligence in a world that consistently denies her possibilities because she is a woman, according to his successful deduction.
When Moriarty is detained, McIntyre destroys the evidence, and everything appears lost for a split second. Enola, Sarah, and Bessie, however, are unwilling to stop fighting. Sarah organizes a walkout and a strike at the match factory, and Tewkesbury uses his power to have McIntyre detained and put under investigation.
Enola wants to start again with her detective business, therefore she declines Sherlock’s offer of a partnership out of concern that doing business with him will put her in his constant shadow. She does, however, appreciate the concept of her brother being more amenable to friendship, which pays off in a scene that takes place in the middle of the credits and features Sherlock and Dr. John Watson (Himesh Patel). In a newspaper, Sherlock discovers that Moriarty has been able to get out of police custody.
Is there any room for Enola Holmes 3
In Enola Holmes 2, the search for Moriarty is more of a secondary plot in comparison to the mystery surrounding Sarah Chapman’s disappearance. However, it seems reasonable to assume that the next sequel’s (which hasn’t received the go-ahead yet but feels like a sure) emphasis won’t be the same. With the introduction of Mira Troy, a Moriarty anagram, the possibility that she would serve as the main nemesis in the upcoming tale is greatly increased.
Although we have no clue what Moriarty will be up to in the upcoming installment of this series, one thing we can hope for is that the film capitalizes on all the ways Sharon Duncan-take Brewster’s on the character differs from earlier versions. The audience’s perception of her as an egomaniacal psychopath is significantly altered by the fact that she is a black woman living in 19th-century England, and the mystery will hopefully end up highlighting this problematic viewpoint.
Even if Enola is unable to team up with an investigator, she still has her friendship with Lord Tewkesbury. In Enola Holmes 2, the two young adults confess their undying love for one another, and the relationship will undoubtedly develop in the subsequent book.
