One of the more sentimental stories in the canon, "The Adventure of the Yellow Face" is remarkable because Holmes’s deductive powers fail him - and Watson’s romantic sentimentality wins the day. It's also notable in how it specifically addresses race and prejudice in a way the Holmes stories usually avoid.

Does Doyle get some credit for being not quite as awful as some of his contemporaries? Should these people have even become parents? Does Watson really solve the case first? All that and more in today's episode.

Content warning: This story contains blatant & not-so-blatant anti-Black racism.
