The Mother of God (The Sherlock Holmes Advent Calendar: The Arrival of the Saviour, Episode 21)

Behind the heavy door deep beneath the abbey lies a hidden, spotless sickroom – and in it, unconscious and feverish, Mariah Taylor. Watson realises at once how grave her condition is, and then the full, terrifying extent of the “holy experiment”: the young woman is heavily pregnant. Holmes reveals the culprit’s insane plan to create a future Mother of God for the new Messiah. Secretly, Holmes, Watson and Lestrade carry Mariah to their room, where Brother Paul makes a discovery that turns everything upside down. Suddenly Holmes knows who is behind it all – and he and Watson set out, armed, to confront the culprit...
