Holmes' React to Enola Holmes and her films

Enola Holmes

Young Enola is the daughter of , who insisted on naming her Enola. Her mother was a supportive person and they have a close relationship, as she barely knew her father or brothers. However, her mother had secrets she kept from Enola, mentioning privacy was the highest virtue.

On Enola's sixteenth birthday, she found her mother was missing, leaving Ferndell Hall at some point during the night, but did not return. Her mother left her small gifts which were to be given to her at tea time. Enola left her home to visit her brothers by train, named and . She was sure Sherlock would have all the answers to her mystery.

Enola stays quiet at this, as does everyone else. Sometime it was difficult for Enola to acknowledge that she wasn't destined to always be alone.

"You think quite highly of us then?" Sherlock questioned his sister.

"Not much, not anymore anyways..."

Upon arriving at the train station, she found her brothers, who had sent her a telegram did not recognise her. Mycroft was confused as to why Enola had not brought the carriage he had sent, only to find he had sent it to the wrong place. They went to Enola's home, where Sherlock concluded her mother had not left due to foul play, and with her full wits about her.

"You didn't recognise Enola? Honestly boys! I sent you photos at least once a year." Eudoria mutters.

"You did?" Sherlock responds.

"Yes! and Mycroft."

"Oh..."

Mycroft stated they had two objectives: to find Enola a boarding school with the help of his friend Miss Harrison and to find their mother. He considered his goal to be the former while assigning the latter to Sherlock. Mycroft believed his mother, wild and dangerous, had raised a wild child. Sherlock, however, found her to be intelligent.

"Thank you Sherlock." Enola smiles with a hint of smugness.

While Enola was measured and dressed, Miss Harrison commented she had too much to say about the situation, and that the new clothes would allow her to fit into society. Miss Harrison said Enola would be making many friends, but Enola found them unnecessary, naming her school ridiculous, which won her a slap across the face from the older woman.

Mycroft and Sherlock both looked quite stunned at this. Slapping their sister? In her own home? While Enola had been rude, it did not require such an agressive response.

Enola begged her brothers not to send her to the school, but Mycroft found it was necessary, as she would never find a husband in her current state, which Enola mentioned she did not want. Sherlock stated it was not his responsibility to educate her, but was left astonished when Enola said he had allowed Mycroft to be cruel to their mother.

As Enola sketched in a field, Sherlock joined her, remembering she used to be shy, bringing a small pinecone wherever she went, which she called Dash. He also remembered she never wore any trousers, but mentioning he could not remember anything else, which Enola was grateful for, as she now found those memories embarrassing. However, Enola was now sad that Sherlock had only come back due to their mother missing.

Thinking back to the presents her mother had given her, Enola found a clue telling her to look in her mother's chrysanthemums. Looking through the paintings, she found money with a message which said: "our future is up to us." She wants to a train station, which surprised Mycroft when it was time to go. At her home, Mycroft is asked not to abandon Enola as he once had.
