Who Should Watson Save: Adams or Stephens? Heading Into Finale, We Make the Cast Choose
Moriarty's diabolical intervention in Watson's lab claimed two victims by the end of Episode 12 — the last installment of the CBS drama before its Season 1 finale this Sunday (9/8c). As the hour came to a close, twin brothers/researchers Stephens and Adams Croft fell into comas resulting from some virus-related tomfoolery orchestrated by Watson's nemesis.
And then, adding insult to illness, Moriarty's meddling also meant that there wasn't enough matter with which to create enough experimental serum for both brothers (thanks, Ingrid!). So by episode's end, Watson wrestled with the notion that his medicine would only be able to bring one Croft back from the brink.

'As someone who may or may not be in love with Stephens, I would definitely say 'Stephens,'' Inga Schlingmann, who plays Sasha, said immediately. 'So that's very biased, but also very honest.' (And if you saw Sasha and Stephens' sweet bedside admission of affection in last week's episode, can you blame her?)
Conversely, 'I have to pick Adams, because I live in Los Angeles, and I'm really into all the woo-woo s–t,' joked Eve Harlow, who plays Ingrid.
On a more upbeat note: As TVLine exclusively reported in April, the Season 1 finale also will introduce Tika Sumpter (The Haves and the Have Nots, One Life to Live) as Laila, a pediatric oncologist will catch Watson's eye.
But, back to the Crofts. To find out what Ritchie Coster, who plays Shinwell, and Peter Mark Kendall, who plays both ailing siblings, thinks about the matter, press PLAY on the video above.
