Just over two years after the first film was released, Enola Holmes 2 has landed on Netflix – with Millie Bobby Brown returning to solve another tricky case, this time concerning a young girl who has mysteriously gone missing.

Although at first glance it seems like a fairly straightforward missing persons case, it naturally proves a little more puzzling – and Enola soon realises that it intersects with a seemingly separate investigation her brother Sherlock (Henry Cavill) is working on.

The case sees the pair introduced to all sorts of colourful characters – including a very iconic villain – and if you need a little help unpacking how it all ends up, read on to have the Enola Holmes 2 ending explained. Though beware, there are spoilers for Enola Holmes 2 ahead.

Enola Holmes 2 ending explained

During Enola’s investigations, she begins to suspect that something has been going very wrong at the match factory where the missing girl – Sarah Chapman – had been employed, and realises that Sarah had stolen some important papers before her disappearance.

Meanwhile, while she’s looking into it she happens to bump into Sherlock – who is rather drunk – and when she takes him home, she sees some information about his latest case, which she realises somehow ties into her own.

During their exchange the following morning, Sherlock notices something odd about her fingernails – which seems to imply that a dangerous chemical is being used at the match factory.

Things become more urgent when Enola discovers another matchgirl, Mae, has been murdered – especially when Enola herself falls under the suspicions of the rather nasty Superintendent Grail (David Thewlis), who is leading the case.
