Holmes visits Adler's home the next morning with Watson and the King to demand the return of the photograph. Holmes then appears at the house and explains that he put a bust of Julius Caesar there because of the bust's resemblance to his own face (Holmes realized that as soon as he sat there, Moriarty would have him killed). Holmes disguises himself as an elderly cleric and sets up a faked incident to cause a diversion that is designed to gain him access to Adler's home and to trick her into revealing where the picture is hidden. In the opening paragraph of the short story, Watson calls her "the late Irene Adler", suggesting she is deceased. Adler next appears in "The Sign of Three" as a figment of Sherlock's mind palace whilst he is attempting to solve the Mayfly man case. Irene Adler, professionally known as "The Woman", was a celebrity dominatrix and extortionist who had a brief attraction to Sherlock Holmes.[1].

He asks the famous detective to secure possession of a previously taken photograph depicting Adler and the King together. [7] In his Sherlock Holmes Handbook, Christopher Redmond notes "the Canon provides little basis for either sentimental or prurient speculation about a Holmes-Adler connection."[9].

In many ways this version of Irene Adler is the polar opposite of Doyle's original tale: In this version, she is not American, but English; while the original was a victim of prosecution falsely accused of being a courtesan, this one is a culprit and a known dominatrix who serves high-end clientele; unlike the original, she is intensely attracted to Sherlock; most importantly, unlike the original, she consistently fails to best Sherlock and eventually ends up in his mercy. She tells Holmes and Watson that she found her father burying a forefinger under a pile of soil. They perform on stage together incognito, and become lovers.
