In addition, the series has been averaging 6.79 million viewers per week (according to Nielsen reporting). Now, here's a look at the overview for the season finale – Episode 12: "My Life's Work Part 1" and Episode 13: "My Life's Work Part 2."

Watson Season 1 Episode 12: "My Life's Work Part 1" and Episode 13: "My Life's Work Part 2" – When part of the team falls ill after becoming targets of a sinister plot, it becomes an all-hands-on-deck situation to save them before it's too late.
