Again, totally not having anything to do with the current convo but

When looking back, his thumb was not bleeding when he pulled out the sword or when facing the clown, i still can't pinpoint the cause 

(i don't know why i'm so intrigued by this small occurrence xD)

I have noticed that too. However it's a dorsal scratch (it that the correct word? I mean it's not on the inside, fleshy side of the thumb but on its other side). I don't think Mycroft could cut himself on his sword like that. Maybe he caught his hand on the landing when running around.

Do you think it was on purpose, or do you think Mark legit hurt himself and no one noticed, and possibly when they did, they decided to leave it?

I agree with Liberty, he didn't necessarily mind control the parents or Sherlock. He told the parents their daughter had died in another fire where she was taken, simply to take away the pain, and their involvement. With Sherlock, that was on his own, he was so traumatized he erased her from his memories and everyone was aware of this, and to ensure his mental stability, everyone went along with his belief. Mycroft brought up redbeard and "the east wind" simply to see if it would cause a certain reaction from Sherlock that indicated he was remembering her. 

Random questions but, did anyone else notice Mycroft's thumb bleeding after Sherlock revealed it was him messing with his bother in the beginning? What was the cause?

Okay I have only just got to a point where I can actually start through other peoples posts and responding to them...though I am hoping for a second view tonight.
-yes the whole season has been fast and furious.  They had a lot to fit in.  But I disagree about their being no breathers, there were some fabulous moments of humour...apart from the beautiful touching scenes.
-CS was a fine baddie for S 4.  But they had to round off the Moriarty story.  At least he was dead.
-I didn't want Irene again, either.  But she is obviously important to Sherlock and we just have to accept that.
-Yes Mary appeared strongly, too.  But she was important to both John and Sherlock and at the end of the day this is Mark and Steven's vision. Whether we like it or not.  Well John and Sherlock are obviously happy being Mary's boys.  It's all about them and not us.
-ok I confess I have missed Sherlock's text or didn't realise it's significance...but he will not be propositioning John, that's for sure.
- I don't understand the issue with Molly?  That was a beautiful scene.
- I actually don't understand the issue with Euros, either.  She wasn't behind everything, as in all of the crimes.
-I think some of it was meant to be ridiculous:  like the jump out of the window...have people had humour bypasses?!
-John still has his wedding ring on?  Of course, he still loves Mary
-on the horror thing:  I don't watch them as I don't like them.  But I loved this, so it worked for me.
- parentlock.  Very cute.  But it's not parentlock.  It's Daddy and his best friend. John still seems to have his own house.
-How the feck did I MISS Paul Weller? I love him!
-Mystrade?  Where.  Sherlock asks Greg to take care of Mycroft, I was actually a bit concerned for Mycroft's health after this.
-Mark and Steven love Molly, that's why they keep giving her lovely scenes.  But Sherlock is not in love with her, simple as.  She is a good friend.  She got off lightly!
-Well I thought
