Where's Tom?

He didn't show up in this episode, that's strange, because he remains a misterious character. Do you think he might have something to do with Moriarty's return?

Re: Where's Tom?

I don't think so...he didn't show up because he is a minor minor character, and also because he and Molly are no longer engaged.

Re: Where's Tom?

Oh, so I missed something! When did she say so? It's hard for me with no subtitles.

Re: Where's Tom?

Sherlock says it after she bitch slapped him at the hospital.

He said something like 'Yeah sorry your engagement is over'

Re: Where's Tom?

Yep and then said he was glad she was no longer wearing a ring. Bastard ;)

Re: Where's Tom?

I probably totally missed this one. Do we know Tom isn't Moran? Or the guy with the remarkable resemblance to Sherlock that Moriaty used (yes I know Sherlock said there would be a body in a morgue looking like him but...). I do like the idea that Molly's running joke is her ability to pick men who turn out to be psychopaths.

Re: Where's Tom?

He's sleeping in the spare room, I think (not at Baker Street).

Re: Where's Tom?

I believe Tom is a minor character, not involved in any plot. Molly chose him for looking and dressing like Sherlock. Because she is deeply in love with Sherlock, sure we know that. She didn´t know how long he would be "playing hide and seek" so she tried to live a normal life. Probably after Sherlock´s return she abandoned Tom because she realized how much she still loves Sherlock and no one could be compared to him in her eyes.

..I've always assumed that love is a dangerous disadvantage. Thank you for the final proof...

Re: Where's Tom?

I think she probably ditched him after stabbing his hand with a fork at the wedding when he was rude about Sherlock! ( She seems to have a bit of a violent side to her ;))

Re: Where's Tom?

Molly finally found out that Tom was also a sociopat/psychopat (was not it that what Sherlock realized at the first sight but did not tell her?) and canceled the engagement.

Re: Where's Tom?

No, Sherlock noticed he was a youger version of himself.

Re: Where's Tom?

Sherlock: How is ....Tom?
Molly: Not a sociopat.
Shelock. Still? Good.

Does not it mean that he expect him to prove to be a sociopat one day?

Re: Where's Tom?

No.
He was joking that she fancied him( a sociopath) and had been out with Moriarty( a sociopath).

Re: Where's Tom?

But she chooses the same types and Tom looks like sociopath to me  so I will stick with the explanation.

Re: Where's Tom?

How can somebody look like a sociopath?!

Re: Where's Tom?

To me he just seemed a bit dopey to be honest. He was clearly trying hard to imitate Sherlock Holmes. The way he was dressed when he first came to Baker Street, it was mind boggling. I felt kind of sorry for him.
If we've actually seen the last of him...with Moffat you never know.

Re: Where's Tom?

He was clearly jealous of Sherlock, too - probably knows he can't compete with him in Molly's affections : D
