Mary persuaded Sherlock that the texts that were sent to her were just a joke from her friends and made him goof uselessly by the bonfire in which John was burning.
John then crawled out on his own through the other side.
Here is the photographical evidence:



See? Mary was a villain from the very start.

Not yet up on entire canon.  Who is Callan?

I assumed they meant the TV series "Callan" about "a reluctant professional killer".  

From Arianne de Vere - the transcript of the HLV commentary:

Mark: “We had to think, has Mary herself made a decision to change her life? I mean, she meets John Watson and she thinks he’s a very decent man. Is she actually intending to go straight ...”
Sue: “I think so.”
Mark: “... or is it always murky?”
Steven: “My feeling was [that], a bit like John, she can’t really keep away from that. She fits in with these two blokes because she’s got exactly the same problem. ‘I can spend six months without having an adventure, but not seven.’ What other wife is gonna be sending John out to play with Sherlock, and then tagging along? The way she behaves in ‘The Sign of Three’ is preposterous for a bride at a wedding. She likes that world better.”
Mark: “In my head, though, she’s sort of like Callan. She’s a troubled assassin. I don’t want to think she’s being totally evil.”
Steven: “I think the Callan comparison’s terrific – the idea that she’s done bad things but not because that’s what she wants to do.”

Ah, thank you.

But then reinstated to wife!

A 90 minute detective show that's called Sherlock?

Yes, I agree with you on the last part.

Though John remains happy to stay with her.

Well to be fair, there's  not a lot to be happy about.
But they're still together.

Surely that's the happiest moment for everybody on the tarmac and everybody watching the moment?
