Did anybody count the 3's in the Sign of Three??

I'm starting my list... not just random stuff... I'm talking actual 3's
Like when Sherlock warns Mary's exboyfriend about texting and meeting with Mary...
Sherlock says "you volunteered to be a shoulder to cry on, no less than THREE times".   Then Sherlock tells him..."downgrade, no more than THREE social visits a year... with John present"
There are more... I'm starting a list... see if we can find them all.
Aren't these writers clever?

p.s.
THREE bank robbers in the family clan.

Ok... and right at the end... John, Mary and... what did Sherlock exactly say with the 3? Can't remember the words.

"I will be there for all THREE of you"
Then when they are talking, he says "the sign of THREE" implying "with child"

John said it was a free bar when talking about Harry!

To redeem myself. At the beginning of the reception the photographer takes photos of three subjects in a row; Molly, Lestrade and Mrs Hudson. On each occasion he clicks the shutter 3 times.

I'm turning into a nerd now. Sherlock suggests three best men to John. Billy Kincaid, Gavin Lestrade amd Mike Stamford.
Billy saved three hospitals from closure.

Three writers for that episode: Thompson/Moffat/Gatiss - and of course they did that purposely. The sign of three.

I keep wishing that they very secretly filmed an Episode 4 and will spring it on us as a happy surprise at the end of Three.  Wishful thinking.....

And I said "dangerous" and here you are.

You. It's always you. John Watson, you keep me right.
