Re: Mary – the subject of discussion
I think Mummy Holmes is perfectly justified in her feelings, but I think if she did kill Mary (unless there are further developments) it would be a tragedy all round. And of course, another murder to cover up.

I dream of something similar as in Harry Potter 7.2. The encounter between Molly Weasley and Bellatrix Lestrange....
Totally!!!

Re: Mary – the subject of discussion
Possibly ... Mycroft must be getting fed up of finding inventive ways to keep close family members out of prison!

Re: Mary – the subject of discussion
Heh. If Mary doesn't have to go to prison for shooting Sherlock, (And killing lots of people as an Assassin) , Mummy has nothing to worry about. T

Re: Mary – the subject of discussion
Mummy Holmes can always claim she was scared of Mary, can´t she?

Well she could...but I can't say I've seen any sign of that.

And she was overwhelmed by her protective mother instincts! She only hit Mary a little. Just a little bruising and a black eye, and of course, prison. She actually did Mary a favor by carefully calculating what part of Mary's face to hit for the minimum amount of damage caused...
Oh, no.... I feel a plot bunny nipping at my ankles.

So it would have been surgery. She will be forgiven and everything shall be fine. 
As an aside: I am currently watching a Russian Holmes adaptation. I stumbled over this quote: "A shot to the liver is fatal."

Re: Mary – the subject of discussion
Well I think somebody else may wipe out Mary, before she gets a chance.
And I suspect that besleybean is right.

Re: Mary – the subject of discussion
That would have to be her fate, since it was in canon. The ACD Mary died (while Holmes was on hiatus), so to remain true to canon, the BBC Mary will have to die, too, and so will the baby.

Re: Mary – the subject of discussion
Not nice that the BBC team introduced a baby...
Unless they suspect Canon Mary died in childbirth.

Re: Mary – the subject of discussion
There was no baby in Canon, so there is no reason that she should die on the show.
