So apparently Sherlock is having fish and chips with the lady in red while sitting and chatting at a bus stop. And since I don't want this to be mind palace, please let her be Harry.

I am quite sure that these scenes take place in his head. They shot the same scene with him sitting at the bus stop twice. Once with the woman, once without her. So it seems that he is playing something through in his mind. I really do not mind that but because if they use it as a means of showing us the working inside his head, it would not erase anything that happened in reality. I think we can agree that Sherlock seems to be in some way impaired in this episode and tries to work out what is happening. He has been carrying a piece of paper in several scenes which he keeps looking at. So this is no blind stumbling, I suppose. I think it is a Sherlock whose mind has been compromised by something - my bets are on poison or drugs but not his usual ones - and who desperately tries to solve the case anyway. 

Well, we'll see how it plays out.

If mind palace, then the woman could be somebody who is already dead, and he's investigating her death - they showed the working of his mind when thinking about a dead victim in ASIP, but now they do seem to like the mind palace (and I like it too, as long as it's not overused). 

And yes, I'm still curious about the middle-aged woman at the house, who apparently looked like she could be Harry. 

(What's the bet that nobody is Harry and she never, ever appears?)

I agree. But I think that he might be in a very stressful situation here. Losing his mental faculties is one of his greatest fears as we have seen in HoB. This together with a physical illness or poisoning might prove too much for him. We have no idea what John's part in all this will be. At least we know that in some scenes he is with him - in Miskin, at the hospital, at Baker Street. So they might be working together while Sherlock is playing out things in his mind. It does not necessarily mean that he is trying to do it all on his own. 
 

Some detail about yesterday´s Setlock:

I'm sure we can't be sure about that. 

That's basically the motto of all setlock, isn't it? 

I'm almost certain that the note Sherlock has been carrying in the presence of the Red Lady is the same note that was tacked onto the board in front of the 'floating window frame in the middle of the street' scene, but I can't for the life of me find those setlock pics to confirm it.

Would someone mind terribly posting the one I'm talking about, if you know of it and can find it?
