BBC Sherlock Fan Forum - Serving Sherlockians since February 2012 / Sherlock and Eurus - do they like each other?

I'd say yes - even if Euros was undoubtedly playing a role. But she also did not kill Sherlock when she easily could have in Sherrinford...

But what I can't get over is how much more real, honest, Sherlock's smiles and laughs seem during his walk with Faith. I think he does look nicer and sweeter than we've ever seen him before! How does Benedict do it? Awesome! (Or is it just that I have a thing for beard stubble? Do you see it as well?)

I think Sherlock does love his sister and as she is healed(by Sherlock), Eurus grows to love him.

I suspect it would have been a very different story if she had killed John as she had previously killed Victor. Fortunately, she didn't.

Yes, Sherlock helped her to redeem herself...

I felt so sad that she was playing a role as Faith, as the two of them seemed to genuinly like each other. Imagine what relationship Sherlock and Eurus could have had if she had been more like that towards him?

In another life...she could have been.
Maybe she'll end up that way.

Yes, it does pull at one's heartstrings. It's almost as if Eurus was "obligated" to act a certain way towards Sherlock in Sherrinford when he knew who she was. I wonder if inside she's more like herself as Faith when there aren't other things going on.

If the poor girl had actually received the specialist treatment she needed, things may have been different.
S 5 or not, my personal head canon is that as Eurus heals, she will gradually revert to the more Faith like character..though personally I could do without the floaty dresses and skirts! Ha.

Haha. I have a feeling that's not her fashion style. But I agree that the end of the Final Problem suggests the start of a journey towards healing, even if it is not idyllic or completely smooth.
