Moriarty is in the final scene of this episode and I understand how is links to the next episode but I don't understand if this has connection with the Baskerville episode. Is this the only episode that has nothing to do with Moriarty? I always thought it was but I read somebody writting that he was involved in all the episodes...I'm second guessing myself.

About the final scene there must be some topic here already...
He also appears in Hounds as Sherlock's hallucination, being drugged in Dewer's Hollow.

i could not find any post about. Well he APPEARS as Sherlock's hallucination but what I'm saying is that in this episode he's not behind this case.

I think they must have just been referring to Moriarty's appearances in the episode - he can't have had anything to do with the crime. To me, that's what would reassure Lestrade that Sherlock is innocent. Lestrade was there, and there is no way either Sherlock or Moriarty could have rigged it. It goes back too far.

Yes, that's what I thought. I had read somewhere somebody saying that Moriarty was definitely involved in all episodes and I could not find a way that he was involved in this one. Lestrade KNOWS Sherlock is innocent. Everybody knows. Only Jealous-Donovan would think that he's fake.
