Simple logical chain of thought ...one plus one equalling two..

Yes; once you remove the assumption that Mary is a nice person and look simply at what actually happened in the episodes then the logical chain of thought you have outlined becomes obvious.

Of course, the writers can come back next season and upturn everything, but so far they have provided a lot of information which would support Mary not being a nice person...


 

This deduction has even shocked me.
I am further convinced Sherlock plays the long game.

She colluded in killing the same husband she proved later that she would do anything to save?  And with the man that she wanted to kill?

Not seeing it.

 
Evidence ..thought process?
The plan did not involve killing john?.

There is no evidence that she was either colluding with CAM or betraying John and Sherlock.  I see plenty of evidence AGAINST it, though.

Please share?

The evidence that she DIDN'T collude with CAM?

1. Neither she nor CAM mention it
2. CAM is blackmailing her and he states his reasons why
3. She would have killed CAM if Sherlock hadn't interrupted them
4. She says that she would do anything to save her relationship with John.  You don't say that after you willingly throw your husband into a bonfire.

There's still no evidence FOR her being in collusion with CAM.
 

1 evidence for.
2 evidence for.
3 yes. Why? Evidence for.
4 how could she refuse?
Plan was just kidnapping...drugging..little bit of heat...saying..
She wouldn't is not logical.plan comes under...anything!
More evidence for.

I don't recall Mary doing anything to save John. She told Sherlock that she would do anything to prevent John finding out about her past, but Sherlock wasn't threatening John.

The person who threatened John was CAM, who proved it by arranging for him to be kidnapped and placed inside a bonfire, but Mary did not shoot CAM. She shot Sherlock, who was the person who had rescued John from the bonfire.

Definitely not seeing it...

You're right, she did NOTHING to save John...

...except get Sherlock for help, go with Sherlock to the bonfire and help Sherlock drag him out of the fire.

But there is absolutely no evidence that she colluded with CAM.  Just because you don't think she 'helped enough' isn't evidence of Mary trying to kill her fiance and colluding with her blackmailer.

Idk either.@Kitty
But look up. That comes under anything for..
She did collude.

I know that people like it when things are black and white.

NEWSFLASH  - life is not black and white

There are grey areas, and this is one of them. 

Well, glad to see that your education paid off!

You do not see this as making sense or evidence?
