Oh my god!

I am so happy and relieved that I LOVED it from start to finish!!!
LOVED. IT.

WOOAAAAAAHHH...

glad you feel the same. WHAT an episode!

I thought for a moment that it was Moriarty! But a sister... well, not that we didn't see it as a possibility, yet NOT hiding in plain sight!!! AWESOME!

WHAT?????

I am in no way okay

Wow! Absolutely loved this one! It was kind of obvious the therapist was the lady in red (whom we'd already guessed was also the bus stop lady!), but I didn't make the Sherrinford connection until just before she said! Can't wait till next week!

So much to say!

WOOOOOW! What an epsiode, what a roller coaster ride! Loved it!

That's as coherent as I can get right now.

Oh... and guess what screenshot was the first one on Tumblr?

I'm just hopping like a mad bunny here.
I loved it.
The suspense (is the daughter real?), trippy Sherlock, Sherlock wanting to die, I loved Mary in this one, and John's confession, and Irene's text (or I love Irene!), and the hug, and GAAARH EVERYTHING!

Mrs Hudson really came into her own in this one. And loved ghost Mary, trying to keep John right. That was really touching.

Culverton was a wonderful, creepy, believable villain.

I am still overwhelmed. What an episode.

And the hug ...

**Posted by Sherlock Holmes** January 8, 2017 10:38 pm

YES THE HUG

**Posted by Liberty** January 8, 2017 10:39 pm

Yes, loved Irene's text ... and then Sherlock admitting to occasional texts back! What a sweetie he is! And hugging John, not even awkwardly. So loveable in this episode.

Culverton was horrible, I could hardly watch when entered Sherlock's sick room.

Mrs. Hudson is my new hero! She outplays the British Government, the world's only consulting detective AND his blogger. All the hats of for her!

And the hug!

And the Woman! Sherlock admits to feelings!

Oh, Sherlock walking for miles round London, just to spell out 'F-ck off' and 'B-llocks' to Mycroft!

**Posted by ewige** January 8, 2017 10:42 pm

Love repetant Sherlock, even it it breaks my heart.

But the hug was epic too!

**Posted by Vhanja** January 8, 2017 10:43 pm

I couldn't watch - it wasn't even just a hit, he properly throttled him! My god!

**Posted by Vhanja** January 8, 2017 10:46 pm

And Lady Smallwood hitting on Mycroft - omg, it doesn't get much better than that. (I actually thought they'd just had sex seeing as they were both putting their coats on).

**Posted by Ivy** January 8, 2017 10:46 pm

OMG, you think everything is alright again and then that. But I'm not sure how I feel about that there really is a brother who turns out to be a sister now. And for such nice parents how is it possible to produce three of those weird people. And Mycroft is calling or meeting her regularly, is he in it or a unaware of her shit?!

So many question! Tumblr will be explode the whole week.

Honestly Ben needs to get all awards in the world for this episode.

I cried when John confessed to Mary and then cried and Sherlock hugged him, that was so beautiful, Mary was so priceless.

And Mycroft and Lady Smallwood? ;) I'm not sure if I want to see that. But funny scene, nonetheless.

I don't know how to sleep now. And I can't wait for next Sunday and I'm also dreading it. Because I'm fearing how it'll be ending and also that it'll be the last episode for some time.

**Posted by ewige** January 8, 2017 10:46 pm

And then Sherlock says John has every right to do so... Oh my. The FEELZ!
