I hope not.
Because I think those final shots of the relationship built between Euros and Sherlock are just beautiful and so touching.

Well, not me .
I took this to be a beautiful ending:  Sherlock knows exactly how Euros feels...
If he'd 'gone the wrong way', he could well have ended up like her himself.
He also knows how it is to be stuck in solitary...and he only had it for a week.
Most of all, fellow musicians share a special kind of communion.

Yes, that's an interesting one...did she compose?

Oh of course...so certainly a lyricist and yes, could put a tune to it!

I say Eurus did't even kill Redbeard. She just put him in a well and was waiting for Sherlock to come to her for assistance. She didn't actually plan on killing him. That wasn't her goal. And she was just a five year old. Secondly, she burnt the house. Not a big deal. In human history there have been worse things done out of jealousy. Even "normal" children sometimes do weird things. She was just a child misunderstood, lacking attention from her brother and family. The biggest mistake was made when Eurus was taken away from home and locked up. They could have chanelled her in the right way. Instead they chose to isolate her. This is not fair. I want Eurus free!
Moreover, I believe it is possible for her to adapt in the world without killing. She is not a killer by passion. She doesn't take pleasure in it. It was just a means for her of observing Sherlock, studying his reaction. She is not hopeless. If just one hug by Sherlock had such an impact on her, i suppose, a course of therapy from him can cure her. It looks like Sherlock's started that course through violin duets. Provided we have another season, I hope Sherlock gets Eurus out of Sherrinford.

But if the things she says are true, they are more disturbing  ... spending a night making Sherlock laugh without realising that he was screaming.   And the horrible story about not knowing whether the person she had sex with was male or female after she'd finished with them (that was as an adult, but still).   It would be nice to think she could be saved, though.

She more or less said that:  I wanted to play, you had a best friend and I didn't.
I certainly think she needed special care and I think Sherlock recognises that.
I can understand the family concern and why she was interred.  But Sherrinford was a soulless place.  Having said that: she controlled any medic who attempted to help her.
I think she possibly does need to be kept interred, but at least now Sherlock is helping her.
I'm not hopeful of another season.  But it would have been interesting to see what happened with Sherlock and Euros.

 

I assume if she just meant to kill the boy as an end in itself, there wouldn't have been any riddle-song.

I personally think she just didn't care if he was found or not...if he had been, she may have had another go at him.

 That's open for interpretation. Can't be proven

She was a child. It's hard to tell how her brain observed the situation. She could be scared as well of what she's done. Scared the parents would be angry. We would never know. Maybe she was waiting till the very last moment for Sherlock to come to her room. But he never did. And to hell with Redbeard. Even Sherlock forgot him. Prolly wasn't that good of a friend. Family comes first.

I was kidding.
