TAB THE DECODER HAD SHERLOCK IN HIS HEAD THE WHOLE EP, AND THIS HAD JOHN IS HIS HEAD THE WHOLE EP, AND NEXT WEEK WATERFALL THIS IS LITERALLY THE SAME EXACT STORY DOWN TO THE IRENE DEFLECTION IN THE BIRDHOUSE

THE ONLY PLACE TO GO FROM HERE IS THE WATERFALL

down to the deerstalker!!! john handed it to sherlock right before they left to go find the cult of women, you’re sherlock holmes, you wear the damn hat, and now THAT’S WHERE THEY ARE IN THE STORY

THEY LITERALLY TOLD US WHERE THEY ARE IN THE STORYLINE

watsonshoneybee:

like they’re finally working through all the pent up fear and frustration that’s been lingering ever since the Fall. that’s what this whole episode was about. they’re cycling back into the way their relationship was before it shattered on the pavement outside Barts’ hospital, and this time, John was there on time to save him.

JOHN WAS THERE ON TIME TO SAVE HIM!!!! IN A HOSPITAL!!! WHERE SHERLOCK WAS TRYING TO KILL HIMSELF!!!! JOHN’S GUILT FROM BARTS’ CONFRONTED AND RESOLVED!!!!

mary says, “a code word. ammo. like ammunition.” how very telling that mary mistakes love for a weapon, where sherlock understands love is the answer. (x)

ok but also

sherlock: sees a thatcher shrine

sherlock: immediately knows something evil is happening

We didn’t even hear the heartbroken version of John’s theme – John isn’t going to grieve over Mary in the same way as he did over Sherlock, and from what we’ve seen from series 1 onwards I can hazard a guess as to why

The heartbroken John theme actually does play, but only in the bit at the end when Sherlock goes to ask if he can help, and Molly tells him John would rather have anyone other than him. And it ends when Mary says Save John Watson, so there’s more evidence to the that being a threat.
