#REVIEW SHERLOCK FINAL PROBLEM SERIES#

Mycroft admits the lie, and that he told the same lie to their parents. Mycroft says early on that Eurus died in a second fire she started, and Sherlock immediately says that he's lying because both he and John had met Eurus earlier without realising at the time who she was.However, the ending implies, Sherlock is able to help her recover, as seen with them playing the violin together, eventually with Mycroft and Mr and Mrs Holmes watching at her cell. Bittersweet Ending: Tying into And the Adventure Continues, as well: Sherlock and John eventually go back to their lives, strong and able to recover from the Mind Rape Eurus inflicted on them, but Eurus (despite finally understanding her actions thanks to Sherlock) is sent back to Sherrinford due to her actions.Big 'NO!': Sherlock, John, and Mycroft all give one at once when the governor is about to shoot himself.For that to work, she must've known that Moriarty would fail to kill Sherlock, that any other threats on the lives of him, John, or Mycroft would fail, too, that all three would manage to escape the explosion on Baker Street without dying or getting any serious injuries (if one of them had been injured, he couldn't have come to Sherrinford with the other two), that Mycroft would decide the best way to deal with Sherrinford's compromised security was to visit there personally instead of having Eurus moved somewhere else, that the three men would not bring any backup with them, and so on and so on shifting the whole thing into definite Gambit Roulette. Since the Moriarty tapes were recorded before his death, and they include one where Moriarty predicts Sherlock would shoot Mycroft instead of John, Eurus must've known years ago that the three men would eventually end up in this scenario. Indeed, it turns out Eurus has played a ridiculously long and complex Batman Gambit on Sherlock and Mycroft.

Though, given that the head is serving Eurus, probably a higher Batman Gambit by her on the Holmes brothers is playing out. Turns out the old fisherman is Mycroft and the guard is Sherlock, who now has a key to Eurus's cell. Played against the head of the Sherrinford facility, with the head thinking an old bearded fisherman is Sherlock Holmes and sending the guard in the room with him to Eurus's cell.Ate His Gun: The governor of Sherrinford shoots himself in the head from under his chin in order to save his wife.A phrase that is repeated throughout the latter half of the episode: 'Today we have to be soldiers.'.'Miss me?', 'It is what it is', and 'Redbeard' are all previous arc words that show up again here.Sherlock says it first when Molly asks him to, and is anguished because he's afraid he'll still fail to save her Molly is anguished by being forced to admit her love for him out loud since she's afraid Sherlock's just playing a cruel joke on her. Anguished Declaration of Love: Sherlock and Molly to each other, in a variation.

A time lapse montage shows them rebuilding the Baker Street flat to its original lived-in form before meeting a series of unusual clients. Sherlock and Watson return to the Baker Street apartment, where they find another message from Mary imploring them to stay together. Realising that she will continue to test him until someone he cares for dies, Sherlock tries to connect with her on an emotional level, offering her the love and relationship with a brother that she never had, and Eurus stands down.

She subjects the trio to a series of ordeals, testing their morals by forcing them to choose which of her victims live and die and ultimately forcing Sherlock to confront the memory of 'Redbeard', a childhood friend whose death set in motion events that saw Eurus incarcerated. Although Mycroft is skeptical at the suggestion that she has escaped, the trio discover that Eurus has compromised the staff and controls the entire Sherrinford asylum. Sherlock, Watson and Mycroft venture forth to Sherrinford, a maximum-security psychiatric facility where Eurus is housed. Eurus steps up her attacks on Sherlock, culminating in the bombing of his Baker Street apartment.

Sherlock and Watson, who had been shot with a tranquilizer by Eurus, trick Mycroft into acknowledging her existence.
