Every choice you have ever made, every path you have ever taken, the man you are today, itās your memory of Eurus. - Mycroft Holmes to Sherlock Holmes (heās in 221B, so Iām guessing his interlocutor). (x, check with your own ears).
What a trauma she did to Sherlock so he built his entire life fromĀ one name?Ā
Itās more thanĀ ākill his dogā. Itās deeper. More horrible, I guess; she tried to harm Sherlock. Eurus did something that marked him in a way as deep as the ocean.
āIām a high functioning sociopathā, even thoughĀ ācaring is not an advantageā was taught by Mycroft, all of his self-hatred, his repression, all of this, ALL, was caused by someone. Why is he like this?
The East Wind. Eurus. She was the incarnation of the bedtime story that when he was a kid used to let him terrified. Wonder from where, no, from whom Mycroft took the inspiration for the tale? Eurus Holmes.Ā
The neglected daughter. A sociopath, that wouldnāt mind to do whatever itās needed to be done to get what she wanted.
All Sherlock is, is due to the actions of his, Iām guessing, elder sister.Ā
She must had done something awful, so horrible, that he didnāt see her after that. And he was young, less than 15, Iām sure (intuition, I say). This is why he never identifyĀ āFaithā orĀ āJohnās new therapistā. He doesnāt remember her face in a way he can know how she would be like when she was 40-50 years.Ā
Look at a picture from your childhood. Could a stranger, or your childhoodās friend say you are the same person from the photo, now that you are in your 40ā²s? No. Specially, because Sherlock managed to hide all his memories related to The East Wind, that was always coming to get him in his darkest nightmares.
When he was dying, the monstrous force that would get him wasnāt a fairy-tale. It was his sister. Sort of a representation of the death. Death waits us all in Samarra. Pay attention, people.Ā
He knows, obviously, that Eurus is the god that represents the East Wind, even subconsciously. And Eurus is his beloved sister. But she probably hates him. The gold boy, perhaps?Ā
She wants revenge. But why?
Sheās probably done something when they were kids-teens and was sent away āforeverā, erased from her parentsā photos, transformed into the secret, a person who people related to The Holmeses know that exists/existed, but itās never, ever, mentioned, because it hurts.Ā
Look. After god knows how many years, she comes back, the great force, and do all of that, carefully planned, to burn her brotherās heart. Why would she want to kill John? She is inserted in 221B, she know her brother died, resurrected, was tortured and killed for J. Watson. Itās not the biggest deduction: he loves him deeply.
But there is more, always, we canāt just have this plot twist alone, can we?Ā
She wrote something on that paper:
This sentence has a particular owner. When you use an iconic sentence like that, you have an intention:
You make a relation between two characters. But wait.Ā
They have done this before! Maryās video was entitledĀ āMiss Me?ā. Guys, there is not such thing as coincidences on a television show that is carefully planned and calculated. Specially when āMiss Me?ā was on the fandomās mind for such a long time, three years per Godās sake!
Now, we see Sherlock finding the paper from Faith. But how will he know where to go? A sudden deduction that Faith is Johnās therapist and sheās gonna kill him? Sorry, I love hisĀ āpower of deductionā, but I want to know all of his reasoning if he appears there the moment Eurus squeezes the trigger? And then we get Garridebs and all? It will be dramatic, I will adore it, put on frame, but wait.Ā
Is there the bloodstain, right? However, how did he identify someoneās blood? Just like that. A look. How?Ā
I hope all of these questions will be answered in The Final Problem, also known as Family Business. No wonder why the Russians preferred this titleā¦Ā
But letās move to another topic:
Whoās Eurus? We presumed sheās Sherrinford, but the possibility is there.Ā
āWhy people stop looking after three?ā (Iām quoting from my mind)
Also, sheās one of the four Windās gods. Wouldnāt be nice, the universe working for Moftiss, if as they are four gods, there are four siblings?
Iāve seen people pointing out that:
1) Sherrinford is Eurusā tower. Where Mycroft keeps her under surveillance, or at least attempt to, but sheās so clever, brother mine, you wouldnāt imagine.Ā
2) Redbeardās is Sherrinfordās nickname when he playsĀ āletās be piratesā. And Eurus killedĀ āRedbeardā, that is, their brother.
3) Redbeard was really Sherlockās dog. Eurus poisoned him. Sherrinford can be anywhere in this equation.
4) Eurus and Sherrinford are the same.
5) Eurus and Sherlock are twins X Sherlock and Sherrinford are twins
Among others. This powerful, intriguing woman is now the focus of attention. Jim wouldnāt be happy, he loves to be the center.Ā
@badsnowfo pointed out about the possibility of all of this trauma being related to how Sherlock perhaps revealed, when he was young, that Mr. Holmes was cheating on Mrs. Holmes. You can find this here + my addition thatās more like a headcanon, but anyway, Iām putting the link.Ā
We have to keep on our minds that whatever she did, this event determined everything that happened after on Sherlockās life. How he acts, how he understands the world. Himself.
And this will be somehow related to The Final Problem, that traces a line to Jim Moriarty, therefore burning Sherlockās heart (apparently, everyone is invested on this, from Eurus to Mary(sheās still a villain, whether you like it, or not)), consequently to John Watson. From there, we have the leaked photo, so the line goes to Mycroft Holmes (M-Theory says hi). And we still have to have on this episode a soft kiss, at least 5 minutes dedicated to this resolution. It shouldnāt be one more among the others that are needed to be given to us. A little bit messy, isnāt it? And donāt forget, please, all The Six Thatchersās inconsistencies. They need to explain it all. In 90 minutes? And do it in a way we get johnlock in the best scenario, as well with all of the others thing. Are you still waiting for The Fallās explication? Good luck with that. Oh, and Johnās letter to Sherlock. Whoās watching from the window. Ā
Now, I believe that Eurus is going to exceed expectations.
And wait. I donāt have the episode here, with me, but arenāt these, behind her, apples? Well then, if they are, you all know this is a blatant nod to Jim Moriarty.Ā
She does a long walk to reach John. She could just shot him from the beginning, no explanations. But she likes the audience. They always do. Whatās the fun if you canāt reveal the truth and see the shock on their faces?
She goes through a lot of trouble.Ā
She is the one John had an affair with, even though it wasĀ ājust textingā.Ā
She is the one who spent a whole evening with Sherlock, leading him to Culvertonās case. Did she pretend to be suicidal just to see what he would do? A glance at her little baby brother before giving a great finale to his life?
She is the one that pretended to be his therapist, just to get him there.
Itās a great plan. So when you take the mask off there is the extra drama andĀ āoh. my. god!ā? All for that?Ā
Oh, I was almost forgettingā¦ there is the hallucination that Sherlock has, twice. He as a child, dressed as a pirate, playing on the beach. Redbeard is there, donāt you remember? There is also someone, some say is Mycroft, others say is a girl. Uou, well done, now you can even name her! Eurus Holmes with her ponytail. But this is a hidden memory. This is why it comes to his mind when:
1) Mary gives him that paper with aā¦ whatās the name? that think that makes him faint? Anyway, I guess you remember, apparently itās called The Church Scene, and it happens on TST.
2) He has a ārelapseā (he screams with pain, the river is there, all that water) when talking to Faith/Eurus about how she canāt get her life from herself, because itās not hers to take, she wonāt be there to doesnāt have it.Ā
So either something BAD happened that day, or itās just one more memory he preferred toĀ ādeleteā about Eurus. But he canāt really delete this kind of information. Itāll be always there, with a fog around. He canāt get rid of her. He knows probably exactly what happened, who she is, but avoid any memory that makes him remember he has a sister.
The only way to get over this trauma is facing it, facing her. And we know heās stronger with John by his side. So, guess heās going to be there if we get a confrontation. Perhaps weāll find next episode, John bleeding, Sherlock finding him, and Eurus already away; because she heard her brotherās men were coming. I donāt know. I donāt believe she is going to get her end in the beginning of TFP. Not really.
Mycroft is going to go to 221B to talk about Eurus. But donāt get hopes about how this chat will clarify everything. Although, at least at the end of the episode, they will pull all the rugs. They need to explain SO MANY THINGS. And the things they will let unsaid, for Season 5, will be different from the last seasons. Now we get the conclusion of an arc. Remember, this is a music! Theater! Something so big is coming that well, Benedict said that after seeing the season we would understand why a time between this and the next season is necessary.Ā
The East Wind comes to get us all, in the end. Ā Ā
