Once John’s dark!mirror starts confessing, he can’t stop...
...but he can only do it after he knows the victim has been “murdered” ~ he still doesn’t know Sherlock loves him. Sherlock. Sherlock, my man, you’ve gotta say it first!

Sherlock: Yes, but I'm very busy at the moment, I have to drink a cup of tea.
Billy: This cup of tea... code?
Sherlock: It's a cup of tea.
Billy: Because you might prefer some... coffee.
*gestures to the Lady in Red in the sitting room*
Me: *at top volume* DRINK CODE FUCKING CONFIRMED!!!
Just discovered your blog through my tjlc tumblr wanderings. I have been interested since the first series (I mean, the 'oh god yes' was all I needed) and.. I was just wondering if anyone had talked much about the emphasis on secretaries Mary:'they know everything' and Mrs. Hudson? I have been refreshing numerous blogs since episode airing and saw that people had theorised she would be bad... any new meta you are aware of? Is she mirrored in Norbury? Thank you so much! xxx
Hi Nonny, welcome to my blog!
I don’t know if I follow your connection between Mary mentioning secretaries/receptionists and Mrs. Hudson. To my knowledge, Mrs. Hudson has never mentioned being a secretary or receptionist (though she was an exotic dancer!) I saw Mary’s receptionist line as making it clear that Mary is mirrored in Norbury: both are bored by lifestyles where they’re overlooked, upset when they’re not recognised for their cleverness, yet also seek refuge from their pasts. Norbury even draws the parallel herself:
“I was tired. Tired of the mess of it all. I just wanted some peace, some clarity. The hostages were killed. AGRA too. Or so I thought. My secret was safe. But… apparently not. Just a little peace. That’s all you wanted too, wasn’t it? A family? Home? Really, I understand.”
Oh yeah! And they both try to kill Sherlock with a bullet to the chest.
None of that sounds like Hudders to me. I don’t buy the dark!Hudders theories at all, sorry! In my reading, she is good, the heart of 221b, and represents home, comfort, love, and family.
TST Initial Reactions
The Holmes Brother wrestling like schoolboys 10/10 would watch all day
Our dads love our acronym-based secret society and think we’re the best and Mark wrote himself a line to tell us so
Mark also assured us that he doesn’t like loose ends, not on his watch
TWINS!!!!!! IT’S GONNA BE TWINS!!!
A few TAB callbacks, not just twins, like why echo lines from a fever dream unless... *whispers MP*
Also used cinematography effect that was used in TAB (the distorted telescoping BG when Sherlock sees the Thatcher shrine)
so much of this felt surreal, I have no idea if we’re in MP or not
SO MUCH WATER
I love Hopkins, she is my wife
Sherlock calling Lestrade Greg (0_0) talk about surreal!
“Mary” calling Sherlock a Dragon Slayer... hm...
John-mirror Hudders sitting in John’s chair
The two big numbers we got: 59... 58... oh hm, what comes next?!!
John saying he “used to” love “Mary”
AJ is a John mirror and Alex is a Sherlock mirror; Alex’s shadow being tortured was straight out of Serbia, and AJ says “I was loyal”
John’s loyalty is a major plot point, with the dog comparison and the AJ mirror, and the idea that he was cheating is a huge red herring
the late night texts make no sense in the context of the redhead
The Redhead is a Red Herring
Amo: I LOVE ~ AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!
The woman who shot “Mary” is a “Mary” mirror: she was a secretary (which “Mary” mentions being earlier in the episode) who was bored with her life and being overlooked and her past caught up with her. Oh yeah, and she tries to kill Sherlock with a gunshot to the chest.
“Mary Morstan” may be dead but we’re not done with AGRA
Molly repeating “anyone” to Sherlock was unnecessary and likely a clue or some sort of coercion ~ her emotional tenor was off
SHERLOCK’S RECURRING DREAMS!!! (see MP speculation above)
THE ELEPHANT ON THE FRIDGE!!!
we’re going to hell and back, they did warn us...
I need TLD yesterday
this is going to be the longest week of my life
