Hello. I just wanted to ask, I keep seeing stuff on my dash about John shooting mary? Did I miss something??
Hello! I don’t usually get asks like this and it caught me by surprise to be honest. But, I will certainly do my best to answer it for you!
There’s a theory going around called The Alibi Theory. Basically, the idea of it is that John is the one who killed Mary in order to save Sherlock’s life, and everything that happened in TST was simply Sherlock building an alibi for John so he - you know - doesn’t go to prison for killing someone. They showed us this potential clue at the beginning of TST where we see recreated video footage of Sherlock shooting CAM, and it’s actually a sniper being the one to shoot him. We obviously know it was indeed Sherlock that killed him, but it created an alibi to keep Sherlock in London (but out of prison) to solve the whole Moriarty thing.

Personally, I’m still not entirely sure what I want to believe right now. I don’t know if it’s all real, if only parts of it are real, or if none of it is real, and I was hoping that would get cleared up in TLD last night but it just made things worse, I think 😳😅 so now I’m hoping things are clarified in TFP, and I’m sure they will be. Sorry I rambled a bit, and I’m also terrible at explaining things, but I hope this helped a little! 😊
