The episode started off with some light humor between Sherlock and Mycroft which had me laughing and wanting to hashtag, #OhWhatABeautifulMorning. It was nice and had promise on the search for what Moriarty had in store. Plus all the cute scenes with Rosie, John and Mary's newborn daughter. Seeing a baby thrown in the mix of this trio was just adorable and quite funny.
Sherlock thinks he is on the right track when he sees that busts of Margret Thatcher were being broken. He hides out at a house that would be robbed next and catches the thief in the act. Only when Sherlock confronts him, he realizes it is not what he thinks. Sherlock breaks the bust himself and sees a familiar memory stick hidden inside. It was the same one that John had thrown in the fire when he found out who Mary really was. The man tells Sherlock he is going to kill Mary and nothing is going to get in his way. Sherlock made a promise that he would protect Mary no matter what, and said that he would always protect her.
Mary makes a run so that she could get the target away from John, Rosie, and Sherlock. She thinks she is protecting them, but of course Sherlock isn't going to let that happen. Marry is surprised when she finds that Sherlock was right on her tail and was there to bring her home to protect her. The man that worked with Mary is named AJ, and he finds Mary because he was tracking Sherlock. He tells them that he heard them say it was the English lady. So AJ thought it was Mary that betrayed the team and left them for dead. Turns out that was not the case, but before AJ could say anymore he was shot and killed. They go back home and you see that John Watson is not the goodie goodie we thought him to be. He got the attention of another woman he saw on the bus, and got her number. He was going to toss it but instead he texted her. They talked for a bit and John did not have a chance to tell Mary.
Sherlock had figured out who the English lady was, and I didn't really see that coming. It was British government secretary Vivian Norbury. She was arrested, but not before she killed Mary Watson. I did not expect that when this episode started. Sherlock explained how miserable Vivian was and how she wanted to get back at everyone. She outsmarted everyone but not Sherlock Holmes, and he let her know that. She then pulled a gun on him but when she made the shot Mary jumped in front of the bullet. She was shot and she died right there in the Aquarium in front of Sherlock and John. It was heartbreaking and John blames Sherlock for the whole thing. Of course Sherlock kind of blames himself it seems when he then is in therapy because he needs to know what to do about John. John wants nothing to do with Sherlock at all. Sherlock even asks Mrs. Hudson when he gets too full of himself, and too sure of himself to simply say "Norbury" to him. Of course so that he will remember what happened to Mary the last time he did.
There is of course bigger stuff to come as we find out more about Moriarty maybe even Mary? It was a great first episode back and I cannot wait till next week. Thank you for reading everyone.
