![]() ![]() Sure, the fact that she can manipulate people so easily seemed very contrived but this was what set up the rest of the episode. This was when things got exciting as we got to see the full extent of Eurus’ abilities. ![]() They then set forth for this island facility. ![]() She then set their house on fire and was taken away to a secure facility on an island, or at least that’s what Mycroft thought because she obviously escaped. After their dog, Redbeard, went missing, she claimed responsibility but would refuse to tell anyone what she did with him and sang a song which she claimed to be the answer to what she did. Mycroft told us a story about a different girl who was smarter than the two of them. After tricking Mycroft into admitting Eurus’ existence, we learn that Sherlock has no memory of her whatsoever. This episode was more of an exploration of the past as it focused heavily on the lives of Sherlock, Mycroft, and the rest of the Holmes family. The cliffhanger from that episode was anticlimactic and it was even more so here as John, who appeared to have been shot, was shot but ended up just fine at the beginning of this one. No Moriarty after all, so to speak, leaving us with one criminal genius for our characters to deal with which was Sherlock and Mycroft’s sister Eurus (Sian Brooke), who revealed herself at the end of the previous episode. Starring: Benedict Cumberbatch, Martin Freeman, and Mark Gatiss. Sherlock and John face their greatest ever challenge. Synopsis: Long buried secrets finally come to light as someone has been playing a very long game indeed. Better time than any as the reveal and Moriarty looming in the background sets this up to be an exciting episode. Barring a big reveal near the end of the episode, the last episode didn’t offer much as it was just one big smokescreen in order to get Sherlock and John back together, like there was any doubt that it wasn’t going to happen.
