Thinking about Joan's descent after the boyfriend was murdered -- as a writer I think it would have been much MORE interesting if JOAN had started using drugs. The cycle would have come around fully and now Sherlock has to be HER "sober companion." And we all know that doctors are especially at risk for drug abuse. It would have made sense dramatically AND given Sherlock and Joan a stronger connection and reason for working together.
Once Joan announced that she was moving back in and looked a bit bright-eyed and somewhat "off" with Sherlock looking concerned/tender/frightened/guilty, I thought that they were going to start developing her fall in the aftermath of everything that had happened to her. It was the natural next step.

But, alas…

Alas, indeed. :/
