maybe I'm being too optimistic but for me, the thing with Irene could probably be something related to his detective work? something terrible!! happened of course for him to break the way he did--maybe it was a big case and people died. maybe Irene was one of them? (though I wouldn't like this option, I certainly don't want her to be dead)
idk, maybe it's just me being hopeful!! but we'll just have to wait and see
My hunch is she's not dead. If I remember correctly, the writers tweeted that we would see her. *nods*
Maybe the fact she beat him is what kicked off Sherlock's downward spiral? Instead of gaining his respect, he ended up resenting her and questioning his abilities and turned to drugs to cope? Canon-with-a-twist.
