Maybe, but now that I give it more thought I think that the writers may be setting something up here. Sherlock mentioned that he can be cruel, which we've seen in 'M'... maybe this season will eventually feature him at his darkest? We've seen that two people are trying to manipulate him (Moriarty and Mycroft, though possibly for different reasons). However, in this episode he's being manipulated more directly. Maybe his response to that is foreshadowing what he could become if he finds out about his brother's machinations?

I hope you're right! I would definitely like to see that.

Yes, good points! Sherlock seemed rather edgy to me in general with the whole should have let her frame him/should frame him myself/getting a restraining order bits etc. And I think this edginess, plus the tension and conflicts between Sherlock, Joan and Gregson made him less observant and easier to manipulate into making mistakes. It will be interesting to see where they're taking this. Especially if Sherlock actually does spiral out of control and Joan has to be much more asserive to oppose him than she is now.
