I agree! This episode was genuinely frightening...not just because the killer was threatening but because Sherlock was on shaky emotional ground multiple times...his satisfaction at solving the original bridge suicide morphing into guilt that drove much of his actions, his loss of control when he broke his finger, his refusal to bend to Watson's insistence that he tie things up neatly at the end. I don't at all mind a character doing morally questionable or regrettable actions if I trust that there's something enlightening on the horizon. The journey wouldn't be very interesting without a few dark valleys!
