I don't really know what to think anymore. Last week's episode was good and exciting, even though I found Sherlock being so very obvious in his distress overdone. The revelation about Mycroft's MI6 involvement was nice, especially because Mycroft playing dumb was entirely unbelievable.

And now we are seriously expected to believe that Sherlock wasn't only in the dark about Mycroft's true career but also about his mental capacity, even if they are estranged. Come on, that is ludicrous.

This episode should have been about Joan, but despite the fact that she finally managed to tell Sherlock about moving out, everything turned out to be about Sherlock and Mycroft instead. Sherlock and Joan's reunion was disappointing. Although I have to say, that the fact that Mycroft went back to MI6 to protect Sherlock was apparently enough to make everything else suddenly okay and to not only jump into bed with him but also introduce rather terrifying talk of 'we' and 'our' was so much worse. What on earth are they doing with Watson? I can only hope that all this was nothing but some wild life-affirming monkey sex after a traumatic experience and she will snap out of it in the next episode.

Also West's wife knowing so much about his work and neither Sherlock or Joan batting an eye? She's probably an agent herself and the mole on top of it. Otherwise that would be ridiculous, even considering West's illness.

I completely agree p_for_pokadots. I was really hoping to see Sherlock give Joan more attention a hug, a light kiss on the forehead something to show his feelings for her, instead we get this stare and asks if She's alright. Now as for the dead agent, the ex-wife has to be an agent, there's no way she'd be able to get that intel, not even if the guy talked in his sleep. Just complete bs.
