These include extracting an “I love you” from Molly Hooper (Louise Brealey), who was truly in love with Sherlock, shooting the warden dead to save his wife, and quickly figuring out who among a list of three suspects killed a man, all the while trying to help the child in the plane. They were then given psychological tortures and puzzles in each room they were allowed to go through. Watson, who was also knocked down by the guards, woke up to a cell similar to Eurus’ with Sherlock, Mycroft and the facility warden. What they talked about during that brief time wasn’t elaborated, but five minutes was enough to have Eurus learn a lot about Sherlock and concoct whatever plan she had. Mycroft sent for him as a Christmas present to his sister, who wanted five minutes of unsupervised conversation with the season 2’s main villain. Sherrinford’s warden was revealed to have been brainwashed by Eurus as well.Ĭut to five years prior, Moriarty (Andrew Scott) landed from a helicopter to Sherrinford. She knocked him out while the staff apprehended Mycroft and Watson. He did and promptly discovered that there was no glass. Eurus instead beckoned him to touch the glass. He demanded to know how she escaped from the facility and disguised herself as Faith Smith ( “The Lying Detective”). The title character found his sister in an elaborate glass cell playing the violin. Sherlock sought out Eurus’ cell alone while the two fooled and schooled the security about the lax in their system. However, Eurus was described as an “era-defining genius beyond Newton.”Īfter surviving a blast from a motion-detecting grenade attached to a drone Eurus sent to Sherlock’s 221B apartment, Sherlock, Watson and Mycroft set out to Sherrinford. The Holmes were smart siblings who all had “the deduction thing,” as Watsons called it. It was of course a lie meant to spare their parents from pain. Mycroft told their parents that Eurus died in the facility after she started another fire (she set their ancestral home on fire before she was taken away). He protected Sherlock from the trauma and took it upon himself to visit Eurus in psychiatric facility/prison Sherrinford. Mycroft, as the eldest and perhaps already in his pre- or early teens at that time, had to live with the disturbing memory. Only that Redbeard turned out not to be a pet, but a child, Sherlock’s childhood best friend. As Mycroft explained, Sherlock, in an effort to protect himself from trauma, erased her from his memory when she killed their family dog, Redbeard. In London, Sherlock and Watson, who was alive after it was revealed he was only shot with a tranquiliser last episode, used scare tactics to force a confession from Mycroft about Eurus, whom Sherlock couldn’t recall at all. She was able to speak to another person not in the plane when a mobile phone rang, only to discover it’s Moriarty’s voice on the other line.
Sherlock season 1 episode 3 summary full#
The episode started with a child in a commercial aeroplane full of sleeping adults, including the pilot. Even Mr and Mrs Holmes (played by Cumberbatch’s parents Timothy Carlton and Wanda Ventham) made an appearance.
The episode was truly a family affair, with Sherlock, older brother Mycroft (Mark Gatiss) and honorary brother John Watson (Martin Freeman) solving riddles prepared by their youngest sister Eurus (Sian Moore). It did feature a lot of heartbreaking scenes, but it otherwise ended with a relatively happy note. “Sherlock” season 4 finale did not end with Sherlock’s death. However, he already did (and promptly returned) in season 2 episode 3 “The Reichenbach Fall,” and to kill him again would take away the unpredictability the show is known for. The obvious assumption was to have Sherlock (Benedict Cumberbatch) die in the finale as well. “The Final Problem” was Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s short story, in which he had Sherlock and Moriarty killed at the Reichenbach Falls after a final confrontation. Spoilers ahead for ‘Sherlock’ season 4 episode 3 The UK show’s season 4 finale is no doubt its most suspenseful yet. “The Final Problem” started off with a dreadful plane ride, continued with shocking twists and turns, and ended with lots of questions.
“Sherlock” season 4 episode 3 might be its last ever.
