And she succeeded. Eurus got on his nerves. She broke him mentally at that point, which led him to take his anger out of Molly’s so-called-coffin (he smashed it with his bare hands). She also said that “You didn’t win, you lost. Look what you did to her. Look what you did to yourself. All those complicated little emotions, I lost count. Emotional context, Sherlock, it destroys you every time.“
This means that Eurus saw Sherlock as an emotional person and that Molly was a weakness to him from Eurus’ POV. Eurus didn’t say anything spesifically about Molly’s emotions. She said “all those complicated little emotions”. She is directly telling Sherlock that he has emotions towards Molly and it complicates things (will also complicate things in the future).
That is absolutely what that scene meant in my opinion and I can say that: THIS SHIP HAS SAILED, THE THING I HAD BEEN WAITING FOR FOR 5-6 YEARS. I can finally find peace. Thank God.
FYI, my mom doesn’t watch Sherlock normally but on today’s episode she joined me because she wanted to see if the show was as good as I was telling her.
We were at the coffin scene and then Sherlock and Mycroft said it’s Molly Hooper, her images came to screen and I instantly said to our TV screen Please don’t kill her. Then the scene where Sherlock called her phone came and my mom literally (I’m not lying) asked me if Molly was his girlfriend. I said no. Then she asked me then why are they saying I love you, and I was like JUST WATCH THE SHOW I CAN’T TALK I’M HAVING A HEART ATTACK.
Sherlock texted someone (we don’t know who) and said ‘You know where to find me SH’.
And like after two or three scenes, Molly came to Baker Street.
I know the message was probably for Irene but isn’t that a little odd? I mean she is out there living a new life, trying to stay low and out of side. She couldn’t really come and find Sherlock even if she wanted to.
So… I think, from the balance of probability, the message could also very well be for Molly. Hence she came to Baker Street.
The ‘I love you’ was for her, yes it was forced but let’s look at the facts. (Just like in last season’s trailer, the line: ‘The person he thought didn’t matter at all to me was the one person that mattered the most’ was also for Molly. That means something big, folks. Two out of two trailers, a big line was thrown in front of us and both of them appeared to be towards Molly Hooper. If that doesn’t say anything I don’t know what does.)
1- at first he had a really difficult time saying it because he knew it was a bad thing he was doing. He was playing with her feelings so he was having a dilemma about doing it or not. He was highly stressed.
2- the second time though… THE SECOND TIME I REPEAT. it wasn’t forced anymore. It was relaxed, the words came out of his mouth with such ease. This is not my shipper heart talking y'all, these are the facts. Watch it and you’ll see what I mean. He didn’t even have to repeat himself, but he did.
3- after she also said it and they closed the phone, he literally smashed her coffin which he thought she would be in (because he didn’t know there were actually no explosives at her home) if she hadn’t said I love you. It was too much stress for him and he literally broke after the minute they hung up the phone. That was the last straw for him. Molly was a sensitive topic.
4- how relieved he looked when molly said those three words.
5- He also called her his friend and it was evident he meant it.
Guys. Right now I have no source to make gifs or arts because the episode has just ended. But tomorrow you can expect a flood here. Like seriously, be prepared for your dash to be filled with Sherlolly. I am so dead right now.
(Also the episode felt like it was the ending of Sherlock as a series and I need to know THAT IT WASN’T THE END.)
Alright, so I’ve been getting several other messages on my inbox about how that scene of ‘I love you’ is actually for Molly, but it is forced and part of a plan. I won’t be sharing more messages on this topic because they will just flood the blog if I keep publishing all of them to be honest.
And to be a hundred percent honest, I from the start have always said Sherlock’s I love you sounded forced and sounded like it was some kind of a message. Now that I’ve been getting these inboxes (which I still find them a little hard to believe) I don’t think it is that far fetched, if y’know what I’m saying. It may be towards Molly, why not, but it will be fake probably. I think it will be something that I won’t like, or won’t approve of.
Well it’s almost 1 more day and this season will come to an end too. I am just waiting for the episode to be better than the first two on a lot of aspects to be honest. So… Fingers crossed everyone! x
