chicafrom3More Broadway alum! This week it's Laura Benanti as Sherlock's first murderer.
Oh, God, I think Sherlock, Joan, and Marcus dealing with the uncooperative clerk at the sex shop is my new favorite scene in this whole series. "I'll wait here. With my badge on. Greeting customers."
I like how they're developing Joan's skills as a detective, so now she can deduce Sherlock -- to an extent, and not as quickly as he deduces others, but she can still do it. And figuring out that there's too many air vents in the room! "You know, you're starting to sound like your partner."
And oh man he used to call himself "Shawn" because he was intimidated by the name "Sherlock", that's so cute. And also sad. And now I'm thinking about tiny teenage Sherlock getting bullied and using a fake name and corresponding with a murderer and I'm making myself sad.
I also really like how bizarre everyone's explanations for why they're not the killer were. I didn't kill him, I just dressed his dead body up in fetish gear and hired a dominatrix so the company wouldn't have to pay out benefits! I didn't kill him, I was too busy preparing to kill him! WTAF, guys.
"It seems that killing your father and framing Abigail was an idea whose time had come."
:( :( :(
And then Abigail goes and takes the fall for Graham and OH GOD I wasn't prepared for how disquieting this ending is after things like Shawn Holmes and the wife's alibi and SHE JUST DOESN'T WANT HIM TO LIVE WITH THE STIGMA SHE'S LIVED WITH AND OH GOD
And then Sherlock's telling Graham to talk to somebody, because it helps, and offers himself as an ear if Graham doesn't want to tell somebody new the whole story and ... I WASN'T PREPARED.
I'm honestly surprised by how genuinely upset the ending of this episode made me.
