I’m still not over the fact that, even in his mind palace, when Mary takes John away:
Sherlock knows that Lestrade and Mycroft will stay:
And Lestrade will get into it with him, get his hands dirty, work just as hard as he is:
And Mycroft will shine a light on everything:
Because at the end of the day, while he wants John Watson, needs him. These two have always had his back and always will:
It’s brotherly love but in two entirely different ways. Sherlock is so lucky to have these two. (Obviously John too but he’s been dragged away by Mary!)
