It’s easy to assume that Mary’s Immediately telegram is from Mycroft because she says England needs her help (which can be interpreted as Mycroft aka the British government) and because we later see her at the Diogenes receiving instructions from Mycroft.
However, that scene at the Diogenes actually doesn’t take place until months later within the storyline of the Ricoletti case. Mary receives the telegram the day that John and Sherlock head to the morgue to check out Emelia’s body. The scene with her at the Diogenes isn’t until after Mycroft has convinced Sherlock to accept Lady Carmichael’s case, which John specifically tells us in his narration is several months later.
Just because Mary has been summoned there by Mycroft at this point in the story does not mean that the telegram at the beginning was from him.
Do you think after this John will be terrified every time Sherlock says he needs to go to his mind palace?
Sherlock carelessly like “Get out, I need to go to my mind palace” and John not moving or saying anything until Sherlock looks at him and sees that he looks so pained and afraid, and Sherlock’s expression softens, and his cheeks flush, and he feels terrible, and he says in the smallest voice, “It’s not…like that.”
@highfunctioninggaybaby you like angst, right? here, have some. 😀
Moffat and Gatiss just filmed 90 minutes of the internal monologue of a tortured queer genius drug addict off his tits on coke, wrapped it up in a gothic mystery, and then gave it to us as a late Christmas present.

great review!
“Moriarty’s queerness, never subtle to begin with, is undeniable at this point. He’s been in Sherlock’s bed, he shows up dressed as a bride, he says the one thing everyone is thinking when he tells Sherlock and Watson to elope. He even straddles Sherlock and kicks him about in a scene painfully reminiscent of Irene Adler. And it’s all in Sherlock’s mind. This isn’t Moriarty telling Sherlock that he’s his weakness – this is the great detective telling himself that.”
