I think there is some duality in the fact that Mary could be Moriarty, and Molly is Hooper. It’s like the rabbit hole. The mirror image. Sherlock is trying to tell himself something. And maybe…….maybe Sherlock subconsciously thinks that John knows about Mary. Hence John working out Hooper is a female behind Sherlock’s back. It would tie in with the John has his own plan theory, or the Mycroft/John against Mary theory. John worked out on his own that Mary worked for Moriarty, Sherlock knows Mary has stepped into Jim’s role or instigated a coup d’état, and in the MP Sherlock sees John deduce Hooper and doing so without telling Sherlock.
OF COURSE I DID. I CRY EVERY TIME. OH GOSH. THE DANCING LESSONS ARE STILL FOREVER ENGRAINED IN SHERLOCK’S BRAIN. HE THOUGHT THEY SPENT A LOT OF TIME ON IT, BUT NOT ENOUGH TIME TALKING.
OMG. Mini meta time:
Since this sequence is in Sherlock’s head, can we presume that Sherlock thinks they spend too much time DANCING AROUND EACH OTHER instead of TALKING TO UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER?? Sherlock doesn’t think John understands the things Sherlock is trying to say to him. Because what does Watson do in this scene?
John’s confused at the whole conversation that transpired. The same one where Sherlock told Wilder that he and John were ‘together’. Yeah, Sherlock wants to talk about them being together for real, and he thinks John won’t understand when Sherlock will eventually bring it up.
