Just to add a little fuel to the fire of that last post<\/a>\u2026<\/p>\n

In\u00a0The Empty Hearse,<\/em> Sherlock was pulled out of Eastern Europe* to deal with an emergency back home.<\/p>\n

By that evening, Mycroft was so focused on tracking something in Eastern Europe that he could barely be bothered to look up from his computer when Lestrade came to ask about his missing brother.<\/p>\n

After Sherlock\u2019s recovery, Mycroft mentioned MI6 wanted to place Sherlock back into Eastern Europe.<\/p>\n

But for the second time<\/em>, an emergency in England put an abrupt end to one of Sherlock\u2019s Eastern European undercover excursions.<\/p>\n

So it seems to me that it\u2019s worth at least\u00a0considering<\/em> the possibility that \u201cMiss me?\u201d wasn\u2019t about keeping Sherlock home so much as keeping him away from whatever\u2019s going down in Eastern Europe. A good mental exercise and chance to shake up our assumptions, if nothing else.<\/p>\n

* [Eastern Europe is defined in a number of ways, and the countries said to be part of it vary. Here\u2019s an example of a definition<\/a> that labels both Serbia and Poland as part of Eastern Europe. I personally feel Mycroft\u2019s Ugly Duckling mission map plus his saying MI6 wanted Sherlock \u201cback\u201d in Eastern Europe when the last foreign country Sherlock had been in was Serbia is enough to consider both countries part of Eastern Europe as the show sees it, but YMMV.]<\/small><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
