MAJOR SPOILERS DON'T READ IF YOU HAVEN'T WATCHED IT YET! I JUST CAN'T CONTAIN MYSELF SO DON'T READ IT! SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS!

OMG I LOVED THIS EPISODE.

First off, Molly totally called Sherlock on being gay. "You remind me of my dad. He's dead. When he got sick, he was really nice and friendly. But...when he didn't think anyone could see him....he looked sad. You do the same. When you think he can't see you.......and I just wanted to let you know....If you need anything..."

Also, "Take my hand" 8DDDD At first I was like "Hey! When did they get handcuffed together?" and then Sherlock pulled that stunt, and then they were running away and Sherlock took John's hand without hesitation and pulled him close. And with the gate they had to jump, when John pulled Sherlock close across the bars, I was grinning like a fool.

"Why do you care? What people say about me, why does it make you mad?" Because he loves you and he trusts you and he knows you're brilliant and it pisses him the f*** (pardon me) off when people talk bad about you! It's not that he doubts you, and you know he would never doubt you. Even when you doubt yourself, he never will.

Speaking of which: When Donovan and that upper cop guy who I can't remember who he is, when they were bad mouthing Sherlock I was just like "John. Punch them in the face. Please. I can't and I know you want you, so do it. Punch them in the face. Punch someone in the face. It's killing me. Just do it!" and then he did and I was so happy! Probably broke that man's nose. Prick deserved it. Donovan does too, but John doesn't hit girls.

And when Sherlock realized that Moriarty had done everything to tear Sherlock down, to burn him, except to kill his heart.....T___T Everything fell to shit and John, no matter what, was always at his side, and he knew he was going to lose that if things kept on.

"I need you, Molly." aka "I need you to do something. Get John as far from here as you can. Protect him. I need to protect him." The difference between Moriarty and Sherlock is not which side they play for. Both may be devils, with Sherlock on the angels' side, but what makes them different is that Sherlock has John, who makes him human.

God, this whole episode, that whole ending, makes me feel poetic and philosophical and I don't even know.

"Do me a favor, John. Keep your eyes on me. Please." T$Q#feav

Lying to John, saying it was all fake....and he cried. Dear lord, Sherlock cried as he said goodbye to John. It probably-no. No. That's a good fic idea. I'll keep that one to myself. <.< >.>

Back to the crying. That scene. My sister and I were all "There's got to be a scene between them before he jumps. There's got to be. He's got to at least text him." And then John showed up and Sherlock called him and "this is my note. That's what people do, right? Leave notes." "Walk back the way you came. Just do it, John. Stop right there. Now look up."

That was so much more emotional that when Sherlock Holmes died in Game of Shadows. John was sitting in 221B and I thought "Domestic camouflage. Please. Domestic camouflage." But no. And then John said he couldn't go back to the flat, not yet.

And what John said at the grave. He made sure they were alone, and then the words. The words. "You were the most human....human being..." "I was alone" "No one will ever convince me that you ever told me a lie" and of course, the last line of the show - dear god it was so sad - "Just....Just one more....One more miracle....for me, Sherlock....Just....just don't be..........dead....Just...for me?........." and then he cried.

The end of this episode reminded me of a fic I read where Sherlock died and John couldn't handle the flat and so he moved out and something like three years later, after all this stuff has happened and John keeps trying to deal with it, Sherlock shows up on his doorstep with a half-baked apology and explanation and John's just like "Stuff it. Just let me cry, you bastard."

I'd like to just point out that I hate John's therapist! With a burning passion! My mother is a therapist. I've grown up around therapist type people and situations. I took psychology and sociology in college. I know how therapy should go if it is going to work and this woman they've given John makes my skin crawl. She is a totally bleeding moron and every time she's on screen, I want to punch her in the face. And I'm practically a pacifist, so take that as you will.

Besides that awful woman, I loved everything about this episode....well, not that Sherlock was getting roasted, but everything else. There was just so much for John and Sherlock and John and Sherlock and it was just so beautiful. My God, I've probably missed something that I'll later think about and be like 'Oh. Crap. I forgot to gush about that too!' but this'll do for now.

HE CRIED! THEY BOTH CRIED! THIS EPISODE! GUH!
