D'you know what I love about so very many Sherlock episodes? How something Moriarty said, or did, or is said to have done, or is hoped to have done -- results in Sherlock getting sudden inspiration and/or strength. (Indeed, Moriarty, more so than John, appears to be Sherlock's bright light in the fog.)

"No flowers by request" is a standard phrase used in notices of a person's death and funeral details. I did go back and listen a few times when I typed that line and it could be either, but to me it makes more sense that he's using the standard phrase.

This is the best game of Chicken ever.
SHERLOCK: I’m remembering the governor. (Holding the pistol in both hands, he lifts the muzzle and presses the end under his chin.) SHERLOCK (calmly): Ten ... (Eurus frowns.) EURUS: No, no, Sherlock. (John looks briefly to Mycroft then back to Sherlock.) SHERLOCK: Nine ... (Both of the others stare at Sherlock in horror.) SHERLOCK: Eight ... EURUS: You can’t! SHERLOCK: Seven ... EURUS (urgently): You don’t know about Redbeard yet. (Sherlock has lowered his left hand, continuing to hold the muzzle under his chin with the other.) SHERLOCK: Six ... EURUS (anxiously): Sherlock! SHERLOCK: Five ... EURUS (loudly, panicked): Sherlock, stop that at once!

There's a similar scene in one of my favorite Sherlock fanfics: All the Best and Brightest Creatures by wordstrings and it's just as exciting. Or scary. Or thrilling. However you would phrase it.
I would definitely recommend that story, by the by. It's incredibly well-written and sucks you in for the entire 200,000+ novel. Your only problem will be lack of sleep (bc you never wish to put it down...)
I like the scenes of the "trials" they have to undergo to amuse Eurus, except the one with Molly. It somehow made me feel embarassed for both of them. I think it was acted beautifully, they both did a very good job, but it's the one scene that I wouldn't like to watch again. It was too... I don't know... mushy? I mean, yes, it must have been very unpleasant for both of them, and rather humiliating to Molly, but after all it was just words, just a few words to say, nothing like having to choose between Mycroft or John's death. One thing I'll say for Eurus - when she's having fun, she really goes for it.
Love how incredibly detailed this transcript is. It brings me so much joy to read it - so, for a millionth time - thank you for your fantastic, hard and undoubtedly time consuming work.

"JOHN (softly): A lonely night on Google(!)"
Completely missed that!
And some other bits, too, so an enormous thank you, as always!

It seemed to me - and the subs say so, too, though they are not always accurate - that in the last dialogue Mycroft says: "No flowers... My request."
