Emotional Context.
We know that in Sherlock’s mind palace there are always a few important people.
1) Mycroft Holmes and Molly, responsible for logic
2) John Watson - who keeps Sherlock right (Sherlock told us about it in the episode of John’s wedding)
3) RedBeard - who calms Sherlock
4) Who is the fourth?
The fourth is Eurus. East wind. Eurus throughout the episode tells us about the emotional context. What is East Wind? - It’s the emotional context, which pursues Sherlock throughout life.
Do you remember the fairy tale, that Mycroft told Sherlock?
“The East Wind – this terrifying force that lays waste to all in its path. It seeks out the unworthy … and plucks them from the Earth. That was generally me” (Sherlock, tarmac scene)
East wind, Sherlock, it’s coming to get you.
So many emotions in this scene made only by facial expressions
What a brilliant parallel….
“The man you are today is your memory of Eurus”
Has anybody noticed it before?..
I’ve just noticed the look Sherlock adressed to John when he said about Mycroft “What goes around comes around” after Lestrade’s words that Eurus had locked Mycroft in her old cell.
Sherlock’s look is like “Not now, John… He did everything he could”
‘He did his best’.
