Review sherlock final episode4/15/2023 ![]() Oh, and Sherlock doesn't remember her at all: Mycroft has blocked Sherlock's memories of her. She burns the ancestral home down, and that's when she is sent to Sherrinford. She traumatizes her brother Sherlock by making his beloved dog Redbeard disappear and giving Sherlock a song to find Redbeard that he never solves. She cuts herself to see how her muscles work. The lost Holmes sibling has been held for years by Mycroft at Sherrinford, a maximum-security prison that Mycroft memorably describes as the "map reference for hell."Įurus is even more brilliant than the other Holmes siblings, an "era-defining genius." But she seems to lack basic human features. Eurus shot John with a tranquilizer, not a live bullet, at his therapy session. In short order, almost all of the questions brought up by last week's episode are answered. It's Sherlock of course, stoking Mycroft's fear of the newly revealed Holmes sister, Eurus, in order to scare him into admitting that Eurus exists. (Laurence Cendrowicz/Hartswood Films & MASTERPIECE) Mark Gatiss's Mycroft has been telling lots of lies, but the truth really is horrible. Is this his mind palace? What's going on? Haunted young girls, creepy sing-song voices, bleeding portraits, and a grotesque clown all stalk him through a Gothic mansion. After a quick set-up (all the passengers on a plane are sleeping or dead while a lone girl is left to survive, her only lifeline a cell phone with Moriarty's voice on the line), Mycroft is plunked into a horror movie. The episode starts off in a horrible and terrifying manner-cinematically, that is, not morally. If unleavened by any sort of emotion or love, it can cause a horrible and terrifying absence of basic humanity in a person. In what may be the final episode of the show, everything coalesces into an astoundingly extreme parable of the dangers of Sherlock's purported strength: cold-blooded reason. Not only did the plot surprise at every turn even the very style of the show shocked and upended expectations. As far-fetched as fan theories about this season of Sherlock were, I don't think anyone foresaw anything close to this demented carnival of a finale.
