So there was a CLOWN and mycroft was going to duel him with his umbrella because it was actually a sword that was actually a GUN but actually it was sherlock’s plan and he was like HEY BRO! and then john was like oh yeah last ep’s cliffhanger? nah just got shot but it was a tranquilizer anyway let’s go back to baker street OH LOOK A DRONE GRENADE
The fuck when you left the Tarmac after 1080 days but at the same time you actually don’t know if you really left or even where the fuck are you standing now

“You are still on the tarmac. Season 4 gets delayed. There is a christmas special instead. It is supposed to be a light hearted one-off; instead it advances the plot. You are still on the tarmac. Season 4 happens. It is full of sharks. Is it a dream? You can trust nothing. Anything is possible. You are still on the tarmac.
Mary is alive. Mary is also dead. Mary is in the bed. Mary is not in the mirror that reflects the bed. You have been held hostage in an embassy for 3 months. Inexplicably, the terrorists have a tidy little side business making kitschy busts of stern dictators. The kiln roars day and night. Mary rescues you. Mary also ensures your death. You are still on the tarmac.
There is a sister. She killed Redbeard, so Sherlock deleted her. There never was a Redbeard. It was actually a child nobody looked for, in a well that didn’t exist. Sherlock deleted him too. They all deleted them, even Mummy and Daddy. What sister, Sherlock? What friend? The glass disappears. Mycroft throws up. John Watson finds bones; they are small. There never was a plane about to crash. Sherlock and the sister play violin together in a padded cell.
Kid!Sherlock: Daddy, can I please have a dog? Pretty please!
Daddy Holmes: I’m sorry, son, but you know I’m allergic to dog fur. Here, why not take this random orphan kid that your mum and I found wandering on the fields? It’s basically the same thing.
