I’m sure somebody did this like a month ago when #SherlockLive actually happened, but I never actually paid any attention to it until today, so here I am.
My summary:
Daniel Collard kills himself to frame his wife Sophie and her lover/his brother Joey Collard. According to the Gone Girl variant of Alibi Theory, this is clearly Mary, John, and Sherlock, respectively.
Daniel kills himself with sleeping pills, which he also uses to drug his wife Sophie into a coma. John mentions in T6T and TLD how he isn’t sleeping (giving first baby and then grief as explanations), followed by a “driver” of a plane in TFP who can’t be woken up (that’s John too).
Six months prior to Gone Girl Day,
Sophie starts drinking a lot
Sophie stops wearing her wedding ring
Their kid goes to “live with friends” (kid’s gf’s fam, specifically)
Points 1 and 3 are definitely John. Apparently John’s mental state goes south well ahead of Gone Girl Day. From Point 2, it appears that the relationship also ends well ahead of Gone Girl Day. (John joking about a divorce, Sherlock deducing whether Vivian is widowed or divorced, among other things,
etc.
I suspect this is what’s up with John and Mary too.)
Sophie is in a coma throughout. According to her kid: “The
doctors aren’t sure if she’ll make it.“ After the TFP explosion, very similar concern is stated for Mycroft:
“He’s not conscious. He’s severely injured. No-one is even confident he’s going to pull through.” Since Mycroft is never in the hospital, this line gets assigned right back to: John.
(Incidentally, both Daniel being dead and Sophie being in a coma also means we never hear firsthand what was going on with their relationship for those six months…)
Despite the kid saying things like, “Daniel
was a monster, treated me and mum like dirt,”
Joey apparently thinks girlfriend’s husband, his own brother is awesome. Even though Daniel was treating his girlfriend “like dirt”. And also tried to frame him for murder. Fits with Sherlock being completely blind to Mary’s super-villainy.
And I guess Sophie and Joey went to Angelo’s and got blasted drunk while Daniel stayed home drinking orange juice. Cute.
OH AND. Jeez, I nearly forgot to add: Daniel’s “prior conviction fo— […] injuring his wife in a drink-driving incident.”

I really think they just like to goof around, I mean they are human too as we all are and actors, and badically big kidd who very much like to play around with their props and costumes. (eg. Ben loves to twiddle his props…) Who wouldn’t, if they got the opportunity? If you could have all those awesome props and costumes and wigs etc. at hand, wouldn’t you also love to try them all out and just play with them and maybe to take some silly, or not so much silly but still, fun pictures with all of them and maybe share them with your friends or on social media? This messes up of course with us as an audience, becuse we start to assume what it could mean for the actual filmed episode… So yeah, I think it does not necessarily have to mean that they actually did all that FOR the actual episode.
I have to start by saying I don’t consider myself a tinhatter and I don’t know how it works in the UK but in the U.S. if you’re working on a union production (which a show as big as Sherlock certainly would be) it would actually be really unprofessional and against union rules to “mess around with props and costumes” if they weren’t going to be used for some part of the show. Serious enough that you could be fired for doing things like this. IDK if any UK film people can comment on whether it wouldn’t be as big of a deal over there? The other option is that they were hanging out in Claire’s personal workshop and messing around?
I’m not sure about Louise, but I’m 99% certain that Amanda’s pic came from a cut scene in T6T. She posted that pic after the episode aired (like 2 days after if I remember correctly) so it probably was a “spoiler” for that episode. whatever scene it was from was probably cut.
ok assistant location manager on sherlock, i did not even talk about sherlock
WHO KNOWS WHAT HE MEANT BY THAT
so this guy who’s worked on sherlock, however small or big role he had, looks at my twitter before replying to a tweet that had nothing to do with sherlock and tells me to read this book especially if i was disappointed after s4. he told me to trust him. so i did.
this is a book about two boys who had no one, who found each other and literally saved each others lives. it’s a book about two boys falling in love, talking about it, doing something about it. it’s the story we deserved.
