Greatcoat flapping in the breeze, feet placed squarely on the very edge of the rooftop, it certainly looked as though Sherlock had been outsmarted by Moriarty as last night's final Sherlock instalment came to a close. Phone discarded, the consulting detective stepped off the building and began his plummet to earth - arms outstretched, legs cycling furiously as the pavement came up to meet him. Moments later, we saw him lying in a pretty terminal-looking pool of blood.
So the only place you'd have expected to see Sherlock again, was in a graveyard. That is unmoving, below the earth - rather than watching mourners pay their respect from behind a tree. He even had John and Mrs Hudson fooled.
Question is: how? I'm pretty sure the cyclist knocking John over played a crucial part in proceedings – allowing enough of a delay for something to happen that John would otherwise have spotted. And then there's Molly of course. Sherlock needed her help. But for what?
Your theories please. Let us know how you think Sherlock managed to fool Moriarty's assassins and – more tricky – John, Mrs Hudson and even (perhaps?) Mycroft.
