*blows a kiss to space* For Lars

Guys, I found the real scene of The Final Problem!

So I cut the scenes of John and his new therapist together. It doesn’t include the scenes with Sherlock and Mrs Hudson. 

Is Eurus really the third Holmes sibling? Did she ever disguised herself as someone else? Does she actually exist?

Or could she be nothing more than an imagination of John, if we believe that the last episode was his TAB, or perhaps Sherlock’s, if you believe otherwise. I think it is quite possible that after being shot, John “lived” through the events which actually happened in The Lying Detective again, adding his thoughts or feelings, of which Eurus, or the concept of her, is one of them.

The woman on the bus could’ve been real, but it didn’t have to be Eurus. The scene in which “Eurus” reveals she was John’s affair the whole time, she suddenly has the flower in her hair. Weird, was it really planned by this “evil genius” or just a construct of John’s imagination. Maybe his guilt trying to find an explaination as to why he felt the way he did towards the woman, because of course would he fall for her if an evil holmes genius manipulated him into it, or something of sorts. 

I do think John went to a therapist, but she wouldn’t have been Eurus. Eurus in this case could be John’s repressed side, including rage and anger, thoughts he deems as “dangerous”, “unhuman” and “cold” (going back to war times”I had bad days” and he did shot a stranger in the first episode for sherlock) , but also clever, brilliant and observing (we have seen he is capable of them in form of mary). He admires the positive sides in Sherlock and tries to regulate the negative one, but he can’t do that for himself. He sets high standards under which he suffers. Sherlock does seem to notice that in some extent, but who knows if that even happened. 

Faith could be how Sherlock sees John or how John thinks/ wishes(?) Sherlock sees him. It made quite clear that she is similar to John, the series even shows Sherlock being reminded of John.

Eurus as a kid on the plane is probably how John sees his relationship with Sherlock. He is helpless and lost without him and even when people are around him, they can’t do anything against that feeling of loneliness, only Sherlock can help him and it’s always about Sherlock atleast in John’s mind).

But that’s just a theory, a conspiracy theory! 

So, John gets shot at the end of The Lying Detective, but it’s the same gunshot from the beginning of the episode. The exact same! 

It’s as if the ending is actually the beginning of the episode. 

How real is the lying detective?
