I've never been able to make my family understand what I do.

Joan Watson x Boa (Megan Thee Stallion)

Probably one of my favourite scenes of the entire show whatsoever. Also probably because it's one of the few instances they talk about what they mean to each other out loud, instead of dancing around it or leaving it unsaid (though it's clear for everyone to see). The other characters constantly refer to their love and partnership, but they rarely talk about it to each other. And it's beautiful when they do. All the more so when it's Sherlock saying it ❤️

Holmes: Watson, I have no inclination to excise Andrew from your life. Why would I? I like the man.

Watson: Oh, you like him?

Holmes: Yeah.

Watson: You never told me that.

Holmes: Well, why would I tell you? To reassure you that you've made a sound choice, as one might reasonably expect a friend to do. Right, right, oh, very well. I like him. He's intelligent. He hasn't just jumped into a new business. He has the patience and self-possession to wait for something worthwhile. And, most importantly, he understands you. He understands you and me.

Watson: What do you mean by that?

Holmes: I mean, Watson, that whether you care to admit it lately or not, I am an important part of your life. And whether I say it out loud or not, you are an important part of mine. My return to New York was driven, in large part, by a desire to repair our relationship. And I think, even though we might draw further or nearer from each other, depending on circumstance, you and I are bound somehow. Andrew accepts that without feeling needlessly threatened. It's a rather enlightened position. And so no, I've got no desire to banish the man to Scandi-bloody-navia.

Watson: Okay, I believe you. Kind of feel like hugging you right now.
