I strongly believe that Nurse Cornish here represents the casuals who don’t understand the show. They think it’s gone downhill, makes no sense, but that’s only because they don’t understand it or its creators.

that scene where they TALK AND I THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN

@ormondsacker I hope you don’t mind me tagging you, but I thought of your comfort post. John’s pain (like “Faith”’s) is what stopped him from making tea at that exact moment, but there will be tea.

“Why not? Why shouldn’t [John] be [in love with me]?”

The “miss me” is obviously a reference to Moriarty and I think a further linking of him to Mary. However, I also think this is an expression of John’s guilt. The game is on and he’s back with Sherlock. He knows he loves him more than he ever loved Mary and they’re back together doing what they love (having adventures), so he doesn’t miss her and he feels incredibly guilty. This is his subconscious guilt-tripping him and it’s why he’s still clinging on to her throughout the episode, why he breaks down at the end. If Mary is indeed revealed to have been working with Moriarty all along, he will be free of his guilt and able to happily be with Sherlock.
