In his terror, Sherlock had changed his memory of Victor into a dog named Redbeard and it is this that’s been haunting his dreams for a long time. As it was, though, it became clear that this - along with a bit of arson - was the reason Eurus was locked away for her safety and others.
Review sherlock final episode full#
It would have been nice to hear mention - even in passing - of Victor’s parent’s reaction, but alas, the episode was too full already. The implications of Eurus’ actions are mind-boggling. In fact, Eurus felt so angered by Victor and Sherlock’s closeness, that she threw Victor down a well, where he drowned, because Sherlock couldn’t solve her rhyme which detailed where he was. The pair would play pirates together for hours on end, while the older Mycroft brooded about, and the younger Eurus would watch with jealousy burning inside of her. Victor, in fact, who was Sherlock’s childhood friend. In addition to playing on Sherlock’s conscience with the fake plane crash scenario, she also had all the guards at Sherrinford under her spell.
Eurus is also very good at using emotion to get others to do her bidding. In fact, Eurus Holmes kills without thought or concern the therapist she impersonated, the three brothers hanging in front of the window (a clever reference to Arthur Conan Doyle’s 'The Three Garridebs'), the prison governor (by default) and his wife, all ran afoul of Eurus’ penchant for ending other people’s lives, and yet she can seemingly integrate into society as needed. It should also be noted, though, that she seemed entirely okay with the potential demise of her eldest brother, Mycroft even asking Sherlock to kill either him or John, the latter of whom she never mentions in regard to their illicit dalliance.
By the end of the episode, though, Eurus refused to speak to anyone, she would play violin duets with her brother, which hints at there being some kind of bond between the pair.
