So Sherlock deduced that Faith is suicidal because she’s walking around with a cane, no coat on, a gun, and no plan to get home. Which we are then, on camera, explicitly told parallels ASIP John Watson.

So he comes up with a reason to have Faith by his side so he can help her through her danger night.

Which is not at all dissimilar to having John tag along to angelo’s, go on a chase, and spark a joy for life again.

Sherlock knew. When he summoned John across London on that fateful first night “just to send a text”, it wasn’t because he was being a prat, he was trying to save John’s life.

For the love of god, please stop retroactively making already-sad things infinitely sadder.

AHHH ALSO I hated when they copied the aesthetics of john and sherlock’s first chase together (the city as a map) and Sherlock said “we hung out all night I think she liked me and she has a cane and is suicidal but I’m gonna save her…that was a good night…” like okay how many ways are you gonna make everything about john

oh wow. she knew exactly what would appeal to Sherlock, how to intrigue him and make him want to help her. She tailor-made personalities to entrance John and Sherlock.

And of course Sherlock’s is just like John.
