Where is Rosie in TLD?

Something is up with Rosie in TLD, and her absence from the episode makes no sense at all. When asked about her, John hesitates says that she is ‘’with friends’’. That is a very vague answer, which is odd, as John seems to be pretty open and honest with his therapist. Also, what friends? 

Rosie definitely isn’t with Sherlock, as he is drugged and John haven’t seem him for a long time. 

Rosie definitely isn’t with either Mrs Hudson or Molly, as they both appear shortly after John’s statement on the above screencap. 

What other friends does John have? And where is Rosie really? 

“with friends” was also what was said about mary in the acd canon to keep up appearances, so i’m taking this to mean the baby is fake

Mary and Mrs Norbury

What I find really interesting is the moment when Mrs Norbury asks to be allowed to live a peaceful life, and Mary shouts “After what you’ve done?” 

They are such obvious mirrors for each other, both wanting to have a life after the crimes they have committed. But neither of them escape “Samara”. Mary wants to see Norbury pay for her crimes, which is so painfully ironic.

If Mary had let her go, Mary would still be alive. By condemning her “mirror” she leads to her own death, and its just so well written. 

Just aaaAAAaaAaah I can’t believe this. Plus the TJLC shoutouts???? I’m so pumped for next week!!
