But once we land in the grips of Eurus and her game, things slow right down again. The pacing is fast to begin with, in the first 10 minutes of the episode we leap from Mycroft’s house, to 221B Baker Street to arriving at Sherrinford. Once again the writing and co-creator team of Stephen Moffatt and Mark Gatiss with director Benjamin Caron ( Wallander, The Crown) manage to confound and confuse us with this, ‘The Final Problem’ and what quite possibly could be the last ever episode of the BBC Sherlock series. Only if they manage to succeed in outsmarting Eurus can they hope to win this game, and the solve the final problem. Forced to play an Escape Room like set of tasks, Sherlock, John and Mycroft are put to the ultimate emotional and mental test. However when Sherlock, John and Mycroft go to Sherrinford to visit her to determine how she escaped, the tables are turned when the three of them are trapped by Eurus.

In this week’s episode, those long buried secrets come to the surface, and Sherlock and John have their greatest challenge to date, facing off against the smartest Holmes sibling of all. Mainly because Mycroft had purposefully kept her existence a secret from Sherlock (and us the viewers). In last week’s episode ‘The Lying Detective’ came the revelation that the Holmes boys have a sister, a shocking bombshell that had eluded us all.
