Addicted to Sherlock

wizardwarrior:

my friend was just not getting it, so I did all this to visually explain. figured I’d share for anyone else confused. 

he deliberately made jawn stand behind that building, told him several times to stay where he was and keep his eyes on him. The sniper would have been trained on john not sherlock so it wouldve made it easy to fall into the truck, toss a body out and then wrap up and have the truck drive off while whoever the people were (even if they werent the homeless network, they would’ve taken the body into the hospital where molly could do her thang) scraped him off the sidewalk.

I still don’t know how the other snipers knew not to shoot, but whatever. 

Yeah, the snipers bit also bothers me but this theory is sound. Guess who is driving the truck by the way? My theory is that it’s Mycroft behind the wheel himself because it would make so much sense and also would be a beautiful nod to canon.

Faking death in such a believable way Sherlock needed not just Molly’s help. He needed Mycroft too. This is why Mycroft reacts the way he reacts in Diogenes. I of course need to watch again to make more sound analysis.
