Sherlock: 20 Easter Eggs, In-Jokes And References
4. Mrs Hudson's Weakness For Marijuana
Much like Sherlocks deductions, evil media magnate Charles Augustus Magnussen reads peoples weaknesses when he first meets them. When he arrives at Baker Street and scans Mrs Hudson, you might have missed a surprising revelation about the landlady.
Look at the image above and you'll see that Magnussen has listed her pressure point as Marijuana? Yep, you read that right. Well, I guess we shouldnt be so shocked that Mrs Hudson is not the simple mumsy character she looks. Other parts of the series tell us how she was once an exotic dancer who ran a drug cartel with her murdering husband!
Something that is less eyebrow-raising but still interesting is that this scene also gives us the first conformation of Mrs Hudsons first name. Apparently, its Martha.
