Sherlock Lives: 10 Theories We Answer After The Empty Hearse

4. The Mycroft/Molly Influence

Sherlock told Molly that he needed her and she'd always counted, so we guessed that she'd have something to do with the Reichenbach fall. I'm surely not the only one left open-mouthed at Sherlock bungeeing through her window and kissing her Bond girl-style before swanning off for two years. Just as well that the bungee was a red herring. I don't think Tumblr could cope otherwise. She did supply the body though. She must've done, unless it's an awful lot more than thumbs that Sherlock keeps in his freezer. And who would've guessed the Mycroft influence? Well, we did. It turns out that both Mycroft helped planned the fall, as well as calling off the snipers, and instigating the plan to catch Moriarty. Why was the plan to ever let Moriarty out of prison though? That's what I want to know.
