A lot can be traced back to Redbeard, who was, we're led to believe, Sherlock's dog. In this episode, it's presented as the beginning of him wiping Eurus from his mind, since she was the one to kill the poor doggo.

Fear not, though, for Eurus - as villainous as she may seem - did not actually kill the unfortunate canine. Phew!

Oh, what's that? Redbeard wasn't actually a dog. He was a child. And, yep, she did kill him. Those were his bones in the well.

Oh well, that's fine, as long as she didn't actually kill the dog.
