5. "Mrs. Hudson Has Been Attacked By An American. I Am Restoring Balance To The Universe."
Episode: A Scandal In Belgravia Directed At: America A Scandal In Belgravia is rife with national pride and at times feels like the episodic equivalent of a souvenir shop postcard Sherlock plays God Save The Queen on a violin, has tea at Buckingham Palace, favourably compares his landlady to the ravens at the Tower of London and, of course, belittles our American cousins with a swift line of insulting rhetoric. Laying a finger on Mrs. Hudson is heinous enough, yet Sherlock (and Steven Moffat, by proxy) sees further insult in that such a British institution has been harmed by a lewd American hitman an affront to British pride above and beyond any other. He then ominously informs Lestrade that the offender 'fell out of a window', despite no such thing actually having happened (yet). But make no mistake, it happens. Three times.
