In short, Louise Brealey’s character Molly Hooper was forced to admit her love for Sherlock over the phone after being manipulated by the detective’s long lost sister.
For the record, I disagree with Steven about the impact of the scene on Molly and that’s fine.
Many Sherlock fans have been left somewhat disappointed by the latest season, particularly the last episode which drew a record-low number of viewers for the BBC drama.
While all this was going on, Benedict Cumberbatch’s titular character was imploring Molly to confess after believing her London flat to be rigged with explosives.
