I thought it was odd that the implications of P = NP (invalidating modern cryptography) was a big reveal halfway through the episode.

Sherlock should have known that already, and if for some reason he didn’t, it should have come up before the Millennium Prize in any research on the subject. :colbert:

I was surprised that there wasn't a twist and Kleinfelter was actually the murderer.

Me too. Sherlock’s diagnosis of the situation was so quick I assumed he was lying.

That was a sad ending.

I don’t begrudge the kid for killing his father, but pinning the blame on the nanny who didn’t do it makes him a monster. He should be locked up for that.

It would be one thing if they’d colluded beforehand and she’d agreed to take the blame, but they didn’t.

He didn't even have to, loving your stepson is certainly going to violate that morals clause anyway!

I’m not sure that information would be made public.

Sherlock’s new protégé gives off a “mole” vibe to me.

I called the maternity and coded messages plot points. They’re telegraphing them too hard.

C’mon, Sherlock, you should have realised Moriarty was the mother the moment the kidnappers put the girl on the phone. Not when you decoded the classified ad.

I was certain for a few minutes there that the pizza box was going to end up being a bomb or something, I know, I'm weird. I am glad that Bell is back and he and Sherlock got their issues yelled out at each other. I forgot that he didn't know about Sherlock's addict past, so it was nice that Sherlock chose to expose that to him.

I thought they would open the door to someone dangerous rather than the delivery boy. When the pizza showed up, I was sure it would be a bomb, a listening device, or just a warning. In the end, it seems it was either a good opportunity to subvert audience expectations or a clumsy way to give Sherlock and Watson a reason to expect a knock. Sherlock even carried the smoking gun newspaper clipping with him when he went to answer it.

Speaking of paranoia, what happened to Sherlock’s protégé? I thought he was suspicious, but it’s been several episodes now and he hasn’t shown up again.

I thought that the murderer would be C on the basis that she was an interesting character introduced in this episode. She fit the profile.

“Chemical‐laden” cigarettes, Sherlock, really?

He should know better than that.

For a while I suspected the lab mate who clammed up and cited the non‐disclosure agreement.

The “framed self for crime” ploy will never get old.

I thought the guy who filed down his dentures to fit in the keepsake box was guilty. It seemed a little contrived, and unlike the guy with chipped dentures (where coffee stains confirmed the damage was too old), there’s no reason he couldn’t have filed them down after committing the new murders.

I didn’t for a moment think the prison assistant was guilty. I considered his broken wrist a red herring, but it was actually a writer’s shortcut for breaking off the interrogation.
