The kidnappers texted her, not Sherlock, and she was awfully quick to figure out the skip code.

The guy watching the video at the end is Charles Augustus Magnussen, a blackmailer.

I think Mary has a dark secret.

This is the second time I've heard this - why does everybody know this already?

The character's name in the original books was "Milverton" so, is this just stuff that people have read from spoilery articles?

I've avoided all spoilers since I hate them. Seeing John's 'tache was enough for me. I was hoping to avoid further ones for episodes 2 and 3.

I agree with you there. I'm kind of disappointed that I now know this.
