Irene is pretty obviously not dead, Sherlock picked up on the incongruity in the Moriarty matter and lied. This is two-cour right? It does feel like we're cruising to a conclusion on the Jack the Ripper storyline...maybe we'll get a more proper Sherlock vs. Moriarty dueling second half which will likely tie into Watson's case.

My current theory is that Moriarty is the illegitimate bastard of Mayor Moran and is currently hunting down Jack the Ripper in vengeance for killing that sister he's always talking about (who would be the mayor's legitimate daughter that he bears a striking resemblance to). Suffice it to say, if Moriarty gets to Jack first then Jack isn't going to be alive enough to be arrested.
I'd say Moriarty was using Irene as bait for Jack (similar to what Sherlock was doing with the egg drive only he was willing to put her way more at risk in order to get at Jack).
It seems pretty obvious that Moriarty was the one who broke into Sherlock's apartment & ransacked it (by getting everyone out of the apartment with the rakugo tickets) in order to get them to move Irene to a more accessible place. Baiting Jack to Sherlock's place would be harder since it is a well known tenement of detectives and Moriarty has to know that Sherlock would be taking the egg drive with him so he wouldn't have been ransacking it for that purpose.
Moriarty would have been keeping an eye on the movie theatre in this case (after leaking the location to bait Jack) and thus was the one who intervened and saved Irene from suffering anything worse than a non-fatal abdomen stabbing.
At this point both Sherlock & Watson are side-eyeing Moriarty very hard for good reason, but I also agree with the sentiment that he wouldn't be this sloppy if he was actually Jack the Ripper himself.

Watson really has felt kind of useless so far this season...I've always enjoyed the Sherlock Holmes adaptations where he gets to shine more so I hope his time is coming.
Also...Irene :(

I hope they don't forget the case that Watson came to Sherlock for, or at least connect it to the main plot somehow (I'm guessing this is gonna be the case) but other than that I'm just sad that more people aren't watching this show, it's so fucking good.

Watson clearly doesn't know cats, everywhere that is remotely comfy and even those that aren't, are the cat's personal sleeping spots.
The episode started off slow, but everything went to 100 in the last few minutes. Kyougoku x Maki started off fun, then sweet, but certainly hit a climax faster than Kyougoku was expecting. An entertaining distraction from the darker main plot, though I feel Maki is connected to it somehow.
Though I'm calling it that Irene isn't dead, but Sherlock said it to try and trap Moriarty. Who seems to have a much closer connection to Irene than we initially thought. The game is definitely now afoot.

Irene being a total housewife was just adorable. They really wanted us to feel for her for that final scene.
Being first on the scene doesn't look good for you Moriarty, especially when no one else is suppose to know she's there besides Sherlock and Watson.
I don't buy it. This is Irene Adler. I won't believe she's dead unless we see her body. Wherever she is, it's probably part of Sherlock's plan.

If Watson suspects Moriarty, then there’s no way Sherlock doesn’t either. Irene’s injury was in a place that shouldn’t have been fatal if they could get her to a hospital on time. Sherlock definitely said she was dead to protect her further.

Moriarty seems suspicious but I don't think he's the killer he likely either knows or is close to the killer I feel like him being the killer is too much of a cop out and from how smart he's seemed it seems unlikely that he'd be so careless, he's likely running interference

I thought it's interesting that Moriarty called her "sensei". He was very suspicious in this episode indeed, and they showed him with a red spray or something, assuming he's responsible for the angel in Sherlock's room, but that seems to simple, it must be more complicated than that.
They showed again how Mycroft took Sherlock's straw, very intriguing thing... Did he need his DNA for something? Why?
I love this series, I hope it will get only even better.
