As this scenario plays out it appears that the suicide was nothing more than a trick on John played by Sherlock and Moriarty who drop a dummy off the roof so they can apparently … romantically run away together? WHAT?!?! – Theory #2: The Team Up – This theory certainly is the most outlandish and implausible of them all – considering we saw Moriarty put a gun in his mouth and fire – but it was great to see Andrew Scott back again as Moriarty. By time he got to the scene there would already be paramedics and spectators – also all Mycroft hires. Since they couldn’t risk John getting up before the scene was set, hypnotist Derren Brown was sent in to make him forget those several minutes while they pushed his watched back so that he wouldn’t realize how much time had elapse. All of this would be blocked from John’s view by the bicyclist hired by Mycroft to knock him over. Meanwhile Mycroft’s men would take Moriarty’s body and put the Sherlock mask on it while they dragged him outside and planted him on the ground with fake blood. The theory went that as Sherlock jumped, he was actually attached to a bungee chord, which allowed him to bounce back up and crash through a window where he passionately kissed Molly. – Theory #1: The Bungee Mask – This first scenario given in the opening moments of the episode by Anderson revolves around the idea of Moriarty having had a Sherlock Holmes mask (which explains why the little girl would scream whenever Sherlock entered the room) and Mycroft’s men being super involved in a classic government conspiracy-style cover up.

Sherlock and Molly share a passionate kiss after he bursts through the window.
