And then, even the King began to wonder…
#can i just say the story-telling in this episode was astronomical? #also lestrade #god the poor guy is just trying to solve some goddamn murders before other people get killed #so he saves this brilliant acebric boy from pumping himself full of drugs and hires him on a few cases #and then before he knows it he’s started to rely on him even though he thought it would have been the other way around #but he’d taken it for granted that sherlock would always be there - and why would anyone question him? lestrade’s heart was set #sherlock holmes was a good man and one day he could be a great one #and just when maybe he’s got a foothold on becoming this great man everyone starts to doubt him #and lestrade probably hates himself for it but the doubt gets him too #but now - after the phone call - after hearing the definitive words from molly’s lips and seeing the haunted look of a war lost back on #john’s face it sinks in: this is real and sherlock holmes is dead #and now every time he closes his eyes he sees that boy he helped save who chose to help save others #and all he can think is that the last time they saw each other he was trying to arrest him #and he never got to say goodbye
