* AbsenteeActor: To be expected considering it's only an eight-minute minisode. The only main characters who appear are Sherlock, John, and Lestrade (and we only fully see Sherlock in a video recording), as well as recurring character Anderson. Mrs Hudson, Mycroft, and Molly do not show up at all.

This mini-episode shows how the people in the life of Sherlock are two years after his jump in the finale of Season 2. We see Anderson being obsessed with Sherlock, showing inspector Lestrade numerous news articles of mysteriously solved cases, of which he says can only have been solved by Sherlock himself. Lestrade, however, is convinced that Sherlock's dead, and tells Anderson off. After this, Lestrade goes to John Watson, to return to him a few things of Sherlock that were still lying around at the office. One of the items was an unedited video of Sherlock, where he excused himself for not being at John's birthday party, a few years back. At the end of this video, he promises to see him soon.

* HollywoodLaw: A scene takes place in a Hamburg jury room regarding a murder case. However, there is no jury system in Germany (not as it exists in the UK and America); verdicts are decided by professional judges. However, the man at the head of the table does state that "this jury was convened under highly unusual circumstances", which might qualify as HandWave explaining this.

* TheTelevisionTalksBack: Subverted. Sherlock has given John a video message. John states "Stop being dead" to which Sherlock says "Ok". John's reaction seems to invoke this trope, but Sherlock's statement had nothing to do with what John said.

* EpilepticTrees: In-universe. How Anderson's theory sounds to Lestrade: A breakaway sect of Buddhist warrior monks infiltrated by a blonde drug smuggler?!
* TheFaceless: The monk in the opening scene. Apparently it's Sherlock.
* HollywoodLaw: In "Many Happy Returns", a scene takes place in a Hamburg jury room regarding a murder case. However, there is no jury system in Germany (not as it exists in the UK and America); verdicts are decided by professional judges.
* RogueJuror: Sherlock is depicted to be the single non-conforming juror in the Hamburg case.
