* AsideGlance: Sian Brooke gives us one of these, through her disguise glasses upon shifting her accent from German to Yorkshire to deliver the "Faith Smith" line quoted above, and just before revealing her character's real identity.

* AndHereHeComesNow: In the opening scene John talks to his therapist about Sherlock not having contacted him yet. Cue the [[ScreechingStop car screeching sound]] outside. Subverted when it turns out to be Mrs Hudson coming for John. DoubleSubverted when Sherlock is revealed to be [[PunkInTheTrunk stashed in the trunk]] of the Aston Martin.

* HeyCatch: Mrs Hudson pretends to be jittery while making tea and drops her cup [[SlowMotionDrop in slow motion]], so Sherlock would drop down the gun he was holding in order to [[DesperateObjectCatch catch the teacup before it could hit the floor]], at which point Mrs Hudson picks up the gun and points it at Sherlock and forces him into the trunk of her car.

* PunkInTheTrunk: Apparently Mrs Hudson forces Sherlock at gunpoint into the trunk of her Aston Martin.

As Sherlock attempts to comfort John Watson after his wife's death, entrepreneur and apparent philanthropist Culverton Smith (Creator/TobyJones) tests a new drug on daughter Faith and his employees to make them forget his confession that he is planning to commit murder. Faith has a partial memory and approaches Sherlock to identify a likely victim but her disappearance, and his descent into drug-taking, lands him in Smith's hospital and at his mercy. However, Sherlock is not as helpless as he appears and has his own way of trapping Smith, though the final shock is for Watson as his therapist springs a terrible surprise on him.

** There's a rich, blond-ish businessman who isn't conventionally attractive, with a working-class accent. He's a charismatic, bombastic man with fingers in a lot of pies and a successful reality-TV star, in shows about businesses. He's accused of horrible things, and somehow manages to spin the controversy lead into publicity gold, much to the frustration of his detractors. This makes Smith a combination of Savile and ''UsefulNotes/DonaldTrump''. [[Administrivia/RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgment And let's end it there]].
