I don't really get the episode The Final Problem in the Sherlock series. But what I find most amazing is that Sherlock who can basically predict the future 2 weeks in advance can't notice that there was no glass between him and Eurus.

Eurus had a mic to mimic the voice inside glass. But what about the violin she was playing? Couldn't Sherlock notice it? And suppose if the violin also had a mic on it like Eurus then when Sherlock played it, why couldn't he figure out that the violin's sound was not right?

I mean I can't just understand that a person so brilliant like Sherlock couldn't figure out that there was no glass behind him and Eurus?



Best Answer

That was one of the badly portrayed parts in the Sherlock episodes.

If you want to get into like a real reason for why Sherlock might have not seen the glass not being there is because he wouldn't have even expected the glass not being there. Eurus must have caught him off-guard.

If Sherlock had known something was up, he probably would have noticed that there was no light reflecting off the glass, since there was none.

How did Eurus make the glass disappear?

There is no glass wall; just signs that look like they have been etched on a glass. Moreover, Eurus explains that she uses a throat mike that directly connects her to the speakers. When she turns it off, we can hear her talk normally(without the speakers) to Sherlock.

Why did Sherlock not remember his sister?

Years later, she went on to trap John in the same way. To cope with the trauma of losing Victor, Sherlock invented a story about losing a dog named Redbeard to replace the memory. It is heavily hinted that Mycroft reprogrammed Sherlock's mind so that he wouldn't remember Eurus.

Why did culverton give Eurus the note?

Culverton gave me Faith's original note. (She stands up.) A mutual friend put us in touch. There would be no reason for Culverton to give Faith's note to anyone, unless he wanted to play with Sherlock.

What was wrong with Eurus Holmes?

Eurus drowned Sherlock's dog Redbeard; this is the traumatic incident that caused Sherlock to block Eurus out of his memory. Eurus ultimately graduated from animal cruelty to arson, after which Mycroft insists she was institutionalized.
