[Sherlock] Season 2 Episode 1 A Scandal in Belgravia (Part Two)-- "Goodbye, Mr. Holmes."

"This is how I want you to remember me...the woman who beat you."
She just said this to Sherlock, and now she's dead?!!!

Sherlock, Mycroft and Molly went to the mortuary to check the corpse, confirming Irene Adler was dead as dust.

After coming back from the hospital, Sherlock seemed to be in a trance, he replied nothing to John's comforts and kept playing sad music. Once again, John couldn't bear the incomprehensible Sherlock, so he left the flat to get some fresh air. However, once he stepped down the staircase, a mysterious woman called him and asked him to have a ride.

Okay, so she wasn't dead after all...
(One rule of this show, do not believe in anyone's death, cauz it's probably 99.99999%... a fake.) 

Well, John was really angry!!! He lost his temper almost because of Sherlock every time! XDD

Actually I can't get it why she was so determined to ask Sherlock for dinner... The sentence "let's have dinner." appeared about a hundred times in this episode...

For some reason, Sherlock was in a haze after knowing that Irene was alive.

Sherlock found some unusual signs when he got home, true, 221B was intruded by the bloody FBI guy who was after Ms. Adler. He had kept Mrs. Hudson as hostage to force Sherlock to give out the camera phone.  I have to say that this guy was a bit too persevering... Fortunately, that dude was a moron who was extremely easy for Sherlock to defeat.

The hilarious note Sherlock left on the door:
"Crime in progress, please disturb."

John went home and instantly shocked to see the intruder tied on the chair. From the following conversation between Sherlock and Lestrade, it seemed Sherlock just PUSHED the FBI guy out of the window?!!! OAO

Sherlock tried every method to break the code of the phone, including X-ray scanning or considering it as a riddle, but failed every time. It showed that Irene indeed had enough intelligence to compete against Sherlock.

 Next, the second "battle" between Sherlock and Irene!!!

Hahahaha John was definitely JEALOUS (and outrageous)!!! XDDD

Wow, Jim looked hot with that sunglasses! XP

UH!!! Enough of dinners!!!! That's very disturbing!!!!
On the other hand, was Sherlock out of his mind, or...?

The grand final-- in the end, who was the one being deceived???

The flight of the dead, that's what those three cases I mentioned before indicated. Though, this was smart but extremely GROSS!!! (Arghhhh I'm gonna puke!!!!)

Though she denied it 'til the end, I can say that she must have paid lots of sentiment...that code!!! "I am SHERLOCKED", both clever and foolish at the same time. 

That tear...QAQ

This part was so intensive and emotional, I felt thrilled from my head to toe every time I watch it. Despite that I didn't like Irene at first, I felt so sorry for her. She was a dominatrix, she was strong, clever and even treacherous, still, she gave her mind to a man who seemed to have no feelings and became so desperate... I think why Sherlock "won" wasn't because that he was smarter, but it was love that fooled Irene's eyes, making her believe that Sherlock wouldn't really break her secret (which also symbolized her heart).

The ending was out of my expectation, how did Irene Adler end up...?

Sherlock asked for Irene's phone as sort of a keepsake. (In the original story, Holmes had her photographs.) It seemed, though we're not certain about whether Sherlock liked her or not, he obviously respected this woman a lot.

XDD It was funny to see Sherlock wearing that head cloth LOL.
When she sent that "Goodbye, Mr. Holmes.", my heart almost broke and I thought she was gonna die!!! Thank God that Sherlock save her life, it was such a comfort to see Irene alive and Sherlock doing good deed. That was a little sad but beautiful ending!!!!!

In the original story, "the woman" Irene Adler was the only female who Holmes truly admired, which would make her be remembered forever, I think.
See you next time~~~
