This is one of the funniest, if not one of the most bizarre moments of the movie. After a bizarre exchange with the butler there (some sort of sign language was spoken, but I am not sure) they are sent in to see… Mycroft. Later, Sherlock & John visit someone who he clearly loathes at a Gentleman’s club. Earlier, Lestrade tells Sherlock that the “Bride” has killed five separate men. This was a message the Bride had shouted before killing herself. She shows Holmes the woman’s finger that is covered in blood with the words “You” written on the wall. Hooper is clearly hostile towards Sherlock and begrudgingly shows the brides body to the group. Holmes then greets the mortician, “Hooper” who is clearly Molly Hooper in disguise as a man, a fact realized by Watson, but not Holmes (I will get into my feelings on this story line later).

It contains lots of spoilers, so if you haven’t seen it… **This review of STAB is my opinion and mine alone.
