Irene Adler: I am very smart. Smart woman. Smart smart woman. Sherlock: Your phone password is literally a pun on my name.

Which is why the original story is better. She was smart, genuinely so, but even more than that she didn't have to put the effort into BEING smart - the men all assumed they knew more than she did, and she got away with it in the end simply because their egos were too big. Which is a bit of schooling that any iteration of Sherlock could stand to have, really. The only person to ever outsmart Sherlock, and that was the whole reason he liked her. The original Adler would have laughed at this one. And this one is a bit of an insult, to be honest.

@@RenaissanceM I don't think it's hidden. Sherlock was guarding himself a while ago when they were having a heartfelt moment and he was checking her pulse. He had basically already betrayed her confidence right there. I think more than anything he's just annoyed the relationship can't continue and he has to teach her a lesson. I think the "you hurt me now I hurt you" is just how it looks for viewers who want to feel that way. When really the forced coldness is more about competitive insult. This woman tried to screw him over and then loses by loving him too much and being kinda arrogant. I think he already treats his competition this way and the extra coldness is just all of his closed-off distrust of others being confirmed. Not a revelation, but a reiteration.

[@skyedavies1042]

I love Irene's voice shake when she says "Look at the poor man". She's trying to be mocking and aloof but you can hear the break in her cold exterior because she knows that he now knows. And her breath catches slightly after she says "the clever detective in the funny hat." She's playing Irene trying to hide her nervousness. It's amazing.

The real realization is when she says "that's my kind of man". When you've known a woman and heard all the usual complaints from her, it becomes easy AF to know when she's lying about liking someone. Like, really? You like to be on top and hate that I don't recycle, but you like hooking up with domineering maniacal evil genius? ok sure honey.

You fools! Sherlock was never angry in this scene. When Irene said "Moriarty sends his love", the revelation was brought by the word "love". He didn't decide to break the password because he got angry at the mention of Moriarty, he just cracked the case at the last moment. Afterwards he baited Mycroft to let her go - "If you are feeling kind, lock her up." He knew Mycroft was not feeling kind. Sherlock was expecting Irene to beg, but hearing her do so didn't change his course of action. He was already helping her, playing the game against Mycroft, pretending not to care.

[@ahlambtz]

@Moxley You're spot on, when she says 'Now that's my kind of man' she says it with the sass of a rejected woman. Sherlock was probably the only person she'd never been able to seduce, and so she became obsessed with him. He turned the tables on her beautifully. They're both pretending they don't care for each other but she cracks and he doesn't.

@Emma Madison You're welcome. Even in fiction, not all attractions have to be physical. Some can even be mental and emotional. I prefer thinking/feeling characters far more than action heroes. But maybe that's a result of not being in elementary school anymore, back when I loved reading comic books (I'm 53 now). I also prefer female characters who actually use their brains (unlike the ones in Bram Stoker's "Dracula" -- which I've never finished -- the female characters drive me straight up a wall). They're alot more interesting.

Sherlock Holmes who isn't seriously interested in women and she is a proclaimed lesbian dominatrix, that's fits, really. And why was he so cold at the end? Because she was only playing a game with him and getting her orders how to do it from Moriarty, Sherlocks arch enemy.

You'll notice that as soon as he picks up her phone and walks away that she instinctively follows him with her eyes locked on him like she's in a trance. She goes from being the confident Dom to the weak and insecure Sub in a matter of seconds going so far as to trying to dissuade him from revealing all of her secrets by apologising to him and telling him that she was just playing a game. After he hands over the phone to Mycroft and apologises he walks away and doesn't look at her until she says "Please." only to then coldly apologise about dinner and leave.

I just realised, at the beginning of this clip, Sherlock hears that Jim Moriarty is behind this, as well, and he realised for the first time that if he loses this, he loses to him, so his brain tries to solve the password for the last time, and at this dramatic moment, he is able to do it in a span of 30 seconds. =D

[@Blasted2Oblivion]

That is an interesting idea. I had a slightly different one. She said "Jim Moriarty sends his love." I interpreted it as him picking up on the word love. The "one perfect word cracks the case" cliche, I know but if you consider that it was the fact that she actually loves Sherlock that allowed him to figure it out then it makes sense. Your idea is equally intriguing and just shows how such a small moment can be easily interpreted in several ways.

"You're not a puzzle solver, you never have been. You're a drama queen" -John Watson to Sherlock Holmes

[@rjcatastrophe]

I don't think you're entirely wrong, however this is where she lost it. She had played her cards right till the point she says "now that's my kind of man", where she over compensates. She at that moment once more wanted to establish she did in fact not love Sherlock. If she didn't, she wouldn't have had to prove it multiple times. But right there, at that instance, she wants to make Sherlock know this one thing, which is where he catches her. This is because he already knew she loved him (when he took her pulse) so why would she have to establish otherwise Right when she says this is when he knows she loved him, and hence it's obvious in a second, it has to be "sherlocked" I hope I'm able to get my point across, it's a very slight observation of human psychology :)
