‘A Messy Divorce’ for S4?

So, John tells us that Sabrina Jennings -a queer woman, closeted for fear of her family’s dissaproval- was having a love affair with the woman she loved…

…and “for all the right reasons”, because, according to John, she “clearly wasn’t in a happy marriage”…

…and was desperate to divorce the manipulative man who blackmailed her…

Now, I don’t know if Mofftiss only wanted to make this parallel because that’s their headcanon for what happened in the books… or if this is actual foreshadowing. 

Mark’s so emphatic saying ‘messy, real horrible!’, that I think of crime-scene levels of horrible, murder (attempt? Please don’t let it be Mycroft taking the bullet for John). Which fits with the whole ‘John and Mary’s wedding=death’ theme of TSoT. Like this choice of camera angle to show a cementery (!) in the shot (also because Mary can’t ever have the centered hero-shot only Sherlock has with John, specially in this classic ‘just married’ moment.)

What if John wants to divorce Mary… but she has none of it, and chaos ensues.

After all, she has the chilling profile of a psychopath who will stop at nothing to have what she wants.

Remember how she point-blank threatened Sherlock, “there is nothing in this World I would not do to stop that happening”, ‘that’ being ‘losing John forever’.

Anyway, what we (and Sherlock) know for sure, is that John and Mary’s marriage is coming to end, and Sherlock is going to play an active part on that:

…but how? Could John and Mary’s divorce be in the midst of the ‘tragic’, ‘terminal’ and ‘devastating’ plot of S4? Maybe as a catalyst?

To end on a happier note, the title John chose for that entry is “Happily Ever After”, which is exactly the kind of ending we’re waiting for this show (the LGB research and ‘sick of tragic endings’). Nice.

If Mary was pregnant by another man when marrying John the marriage is defective can be annulled! Just sayin’…
