Is “Three Garridebs” already foreshadowed in TGG? The Broken Bicycle

(There is a meta that has been bothering me for months because it is complex and layered. I turned it into a meta speculation and please feel free to comment if you see something I haven’t picked up in these scenes.) 

As we know from former metas, many think that the murderer Joe in TGG is a mirror for Mycroft because they were dressed in a similar sports gear. But this scene is extremely complex because the camera transitions and John’s placement in front of the camera walking as the scenes shift tell me there is more to it. As the cherry on the top, at the beginning we see an object that makes a cameo later on in HLV, the broken bicycle.

I already speculated about the broken bike and the state of John’s marriage here. However, the tie to TGG was still immature in my mind. To me Joe the murderer brother might represent a potential conflict in the coming seasons between John and Mycroft, possibly related to something that Mary and Moriarty cause. As we know Joe kills Westie by accident and is letting his sister Lucy (Lucy:light)  down forever. 

The Partington plans was Westie and Joe’s secret that brought Westie’s end. And we also know how they use the USB for A.G.R.A.  That is why I wonder if the confrontation and a potential accident will be the Three Garridebs moment between John and Mycroft, an accidental wounding, while clashing with Mary and/or Moriarty. In Westie’s story, Lucy is completely out of the story so I wonder if Sherlock will find himself in a similar position.

Collateral damage? Broken Bike and broken house in the trash bin? The dialogues from TGG and the house number as 21A alluding to a sadness taking 221B over?

@sherloki1854 who does some fascinating canon deconstructions, wrote a meta on Mary/Mr. John Garrideb today which seems quite legit. I mean at this point I think most of the characters are overlaid with multiple stories so why not? Maybe Moran and Garrideb in Mary.

What it made me think is a meta I wrote a while ago on the possibility of three Garridebs being foreshadowed in TGG. It is above. If Mary is indeed written after John Garrideb like Sherloki1854 argues, then this foreshadowing is even more plausible. I am wondering if John will get hurt in a cross-fire between Mary and Mycroft. I guess, I really don’t want Mycroft to die. @wellthengameover also wrote about the possibility of a conflict between John and Mycroft.
