I'm truly of two minds about this episode (as well as S2 as a whole).
OTOH, I liked that Sherlock actually told Joan how he felt about her moving out and that he did it from a sincere (and not snarky) place. That said, I did like Joan's reply, that she saw the moving out as something she needed to do for herself.
I also liked Mycroft's hugging Sherlock good-bye. Regardless of their years-long animosity, the Holmes brothers do connect on some level.
OTOH, I didn't really care for Mycroft pulling a fast one basically over everyone or that Gregson and Bell were kept somewhat out of the loop.
It wasn't the best season finale episode. I think that TPTB shoehorned Mycroft so much into the latter part of the season that, at least for me, it was kinda hard to feel for him. Mind you, I like the character but I didn't really see much chemistry between Mycroft and Joan.
At this point, I'm curious about what's going to happen in S3 yet, at the same time, I feel like S2 could've been so much more engaging. YMMV.
