Jo and Sherlock are at St. Bart's in the lab, looking at an X-ray on a computer screen that was showing the interior parts of Irene's phone, while Molly stood nearby them. Jo and Sherlock lean closer to the screen and then have looks of exasperation on their faces. Molly looks over, asking,
"Is that a phone?" Jo bit back a sarcastic comment and Sherlock responded,
"It's a camera phone."
"And you're X-raying it?"
"We are."
"Whose phone is it?"
"A woman's"
"Is it..um...someone's girlfriend's phone?"
"You think she's my girlfriend because I'm X-raying her possessions?"
"You think I'm lesbian?" Molly laughs nervously.
"Well, we all do silly things and I don't know. Maybe." Jo shrugged.
"I guess I'd identify as a biromantic demisexual." Molly looked at her confused and Sherlock was slightly surprised, but didn't have a problem with it. He lifts his head, remembering what Molly said and he looks round to her.
"Yes. They do, don't they? Very silly." Jo and Molly look at him slightly confused as he gets up to his feet and takes the phone out of the X-ray machine, holding it up
"She sent this to my address, and she loves to play games." Jo realizes what he's getting at but Molly still looks at him confused.
"She does?" Sherlock pulls up the "I AM ---- LOCKED screen and types '221B' into the phone. The phone beeps and a message comes up reading:
WRONG PASSCODE. 2 ATTEMPTS REMAINING
He looks exasperated and sits down again and Jo sighs.

Months later at the flat Sherlock and Jo reach the top but Jo stops abruptly and Sherlock bumps into her back. She sniffs deeply.
"Smell that." He does the same and then he looks into the kitchen and Jo walks to the window, noticing that it had been opened. They both look at each other and then start walking slowly toward his bedroom and they hear the front door closing and John coming up the stairs. Sherlock gently pushes Jo behind him and pushes the door open. He walks into the bedroom and Jo follows him in and they stand there, looking down at Irene who is on the bed. John was in the kitchen and noticed them standing there.
"What's wrong?" Sherlock looked down at Jo but she just looked over Irene, checking if she might be hurt and he looked at her as he told John,
"We have a client."
"What, in your bedroom." John walks over to them and his jaw drops when he sees the bed.
"Ohhh."

Irene had taken a shower, her hair loose and damp and she's is wearing one of Sherlock's dressing gowns while sitting in his chair in the living room. Jo and the boys are sitting at the dining table looking at her. Sherlock speaks first,
"So who's after you?"
"People who want to kill me."
"Who's that?"
"Killers." Jo rolled her eyes.
"Ya don't say, I thought it might be leprechauns." John and Irene gave her a curious glance and Sherlock just kept looking at Irene. John tried to make eye contact with Jo but she was doing the same a Sherlock so John turned back to Irene saying,
