in "the sign of three," it is revealed that mary is an orphan. she had another boyfriend prior to john, but is now good friends with him (from her perspective); unknown to mary, her ex retained an unhealthy attraction to her, forcing sherlock to intimidate him before the wedding by describing himself as "a high-functioning sociopath... with your number." she seems to know how to get what she wants from both john and sherlock. she understands both of them very well and respects their close, brotherly friendship; during "the sign of three" as the three of them sit in the flat at baker street planning the wedding, she realizes how much sherlock, who is averse to change, needs to know that john still cares deeply about him and will always be his friend, and how much john also needs to connect with him, and insists that the two of them go out on a case. during this scene, mary sees that sherlock is afraid, as evidenced by the large number of sydney opera house-shaped origami serviettes he is seen to have created out of nervous energy while john and mary had had their private conversation. she is also very patient during sherlock's long-winded and embarrassing best man speech at the reception of her and john's wedding, appearing to be quite amused by sherlock's rambling, awkward, but ultimately very touching soliloquy. during the show, mary is shown to have an unusually excellent memory and the ability to understand a skip code; clues which help sherlock realize that all is not as it seems with mrs. watson. it is later revealed in "his last vow" that mary is in fact a former intelligence agent, who went freelance and eventually on the run, and might not be english. an upset john even commented she should have married sherlock since they're so alike. she stole her identity from a dead child five years before marrying john, seemingly deliberately choosing one named mary as she "always liked" her middle name. despite all the lies she told him, she genuinely loves john and says she only sought to escape her previous life; she was prepared to shoot both sherlock and charles magnussen to ensure john never learnt the truth; though, as a world-class sharpshooter, she was able to shoot sherlock in such a way that he would be hospitalized but would not die. at the end of the third series, mary is pregnant with a daughter.

in "the final problem", mycroft explains that eurus was the youngest child, possessing a transcendent intellect greater than that of isaac newton. however, she was twisted by her inability to comprehend human feeling, once slicing at her arm to see the function of her own muscles and having to ask the meaning of pain. after a traumatic experience where she was involved in the death of sherlock's childhood best friend (with sherlock reinventing his friend as the dog "redbeard" to lessen the emotional pain) and later burning down the holmes family estate, she was taken away, with sherlock then repressing any memory of her well into adulthood. later in life, on mycroft's recommendation, she was transferred to sherrinford, a maximum security psychiatric facility located on an island. her death was also faked, with her parents being informed she had perished after starting another fire whilst incarcerated. despite her incarceration, eurus was occasionally consulted for her insight into potential threats, deducing the last three major attempted terrorist attacks on britain after an hour on twitter, in exchange for 'favours', which included five minutes of unsupervised conversation with jim moriarty. having taken subtle control of the sherrinford staff through her skills in manipulation, eurus traps sherlock, john, and mycroft in a game which culminates in her ordering sherlock to shoot either john or mycroft, only to tranquilise the three of them when sherlock threatens to shoot himself instead.
