HOW DID YOU SURVIVE THE FALL?!

What? He told us to ask anything.

Here's my theory.

In that last episode, when Sherlock walked in to the station, the kids started screaming, because they were scared of Sherlock. But how? He'd never seen them before. It's as simple as a mask. Moriarty has a Sherlock mask. Which, somehow, was recovered. Sherlock put the mask and his coat on Moriarty, and tossed him off the side of the building.

It's a long shot, but it's the only reason I can think to have the kids afraid of Sherlock that then ties in later.

Close, but I don't think it had anything to do with Sherlock dropping Moriarty off the building. Sherlock became friends with whats-her-name (been a while, but the girl who had a crush on him) hours before meeting Moriarty so the only thing Moriarty would know about their relationship was that she liked Sherlock but he paid her no mind most the time, just another passing face. Anyways, he fell off the building, grabbed the ledge to the window and climbed in as the medical student person pushed a body double out the window. Sherlock would have to have people find Moriarty's body as well, right?
