When Sherlock said Molly mattered the most
bassfanimation: I always thought when Sherlock said Molly mattered the most, he was talking about the plan (Moriarty's failing/Sherlock's succeeding). This is with shipper goggles off, though. I'd love to read it as something more, but I didn't want to read as much into it for fear of my tiny heart crackling to bits. Was it clarified at all in any interviews?
strawberrypatty: A lot of people take that meaning. But I don’t see it making sense. Molly’s part in the plan was actually very minimal. With everything Mycroft and Sherlock did— closing off an entire, busy street in London, bribing assassins— they could have easily found the body and faked the lab results without Molly’s help. But Sherlock got Molly’s help because he wanted her help. He needed to have Molly believe in him.
justanotherfangirls: When he told Molly that she’s the one he needed, I didn’t take it to mean anything else other than he had needed all of Molly, what she had offered earlier, “you can have me”. I don’t think it was ever about the body or the faked documents. He needed her to be on his side when everyone else had lost faith in him, including himself. And maybe he couldn’t believe someone would love him that much without demanding for anything in return, and that is why he was so very grateful he decided to give her her very own special date crime solving day with him, something sweet and thoughtful and sentimental, something he never did to anyone else without any ulterior motives.
