Summary
Many circumstances of the events at the Reichenbach Falls could not be mentioned in Dr. Watson's published stories. Moriarty made attempts on Watson's life, and the main reason Holmes disappeared was to keep his life partner safe. Believing Holmes to be dead, Watson could not cope. His behaviour became downright self-destructive. A month later Holmes learned about that and found a way to let Watson know. From that point on, John was waiting for Sherlock for three long years.

Summary
Old wounds are reopened in the aftermath of Holmes' nearly disastrous experiment with the devil's foot root.
“Thank you for your concern, Doctor, it is most admirable—but unnecessary, I assure you.” I thought of my little vials, which now lay shattered in the sand of the tempestuous Cornish coast and met his gaze defiantly, if a bit unsteadily. Watson let out a bitter, humorless laugh and threw his book down with a thump.

Summary
Desperate to free her husband from prison, Anna Smith Bates tracks down Holmes in the country retreat he shares with Dr. Watson and persuades him to come out of retirement and investigate the death of Vera Bates. Holmes visits Downton Abbey under an assumed identity, with Watson in disguise as his valet. Working together again helps them cope with a recent trauma that severely tested their longstanding relationship--and also allows them to uncover a solution consistent with and yet so much more satifying than the one used on the actual show.
