* Drawing the two main points above together, in "The Blind Baker," it's not explicitly stated, but I'm of the understanding that Sherlock paid for John and Sarah's tickets to the Chinese circus (they were in Sherlock's name, John was pretty much broke and living off Sherlock's card already, etc). If so, then that just might be the sweetest thing ever.

** Regarding the scene in Baker Street, it's heartwearming in it's own weird way. Sherlock is wildly, viciously jealous of Sarah, which is certainly clear to Sarah. Sherlock, being unacquainted with a lot of human emotions and conventions, probably has no idea why he's feeling this way, but we (and Sarah) do: he's jealous of Sarah because she's nicked his best (only!) friend. Remembering that previously, John himself seems to have few friends, and apparently had all the time in the world to do whatever Sherlock wanted him to do now. The conversation Sarah has with Sherlock as he's going over cyphers is a delight. She makes an effort to act interested in what "he and John" do; it's carefully crafted to convey "don't worry, I won't crash your bro thing you have going over here at Baker Street." Sherlock, however, is so annoyed by her he clearly wishes she'd go away, ''but'' he ''also'' appears to be ''trying'' to tolerate her in his own impatient, terse, interrupted-genius way. We've seen how rude he can be when he's really ''trying to be.'' It's a genuine moment of character development where Sherlock, who is asexual, is trying to comprehend why on earth John is bothering with this woman and perhaps starting to understand that hey, not everyone feels the same way he does.

The line "the leg must be hurting you, do sit down" could be taken as passive-aggressive bullying, or you could also read it as a much more heartwarming straight line- Mycroft might be OK with kidnapping and bribing John, but while he's a smug InsufferableGenius and a bit of a ManipulativeBastard, he's not mean-spirited and wants to accommodate John's physical limitations.]]

[[spoiler: At one point, Watson is approached by a sinister gentleman in a suit who offers him money to keep an eye on his new friend Sherlock and inform the man in the suit of Sherlock's activities, discretely of course, because he 'worries about him. Constantly.' The moment seems sinister when we, like John, think that the man is some sort of 'criminal mastermind' but becomes a bit more touching when we learn that he is in fact Sherlock's older brother Mycroft; despite their clearly fracticious relationship, Mycroft obviously really does care about his brother and worries about him running around the city solving murders.]]]]

Sherlock deduces John's life from his phone, and we learn that the usual response from people when he does this is "Piss off." John? John tells him it's amazing. It can't be something Sherlock's heard very often.
