He pretends to be the waiter at the restaurant where John is waiting for his girlfriend, intending to suddenly reveal himself and surprise John. Unfortunately for Sherlock’s plan, John is so distracted that he pays almost no attention to his “waiter,” going so far as to question Sherlock about wines without actually ever looking at him, and Sherlock’s initial attempts at a sudden reveal fall completely flat.
