* IdiotPlot: The instigating incident is Mycroft sending Sherlock to apprehend Irene Adler without telling him the CIA are also looking to apprehend Adler because she's working with Moriarty to bring down an anti-terrorism venture that the CIA and [=MI6=] are working together on. To say nothing of the CIA breaking into Sherlock's apartment and brutalizing Mrs. Hudson instead of going through Mycroft. Also, Sherlock has been nosing against the edges of this plot in peripheral cases for months, and Mycroft recognizes this but tells him nothing. The episode can be summarized as "Mycroft and the CIA keep Sherlock out of the loop on their plan while simultaneously putting him in the middle of it, allowing Adler to manipulate Sherlock against them." Sherlock and John even lampshade to Mycroft how foolish it was to send them after Adler without telling them what was going on, and Mycroft has no response.

* ShockingMoments: The ending. Irene's dead. No, she's alive. Irene's escaped. She's in love with Sherlock. She's dead without that information. Mycroft confims she's dead… and Sherlock's saved her. Holy shit indeed.
* TooSexyForThisTimeslot: Creator/TheBBC received one hundred complaints for showing a nude Irene Adler, censored only by the scenery and her own limbs/position. Much of the uproar was because the show was aired before the watershed, but it turned out the nude scenes were in fact shown after nine o'clock. It didn't very much to alleviate the ire of the MoralGuardians
