| 6 | * Holmes's canonical conversation with Culverton Smith gets a rewrite from Holmes's PointOfView. He's dying with Smith gloating over him - needless to say, it's a pretty intense, heart-in-your-throat scene. Though it ends badly for Smith. |
| 7 | * Some of Holmes's torture scenes are longer and more graphic than others, but none of them are fully played-out. This might be considered a case of NothingIsScarier - especially the poker scene, which is only mentioned afterwards and never described in-detail. All we know is that Sherlock [[SayMyName screamed his brother's name]]. |

| 9 | * Speaking of [[NiceGuy dear, dear]] [[TheHero Watson]]... BewareTheNiceOnes. He feels no compunction in terrifying a criminal into talking and then ''shooting'' him [[BerserkButton when Holmes's life is on the line.]] |
| 10 | * When the narrative looks at Holmes's rescue via Lestrade's [=POV=], Holmes's appearance is described in detail, including this: ''his gaunt face bruised, burnt, and scarred, his half-clothed body far more so'' and this: ''The ragged shirt [...] hanging in tatters on Holmes's truly emaciated frame.''
