* Sherlock finds Mycroft's "[[{{Foreshadowing}} private and personal supply of oxygen]]", and only asks what it is because the effect is invigorating. From a Doylist perspective, this sets up [[spoiler:his survival after the trip down the falls]]. From a Watsonian perspective, on the other hand, this means that Sherlock Holmes found a strange device he did not recognize and ''inhaled from it'' before asking what it was.
