Bea thought of everything that had happened to her, and decided to go visit Watson and finally get the answers she wanted. The city was in chaos, she knocked on 221B and Watson opened the door letting her in. They walked into the living room, "Why are you here, I, I... I told you the truth, didn't I, suffered the indignation of having to bare my soul to a psychopath and a bunch of adolescents" Watson said as he sat down on a chair "You didn't tell me the whole truth, I need you to tell me why you did it" Bea said "Does it matter why" Watson yelled "It matters because the Rip that you opened took my mum from me" Bea yelled. Watson stood up, "You know, when I first met Sherlock, he was unknown, I was the one who saw greatness in him" Watson said as he walked over to a table and poured two cups of wine and gave one to Bea. "We moved in together, began working cases for the police, his flaws and foibles were many, but they were my domain, I understood how to keep him focused, so, as his reputation grew... I took pride in that, Sherlock Holmes is not the work of one man, but of two... his success were my own, but as his star rose... he began to... to drift away from me, I needed to find a way to show him that I, too was a man capable of... greatness" Watson said "You opened the Rip to impress him" Bea asked "I wasn't trying to open a Rip, I only intended to make contact with the spirt world, I thought if I was the first one to do it, he would see that" Watson was cut off by Bea. "Why did you save him and not my mum at the Rip" Bea asked "Your mother didn't just manage his flaws and foibles, she soothed something deep within him, a place I could never reach" Watson said "My mum shouldn't have been soothing Sherlock, he should've been soothing her, you talk about his greatness, about your greatness, how is it that men can be so obsessed by it, yet never see when a woman has it" Bea yelled "Do you not think I know that... how could I ever compete, do you not think... that watching them fall deeper in love, every touch they shared, every smile, do you not think, I just, I just wanted him to see me" Watson said "Why did you save him and not her" Bea asked "I didn't have a choice either way, I just acted" Watson said "Why did you save him and not her" Bea asked "When two people work together for so long, a bond forms... we were inseparable" Watson said "Tell me why you didn't save my mum" Bea yelled "Because I love him, because I've always loved him" Watson said "That's why you opened the Rip, and that's why you saved him and that's why you still look after him" Bea asked "No, No, a man like you isn't capable of love, you're too cold for it... why do you think it is that you're all alone" Bea said "I'm all alone... where are all your friends, then" Watson asked. "John" Sherlock called out "Bea" Y/N called out "John, where the hell are you" Sherlock yelled, Bea saw that Sherlock walked in carrying Jessie with Y/N behind them. "What happened to her" Bea yelled as Sherlock put her on the sofa. "Jessie, Jessie, Jessie" Bea said "What happened" Bea asked and looked at     Y/N. "The devil has arrived in London" Sherlock said.

Your POV
"When I arrived down by the harbor I found this boy next to her" Sherlock said and looked at me "The linen man did this Jessie used to talk about him, he made all those people kill themselves" I said "What did he do to her" Bea asked "He touched her wrist and then touched her forehead, I think she's trapped it her mind" I said, Sherlock looked at Watson "It's not him, Sherlock... I know a lot of stuff has happened between has happened between you both, but what's happening now has got nothing to do with the doctor" Bea said she looked at Watson and then back at Jessie. Sherlock sat down, "He's an Ipsissimus, he has to be, if he has the same powers as Jessie, as Alice, he can access your greatest fears, your worst memories, destroy you with them" Sherlock said "Why is he here, why is he doing this" Bea asked "The Rip, an Ipsissimus like him, he'd have the skill to harness all of its powers, he will become a god in this world" Watson said "A God... of nightmares" Sherlock said "So, if we don't find the Rip and close it, we're doomed... and if we don't find it before the Linen Man, we're doomed" Bea said "So basically were Super Doomed" I said, Sherlock got up and began to play the violin with his finger, we looked at him, "What are you doing" Bea asked "I'm doing something... thinking... if you look at this from another angle, it could be a good thing" Sherlock said "A good thing, how's that, then" Bea asked "Well... currently we have no way of finding the Rip, but now we have a master Ipsissimus who's gonna find it for us" Sherlock said "Find it for us" Watson asked "So, What's the plan" Bea asked, Sherlock countinued playing the violin with his finger and looked out the window "Okay, Okay, I propose, given the state of everything, that we... that we stay here and wait for something to happen" Sherlock said "That's your plan" Bea asked "Yeah" Sherlock said "Wait for something to happen" Bea said "I'm telling you" Sherlock said "Is this what you were taking about earlier about him being brilliant, cause this is gold, just pure gold" Bea said looking at Watson.
