We already know how Mary had quite the dodgy and murderous past. Is that really the end of her backstory, though?
What if she is secretly Sherlock's equivalent of Colonel Moran, Moriarty's second-in-command in the story 'The Empty House' (the story that Mary's debut 'The Empty Hearse' is based on). Mary's maiden name – Morstan – is rather similar to Moran, too.
While some believe that Mary is simply running away from her past, others reckon that she is actually still employed by Jim, and that she was planted to be with John to help destroy Sherlock when he least suspected it.
Of all places, this idea was sparked after a fan spotted something in the official Sherlock colouring book. Mary's wedding ring can be spotted in an illustration of the pool scene from 'The Great Game', eg – the place Sherlock first met Moriarty. Coincidence?
