Why?
Why did they bring a character in just to discard him?
Here's why my dear Sherlollyians.
1) Tom was there to create humor, and yeah, since Anderson became a fangirl we needed an idiot

And he's sad about it, you can tell (see second official Sherlolly kiss.) But now that Tom's out of the way and we saw the clear attachment with Molly, oh yeah, Sherlolly season 4.
