Moriarty’s Shocking Fate and the Twist That Changes Everything in Watson’s Finale!

by

Could it be possible that James Moriarty survived the events of Season 1 finale of Sherlock? Throughout the seasons, Moriarty has been a powerful figure working behind the scenes, but in an intense confrontation with John Watson, he was seemingly defeated. With secrets being revealed and personal motivations at play, Watson faced a decision that could shape his future and potentially change the direction of the show.

Here’s what really happened to Moriarty — and how it sets the stage for Season 2.

Does Moriarty really die at the end of Watson’s finale?

Yes, Moriarty dies at the end of Watson Season 1.

As a gamer, I’d rephrase Craig Sweeny’s statement like this: “In our game, we set up a situation where no matter what transpired, there was always this cache of DNA to be found. I firmly believe that Watson, the character in question, acted from a place of minimizing harm.

At the end of the story, Watson employs Moriarty’s personal DNA to introduce a custom-made virus into him. Once Moriarty comes to the Holmes Clinic, he is sightless. In this situation, Watson retrieves the antidote for Stephens but allows Moriarty to perish.

Here’s another option:

In the final act, Watson exploits Moriarty’s DNA to insert a custom virus into him. As Moriarty arrives at the Holmes Clinic, blind, Watson retrieves the antidote for Stephens but chooses not to save Moriarty.

In simpler terms, Watson explains his reasons for what he did by pointing out that Moriarty was the one causing harm through his misuse of medical data to create deadly viruses. Even though Moriarty was hospitalized, Watson remained with him until his passing and then closed his eyes after death. However, the showrunner, Craig Sweeny, hasn’t completely ruled out future appearances by Randall Park, but he confirmed that, indeed, Moriarty has passed away when directly asked about it.

Do the twins, Adam and Stephens die in Watson’s finale?

No, both Adam and Stephens Croft survive.

Because of a virus created by Moriarty, the team initially possessed only one cure, leading them to decide through a coin flip. Adam was given the first dose. Later, Watson tricked Moriarty into providing the antiviral necessary to save Stephens by utilizing a virus tailored to Moriarty’s genetic code. The illness caused temporary blindness, compelling Moriarty to return to the clinic for assistance.

Instead of giving the antidote to Moriarty as promised, Watson chooses to use it to save Stephens. Although there were initial discussions about eliminating one of the brothers in the script, Sweeny explained that they decided to keep both characters because getting rid of one would have been a practical decision rather than a creative one (as reported by ScreenRant).
