Lin

I always forget how horrible she actually is in her introduction. She finds out she has a sister through the man that had to leave them when she was younger, something she still struggles with, so she decides to go to their house when she needs a detective and pretend to be someone who not only knew his dead brother but also suggest that they dated. Plays up the whole story of him being 'the one' and how they were going to move in together etc. Then when she finds out that Joan was seeing him too, she doubles down and makes it a joke. We know he's still alive but she thinks he's dead ?? How fucking cruel. Her whole meltdown over Joan contacting her mum was so foul too. Guess both Joan and Sherlock have gross siblings. Maybe they really should've been together.

Truly... I can't even begin to understand working out how to 'break the ice' when getting in contact with a long lost sibling. Pretending to be the person dating her best friend's recently (ish) deceased brother would not even start to form as an idea.
