In the sign of three (original title: The Sign of Three ) is the second episode of the third season of the British television series Sherlock .

action
John Watson and Mary Morstan get married. In numerous flashbacks, as part of Sherlock's speech, who appears as Watson's best man, various anecdotes and unsolved cases are described, including the attempted murder of a Grenadier Guard who asks Holmes for help because he feels persecuted. Holmes and Watson go to see him, but they cannot prevent the attack and find the soldier unconscious and seriously injured in a closed shower. How the attempted murder was carried out remains unclear for the time being.
Sherlock describes another unsolved case in which a woman turns to him because she believes she had a rendezvous with a ghost. Sherlock discovers that there have been numerous similar incidents with other women and concludes that the person sought is one and the same person who impersonates the deceased for one day at a time.
During his speech, the solution to the puzzle of the unsolved cases comes to Sherlock's mind, and he concludes that at the wedding, Watson's former boss, Major James Sholto, is about to be murdered. Sherlock realizes that the major was seriously injured with a stab through his belt unnoticed by the perpetrator and that the wound is kept closed by the belt until Sholto takes it off. The attack on the Grenadier Guard was supposed to serve as a kind of "exercise". However, thanks to the intervention of Sherlock, Watson and Mary, the plan fails, and Sherlock is able to convict wedding photographer Jonathan Small, the man who does not appear in a single picture, as the perpetrator. He admits that he wanted to murder Sholto in revenge for his brother who died in the war.
Finally, Sherlock reveals to Mary and John Watson that the two are expecting a child.
