The Business Killer
Okay, TJLCers, I can no longer remain a lurker. This shit is getting too damn real, and I have to share my thoughts on this new trailer. So, we know from setlock that Toby Jones's character is known as The Business Killer on what appears to be an Apprentice type television show. My first thoughts after seeing Sherlock, John, and Mycroft in that strange room together were "Mind Palace", but then upon further viewing, I reconsidered. I think Smith has placed the three in the room together so that they can act out a twisted version of his reality show just for him. Hear me out, now. I can't say exactly why he would do this other than speculating that the trio had some sort of plan to take Smith down, but it failed pretty spectacularly. Now, he has the opportunity to do whatever he likes with them, and he chooses to hurt them by making them hurt each other. If they want to get out alive, they have to play his game. Mycroft of course immediately protests because, honestly, the ridiculousness of it all! "Is this suppose to be a game?" In that shot of Smith delivering the line, "Tell them your darkest secret." he's speaking to them inside that room. More specifically, he's speaking to Sherlock. "Tell them your darkest secret, and I'll let them live." Sherlock is grabbing his head in that panicked way he does a la TGG/Reichenbach because he wants to find a way out of this that doesn't involve any of them actually giving in to this creep, but there isn't another way. They have to play, so he does. "I love you." Some other nagging thoughts: The gun seems to be being passed back and forth under the direction of a large, unknown man. Perhaps whomever is holding the gun has to answer Smith's question or do whatever he tells them. Some sick version of truth or dare, maybe? I'm not sure exactly how the gun would come into play, though. I'm sure it's pretty effed up, whatever it is. Also, I think Sherlock is staring into a two way mirror, knowing Smith is on the other side taunting him. Okay, that's enough of me for now. What do you guys think? I'd love to hear your thoughts. Sorry I have no visuals to make this a bit clearer.
Okay, now I'm gonna sound even crazier, but I still think it could be the same episode. We've seen a lot of time pass in one episode before, and we've seen the heroes think they've won only to be proven wrong. I think it could be something like that. Or even that they don't think they've won, but Sherlock has been "cured" and they've rallied together to take down the villain only to be one step behind.

Further (possible) mind palace evidence: John and Mycroft are statues back there. It’s like they’re paused. It reminds me of whatever this camera technique is:

BBC: Someone has been playing a very long game indeed…
me: [watches fandom guess almost every character]
me: Yeah, that’s fine, keep going. I’m just going to get comfortable and wait.
