Philip Anderson has been obsessed with Sherlock since his death, and tries convincing Greg Lestrade of the possibility of Sherlock being alive by mentioning certain events in Tibet, India, Germany, and other locations. However, Lestrade tells Anderson that Sherlock is most certainly dead. Lestrade goes to visit John, who has moved out of Baker Street since Sherlock's death. He gives John some of Sherlock's old items, including a video message for John's birthday. In the message Sherlock states that he will see John very soon and tells him to have a good birthday without him as he is 'busy'.
