lockedin221b: God knows where she is. I think Sherlock misses Irene in the sense that she’s another intellectual equal (or near equal), a challenge that isn’t Mycroft or a case. I think he misses having a mental sparring partner like her, and she lingers in his mind, though sometimes at inopportune moments and he gets annoyed/exasperated then. She’s not there naked for inherent sexual reasons IMO. That’s how Sherlock first met her, and why he couldn’t deduce her. To him, the quintessential sparring partner, the quintessential Irene Adler, is without a disguise and thus undeducible. A challenge, and he always likes a good challenge. -- source link
