I made the mistake of searching 'sherlock' on Twitter after the episode because I was curious if I'd missed any prior references to his sister (or any literary analogue).

I learned something....evidently there's a significant number of people that would very much like to see the show end with Sherlock and Watson ****ing. I believe its hashtag is 'johnlock'.

And it's once again convinced me that I pretty much loathe humanity. I mean for ****'s sake, people.

Not sure your specific reference, but Mycroft's telephone call in E2 may hint at the impending appearance of a 3rd Sherlock brother.

Mycroft's TC spoke directly to the surfacing of Eurus, the 3rd Holmes sibling. John's shrink.

Sherrinford, previously alluded to in Last Vow [Mycroft referencing not being fond of brotherly compassion, given what transpired with 'the other one'] then Mycroft placed a call to a Sherrinford [Doyle's originally contemplated name for Sherlock] in Lying Detective.
