I haven't actually finished it yet, it's still taking shape - extremely slowly. But what I very much think is going to happen is that I'm going to play the scene with Sherlock's father dominating with mental manipulation and John countering it as best he can - and then your suggestion is the zinger we exit on. This way it plays as a fact that everyone but John is well aware of - very much 'the elephant in the room' if you look back, and then an effective final reveal of, 'oh, that's what this was all about - that's what every conversation this family has is actually about'. bugger.'
