"Sarge?"
"Yes, Corporal Ping?"
"Why're some of you wearing purple flowers, Sarge?"
There was a subtle change in the atmosphere, a suction of sound caused by many pairs of ears listening intently. All the officers in the room had stopped writing.
"I mean, I saw you and Reg and Nobby wearing 'em this time last year, and I wondered if we were all supposed to..." Ping faltered. Sergeant Colon's normally amiable eyes had narrowed and the message they were sending was: you're on thin ice, lad, and it's starting to creak...
"I mean, my landlady's got a garden and I could easily go and cut a--" Ping went on in an uncharacteristic attempt at suicide.
"You'd wear the lilac today would you?" said Colon quietly.
"I just meant that if you wanted me to I could go and--"
"Were you there?" said Colon, getting to his feet so fast that his chair fell over.
"Steady, Fred," murmured Nobby.
"I didn't mean..." Ping began. "I mean...was I where, Sarge?"
Colon leaned on the desk, bringing his round red face an inch away from Ping's nose.
"If you don't know where there was, you weren't there," he said in the same quiet voice.

Wait what happened with Sherlock. Turning his best friend into a dog?
Oooh boy. Okay strap in.
I dunno how far into the show you got if any but let me try and sum it up.
In the third series, Sherlock got shot and to calm himself down so as not to go into shock he remembered "Redbeard"; a red setter dog he had as a kid. In his "mind palace" we see young Sherlock beckoning him, petting him, letting him lick his face (it's important to keep this in mind, trust me).
Cut to the end of the next series, we find out about Sherlock's crazy sister who has never been mentioned in the show before and the writers pulled right out of their ass. Sherlock's brother explains to John that their sister killed "Redbeard the dog" when they were little kids and it traumatised Sherlock so much and the sister, Euros, tried to burn down their house before the older brother had his parents and Sherlock believe she died before locking her away in a prison on an island where she spent the next thirty years brainwashing the guards to serve her but never leaving? Idk it was so dumb.
Anyhoot! Euros taunts Sherlock with memories about Redbeard like the food bowl with his name on. Watson gets thrown down a well, presumably the same one Redbeard was drowned in and he finds the bones and tells Sherlock they're not dog bones, they're child bones- which causes Sherlock to remember that Redbeard was actually the name his childhood friend Victor Trevor used when they played pirates as kids. Euros was jealous and wasn't evil really, she just wanted her brother to play with her! So she left the kid to starve in the well. And Sherlock turned him into a dog in his memories to cope. What happened to Victor's parents? What happened to the search that would have gone and been remembered about this missing kid? Why did this little boy eat out of a doggy bowl? Who the fork knows!
Then Sherlock hugged his sister which was apparently all she needed and she's good now. Hooray or something!
