I must admit this chapter threw me out of the story. It is like you said in you comment, I can't imagine that Doyle doesn't remember the house he lived in. And I don't like all the whimpering and weeping. The Doyle I know from the eps and from other stories is a hard Doyle with a soft core, but the Doyle we see here is a very soft Doyle with an even softer core.

Sometimes it feels as if he is schizophrenic, but then he wouldn't have made it through the police or become a CI5 agent. I don't know why the author made him so unsure of himself. I hope she didn't reflect anything of herself into Doyle.
