Biography

Season Four

After Sherlock and Watson visit the daughter of Morland's dead lover Sabine, and steal correspondence she has from her mother, Morland finds out and confronts Sherlock. Sherlock believes that Sabine was complicit in the attack on her and Morland. Morland doesn't agree and blames himself for Sabine's death which Sherlock finds infuriating as he was also responsible for his mother May's death. Morland explains that why he sent May away was that she was an addict and wouldn't go to a rehab centre. He regrets the action, especially as she died in a fire. ("Who Is That Masked Man?")
