OoOo that makes so much sense.

Theories about how the pool scene is going to end?
My idea is a little weird, but it's the only thing that made sense. Everything is fake. The bomb is fake, the snipers are fake, the gun isn't loaded. The first two are explained thusly: Moriarty doesn't want to kill Sherlock, no matter what he says. He's having much too fun with him. Holmes didn't realize it was a fake bomb because it was under the jacket and he was preoccupied with the notion of Watson's death (we all agree Sherlock was not quite his rational self when he realized John might be in danger; this uncharacteristic panic explains why he wasn't catching on to things quite as quickly as he typically does). He only realized it was fake at the end, when it was in plain view right in front of Moriarty. The snipers aren't real because Moriarty doesn't like dirty work being done in front of him (another reason why they won't die). They're probably just guys with laser pointers. Possibly not even, seeing as Moriarty doesn't like people seeing his face in such situations. Lastly, the gun isn't loaded because in the beginning of the episode, Watson removed the magazine after Sherlock shot a smiley face into the wall.
So yeah. That's my idea.
