Irene is coming back and nobody can convince me otherwise. (I think everybody on this forum agrees, seeing as we all ship the same thing. c:)
But I've had some crazy theories as to how she will return in series four, my favorite on being this: Sherlock will be in the middle of a case and Irene is involved somehow and she's misbehaving and she shows up all of the sudden, and Sherlock's all like, "You're not supposed to be in London" blah blah blah and then she shuts him up by aggressively making out with him and then all is merry.
Now, this is just my idea, but how do you think that Irene will come back?

I can almost taste Irene on the horizon, there's been so many little hints and things and they've all been so lovely, but I'm ready for her to make another full fledged appearance. I'd like to think they had a least a bit of contact while he was away for two years, and then he lost track of her. And I too would prefer to have her have some sort of involvement in a case. He's starting to object and all it takes is her fingers tracing his cheek to quiet him, that's all it would take to dismantle him. And then cue the little touches to her pulse point, the unnecessary brush of shoulders when they pass by each other. But yes, let us build up to the make out session.

Ohh that would be just right <3 I personally would like to see Sherlock turning to her asking for help, instead of Irene being directly involved with the case (which could mean she's a suspect). Though I totally want her to keep on being a badass, still misbeheaving all around the world...

That scenario is equally queer and yet interesting, all at the same time. :3
And I have to admit that that'd be cute as heck but you did not just read me type this, obviously.

I really like the "Spooks" idea-Irene somehow made it into M-16 without anyone knowing, under a different name, of course. And Sherlock and Irene can be badasses together, haha.

Since during A Scandal in Belgravia they have been presented with parallels I'd love her to save him unexpectedly. His jaw dropping again would make my day.

At the end of His Last Vow, I was 252039842930% sure that Irene was gonna save Sherlock's ass from exile. But Moriarty coming back works as well.

I suspect and have suspected since Moriarty's revelation that he is indeed not dead that Sherlock will seek out Irene or vice versa. BOTH of them have a mental connection obviously. In A Scandal in Belgravia they effortlessly communicated without speaking, they exchanged thoughts through looking at each other which proves that they are connected in ways beyond just sexually.
Irene will either seek out protection or help from Sherlock and Sherlock would do the same. Seeing as Irene worked with Moriarty before had most likely has dirt on him, she could be an excellent asset to Sherlock in tracking him down or something like that. Every body seems to have a thing for faking their deaths, ha ha.
When they meet, it would have to be at 221B Baker Street where John would be shocked to the core that Irene is alive and Mycroft would find out inevitably. I could imagine him scolding his younger brother for letting "sentiment" guide him in his actions of saving her in Karachi. But Sherlock wouldn't care because he cares so much about Irene (whether they'll admit it to each other or not) he'll continue working with her. There might be a murder involving one of Moriarty's network men and Irene would tag along and impress Sherlock with her deduction/seduction skills and irk Mycroft but so what, he can't touch her because she's too much of a liability- especially for his brother.
She "died" once and Mycroft panicked and had John and Mrs. Hudson search the place for drugs in suspicion that Sherlock was depressed. (which he was as noted by him composing a ballad for Irene) The second time she "died" Sherlock went and saved her life. A third time would be out of the question.
Mycroft might be all "caring is not an advantage" to Sherlock but then all Irene has to do is stroke his cheek or flash him a demure grin and BAM he's all sentimental and frazzled.
And they had better kiss or makeout or make loveeeeee (though that last one might be asking for a bit much from Moffat) in season four.

What I really want for Irene's return is for John and Sherlock to be rushing back into 221B after Sherlock gets off the plane, and John is doing his John thing of asking questions and Sherlock doing a rapidfire deduction/trying to figure out how Moriarty came back, and as they walk into Baker Street, Sherlock freezes. Something about the flat doesn't seem right, and he goes quiet. A few seconds later, John stops talking too, and just looks at Sherlock, who raises his hand to indicate John should stay exactly where he is. John doesn't, of course, and follows as Sherlock scrutinizes the kitchen before heading down the hall to his bedroom and his half-open door.
He pushes the door open, and someone is sitting on his bed, reading Janine's tabloid.
"You really can't be trusted on your own, can you, Mr. Holmes?" Irene says as she lowers the paper to reveal her face (she is, this time, dressed in black, something more like her Battersea Power Station outfit). "First the gunshot, now a death sentence." She reaches down to her side, picks up a flash drive, and tosses it at him. John's mouth is still gaping wide open while Sherlock merely looks at her. "You're welcome, by the way."
Sherlock catches the USB drive, examines it, and a small smile begins to spread across his face. "Did you find a body double, or splice together footage of dear old Jim?"

Sherlock catches the USB drive, examines it, and a small smile begins to spread across his face. "Did you find a body double, or splice together footage of dear old Jim?" YES YES YES PRETTY MUCH YES. I agree completely! I want Irene to return, but like everyone else, I just want Sherlock and her to stay true-to-character. I'm just nervous about her coming back to the show and then completely losing the magic that made A Scandal in Belgravia so damn fun and intriguing. The best part of their relationship is the back-and-forth, the tug-of-war between the two. They're completely on a different playing field than everyone else, especially when it comes to their feelings for one another. If a true kiss does happen (which I sincerely hope for), I want it to be in the most honest way possible. They're never going to have that domestic bliss that John and Mary have adapted into, and nor would I want them to. They're simply not those kind of people. However, I have the utmost faith in the writers and judging by how absolutely wonderful Irene's cameo was in The Sign of Three, I have a feeling that her return will be nothing short of spectacular. I hope she's not made to be an adversary again as it would be too repetitive, and I love the idea of her helping Sherlock escape his exile by staging Moriarty's return. I keep thinking that the new villain will be Moran, and I'm not going to lie, I'd be super excited if Moriarty is actually back for good. I have no earthly idea how they both 'fake-suicided' each other, but I love Andrew Scott and would be delighted to see him back on my screen. I just want Irene to be an ally of sorts this time around, it would provide for another interesting story and wouldn't be A Scandal in Belgravia 2.0. Just please, please, please, for the love of God...Moffat, do not make Irene into a damsel-in-distress again and do absolutely not create a love-triangle between Molly (who needs to get with Lestrade ASAP), Sherlock, and Irene. It's the only thing I can think of that's worse than the extreme Johnlock shippers. ***Just realized that I wondered earlier if the writers would bring in a Godfrey Norton-type character into the mix alongside Irene Adler, but I'm not exactly sure how that would make sense with the BBC's version of Irene Adler identifying as a lesbian. Why in the world would she be married to a man if her sexual orientation isn't heterosexual unless, it was a Janine-Sherlock kind of affair where she was using Godfrey Norton for some kind of business. Otherwise, I don't know how it would work. I just hope she's single and ready to mingle with Sherlock after the hiatus. After all these Irene-and-Sherlock-still-care-for-each-other hints from the third series, as well as from the actors and creators, I would be highly surprised if she comes back and their unique relationship isn't explored more. |

See: Penelope Huxleigh. With Irene's canonical identification as lesbian (albeit with a seemingly really strong sapiosexuality component), and the writers' way of relentlessly using Irene and Sherlock as mirrors, I am 100% rooting for Irene to come back with Penelope "Nell" Huxleigh as her Watson/Godfrey Norton, except in this case Irene is also involved with Nell. Although if this actually happens I might freak out because *cough* fanfic reasons. |

It stays true to BBC's version of Irene Adler and creates an extremely interesting dynamic, especially with Sherlock, for her return! I'm interested to read these novels by Carole Nelson Douglas. |

I kind of have this idea in mind wherein Sherlock sets off with John for another country to track down a nuclear weapons syndicate who happens to be going to a convention on nuclear warheads etc etc. He sees Irene at the convention and finds that he is married to the syndicate he is tracking down: Godfrey Norton.
[I'm writing it at the moment. I already have the full plot in mind. I just need to finish it :') ]

Just please, please, please, for the love of God...Moffat, do not make Irene into a damsel-in-distress again and do absolutely not create a love-triangle between Molly (who needs to get with Lestrade ASAP), Sherlock, and Irene. It's the only thing I can think of that's worse than the extreme Johnlock shippers. I think you just pointed out my three worst fears regarding her possible return: - The Villain.. Wherever she is, I don't think she's being a good girl--I certainly hope she isn't--but that's not a excuse to bring her back as the bad girl. There are so many ways--useful ways, indeed--in which her misbehaving can be addressed without making her a villain.
- The Damsel in Distress (and the whole 'why couldn't she be the winner'). When I watched ASiB for the first time, I wasn't troubled at all by Sherlock rescueing her in Karachi, and God knows I still relish in that, but if Irene showed something during ASiB was that she was very capable to take matters into her own hands (though I suppose there's little a single woman can do against a group of terrorists, but that's a story for another time). I keep imaging her being Sherlock's right hand at some case, even being the one that saves Sherlock (again) (and Lyra's idea is completely marvelous) and making Sherlock the damsel this time. And if they decide to bring her back as the villain, I would really like her to be the winner. Though Sherlock states in TSoT that he can't solve all the cases, we don't really get to see him in the losing side. If Irene's an adversary, I'd like her to outsmart him, like only she can (and that would make quite an interesting insight about their feelings, specially Sherlock's, after that. I imagine him all cranky because she beat him, but secretly pleased and intrigued about her skills to pull off whatever scheme she'd planned).
- The Triangle. Just. Don't. Sherlock's just not that kind of show. And I just love Molly so much, too; she's an incredible character as well and I think it'd be completely disrespectful to both women to simply reduce them to that.
