Joan tries not to be concerned about Ted's safety, seeing as Rupert is in jail and Moriarty has declared Ted to be off-limits. She can't completely banish that worry, though, so it joins her anxiety about his physical and emotional welfare. She doesn't know how to feel about Sherlock's role in all of this, since he won't tell her what was said or what's going on.
Sherlock doesn't like the position he's in, unable to be honest with his partner and best friend, knowing he's caused distress to a man he's come to care about quite a bit. He and Watson sit in a worried silence, Watson's smoothie sitting untouched on the nightstand.
Sherlock hears the text alert, and finds Ted's phone. He reads the text, then shows it to Watson, who exhales a sigh of relief.
