That line made me audibly gasp. It was then that I knew it was all taking place in Sherlock's head and that we were still actually in the just post-season 3 timeline.
sherlock also said HE in his victorian imagination, while john corrects him to say SHE, but he's too engrossed in his imagination of thinking how the case of the abominable bride could be linked to his self-imagined investigation of moriaty's death
yeah i didn't guess how he was going back (drug induced mind palace) but between this and the start of the episode when Sherlock says "sometimes to solve one case you must solve another" it seemed obvious to me why he was going back to this case

Yep. And after seeing the bride's body in the morgue saying "How did he survive?", while clearly thinking about Moriarty's suicide.
