To make the Victorian outfits make sense, I really want to see a story that starts with a conversation among Sherlock, John, and Mary that ends up going something like: Sherlock: (to prove John an idiot) Like that time you thought we were magically transported to the Victorian age? John: I thought we agreed never to mention that again... Mary: Oh, I don't know this story!
And so they tell her the story of how Sherlock knocked out/drugged John, and when John woke up he was dressed in Victorian clothes and without any modern tech (phone, watch, etc) in an old country mansion full of other people in Victorian outfits... and then there's a dead body...
Turns out it's a Victorian-themed murder mystery party, and the other guests don't like to break character (ever) so all act confused when he mentions modern things.
Bonus points if the dead body is real and only Sherlock and John know that Ten times bonus points for every day John is kept in the dark about the year they're in...
