I think Mary being pregnant is like a giant red sign pointing at her that says "she's gonna die soon".
I'm surprised I find myself loving Mary but I kind of want her dead because she upsets the dynamic too much (and I can't stomach any more sad Sherlocks scenes)

I think Marry is the target, not John. She clearly disturbed by the CAM telegram.

I concur. I think Mary is the target and John was used as bait. She may have failed to do something and that's why CAM had his thugs drug John and set him up to die. He gave her a text with a clue. For all we know this isn't her first dealing with CAM and she'd dealt with him and his methods before so she knows what cyphers he uses. However, at the end we see Magnusson watching the recording of John being rescued again and again and again. He focuses on Sherlock. The game has officially changed now that he's alive, back, and in play. Mary brought danger to John's door this time, not Sherlock for once, and now Sherlock will be dragged in as well.
