It's probably too obvious, but in the trailer when Mycroft says something about 'If you go against Milverton, you're going against me,' I thought that some politician / establishment figure was being blackmailed (Mycroft *is* the government), and Sherlock thinks it's Mycroft personally, so gets involved. Which is when he discovers Mary isn't as squeaky clean as portrayed (but not that she was being blackmailed herself.)
I think she's being set up as the (unwitting) victim of her past / family and tries to redeem herself by helping Sherlock. And yes, no fanfic writer could write worse scenarios than we've been seeing.
