Bella goes to Mercury to do her forking.
She decides - since she can order up a custom fork at all - that her fork might as well have a copy of all her memories since she found Soph. To understand, to know what she's doing in the world, to not instantly want to punch Juliet in the nose for mishandling Soph in some way. To know what day it is, if nothing else.

And then there are two.
And the new one cocks her head, and says, "Don't worry, we can merge - well, I will, anyway, who knows if the crystal ball was lying - but first why don't we surprise Sherlock?"
And the not-new one smiles, and says, "Why not?"
And at precisely the same time, they teleport, wearing matching smiles.

"You can divvy up the work and the dorm amongst yourselves assuming that's all amicable; if you need me to settle disagreements let me know. As long as you're here you can also let me know if anyone shows up on the planet who isn't with me or one of these people -" She conjures up illusions of Sherlock, Tony, Soph, James, Minnie, Virginia, and, what the heck, Giles. "These folks are all allowed, anyone else might not be and I will want to investigate."

"Excellent. Anything else we should go over before I go do other stuff?" asks Bella, clapping her hands in a businesslike manner.

"Okay. Welcome to Mercury."
And she pops back down to Earth to find Soph, because she has not seen Soph since her fork-and-merge.
