Following a chase around London with Sherlock, John's limp disappears and so, presumably, does the tremor. This only proves the Holmes brothers correct, and John's therapist wrong.
John is also shown to be loyal and courageous, with a strong sense of personal integrity. His "strong moral principles" are likely a result of his medical training and army service. He refuses Mycroft's offer to pay him to spy on Sherlock, despite only having just met Sherlock at this time and not knowing that Mycroft was his brother. He is willing to occasionally use deadly force, but he is only ever seen to do so when someone else's life is in immediate danger.
He shows no visible signs of regretting his actions afterwards. In the second series, John is referred to as Sherlock's P. John writes about Sherlock's cases on his blog, which attracts clients to them.

A history of the poppy: Why we wear them as a symbol of remembrance and other facts. Mike is now an instructor at the hospital and, upon hearing John needs a new place to live, mentions another person saying the same thing that morning.
Mike takes John to a lab in the morgue to introduce him. Within seconds and with a few fleeting glances, Sherlock has deduced key elements of John's life, and although both awestruck and off-put, John agrees to meet Sherlock the next day at B Baker Street.
Upon seeing the flat, John expresses interest in renting it. Sherlock requests he come along to a crime scene as his assistant. There, John witnesses more of Sherlock's uncanny deductive ability as well as his complete animosity toward the Yard's investigative team.
Sally Donovan goes so far as to warn John to stay away from Sherlock. Sobered by this information and abandoned by Sherlock at the crime scene, John returns to a main road to pick up a cab.
Instead, he is intercepted by a strange car and taken to a secure location to have a talk with Sherlock's brother, Mycroft Holmes. Mycroft never introduces himself, and due to his questionable attitude and methods, John is unwilling to take what he has to say seriously. Mycroft offers him money to spy on Sherlock, which John declines.
He also notes that John's therapist has reported that he has a tremor in his left hand. However, upon observing the same hand during their conversation, Mycroft says, "You're under stress right now and your hand is perfectly steady. You're not haunted by the war, Dr Watson.
You miss it. Despite several warnings to the contrary, John returns to B — first stopping off at his old residence to collect his firearm — and continues to aid Sherlock in the murder investigation.

When faced with the apprehension of a potential suspect, John forgets entirely about his psychosomatic limp and is able to keep up with Sherlock during the chase.
When they return to Baker Street, Sherlock tells the landlady, Mrs Hudson , that John will indeed be renting the flat. John comes to Sherlock's rescue after Sherlock goes off on his own to confront a serial killer. John uses a victim's mobile phone, left in the possession of the killer, to track their location via GPS. He shoots the killer from an adjacent building, thinking that Sherlock's life is in danger. He is an excellent marksman, able to shoot through two windows and over Sherlock's shoulder in order to fatally wound the suspect.
Afterward, John moves into B and begins blogging about their adventures. Despite Sherlock's consultant status and John's army pension, money remains tight, prompting John to seek employment at a medical centre. There he meets another doctor, Sarah Sawyer , with whom he is attempts to begin a relationship. He sets out to aid Sherlock with a new case, an endeavour that cuts into his work day.
Sarah covers for him when he falls asleep on the job and John manages to get a date out of her. He unwisely accepts Sherlock's recommendation of a place to take her, and all three of them end up at a visiting Chinese circus while Sherlock investigates the performers as part of their case.
Sherlock appears to set the record straight and save the two. Later, it is revealed that John has been blogging about specific cases of Sherlock's, and it is gaining some popularity — particularly with the members of Scotland Yard.
Their next case is unlike any they have seen before. An anonymous bomber is deliberately playing a game of wits with Sherlock. John assists as best he can, but their adversary is intent upon blowing up his victims if Sherlock cannot solve certain cases within a specific amount of time. John becomes concerned for the innocent lives hanging in the balance between Sherlock and their mysterious bomber, and equally concerned that Sherlock does not seem to care about human life at all.
An argument ensues between the two, and John is angered by Sherlock's cold attitude, but relents to continue aiding in the investigation.
John is later abducted by the bomber — revealed to be Jim Moriarty — and used as the final victim in a confrontation with Sherlock. John attempts to sacrifice himself, attacking Moriarty, so that if the bomb were to detonate, he would take Moriarty out with him. Moriarty sees that John values Sherlock's life above his own and in turn has his snipers train their weapons on Sherlock.
This forces John to back off from Moriarty. Sherlock removes the explosives from John's coat. The two then decide it would be worth both their deaths to detonate the bomb and take Moriarty out with them.
