With Sherlock leaving with Doro, Doro's idol career came to an end as well. Even when the Ancient One contacted the agency and broke the bad news, the agency was practically ready to kneel and beg Doro to return, but it was no use.
In the end, the Ancient One had no choice but to authorize the agency to continue operating Doro's merchandise, splitting the profits fifty-fifty.
Naturally, the Ancient One would not pocket the money. It would be used to improve Kamar-Taj's infrastructure. The many sorcerers of Kamar-Taj probably never imagined that one day they would be managing a virtual idol, and doing so in Japan, no less.
As for Sherlock, the Ancient One did not tell him about the arrangement. Even if Sherlock found out in the future, the Ancient One would not care. After all, given Sherlock's alchemical expertise, he probably would not care about such "small money."
After Sherlock brought Doro back to Los Angeles, his trip there officially came to an end. He and Doro could return to their peaceful daily lives.
Pepper was somewhat reluctant to see Sherlock leave, but Tony practically raised both hands and feet in support of Sherlock returning to his normal life. In Tony's words, anyone who dared disturb Sherlock would have to answer to him!

Damn it, this was the first time in Tony's life that he had been so sick of a so-called "pick-me."
But clearly, neither Pepper nor Sherlock cared. Even though they both knew Sherlock's "pick-me" act was fake, they tacitly chose not to expose it.
Why?
Simple. Tony's utterly shattered expression was just too entertaining!
Both Sherlock and Pepper could never get enough of seeing Tony
