almh's going to sooooooo annoyed she missed this conversation! I love it when there's a few of us talking something out online like a chat. This thread, Harry's thread and the episode threads really benefit.

Who knows? If we get a season 9, maybe Harry possibly being in another life or death situation might just force the issue.

Yes been there and done that (going off topic now big time.) Was a disaster. I am sure it would work for H/R though !!

It's just that dating your boss can be a very scary enterprise.

Although, after the events of 8.1 Harry and Ruth seems to be on much more of an equal footing, and in 8.7 the way he tried to reason out his decisions with Ruth indicates that there is much less of a boss/underling tone to their relationship than there had been before she left. And maybe Harry will be in that life-threatening situation in 8.8...

I think he's the one not acting now, so maybe she needs to be in the life-threatening situation to make something happen . . .

And congrats guys! This thread's just hit the most viewed list. I've been expecting it for a bit, and it's a testament to the enduring popularity of this couple that it holds its own amongst the angst of waiting for season 8 to start and the episode discussions.

Nice work

Please No !! I cant face Harry in another life threatening situation and the 10 month wait !! NO NO NO. Then again the clip for episode 8.8 at the end of episode 8.7

Sometimes he doesn't even have to go that far!

Will it be worth it if it finally gets them into each others' arms, Tea Lady?

Ditto!

Hasn't everyone?

But I didn't with Harry. It might be a different set of issues but not the usual ones. Although maybe the time thing though.

I keep coming back to that thing of how intimate it can be, having a relationship in an already clandestine world. The thing is, that Ruth and Harry have always felt like that in the moments they snatch together, so I don't think sharing will be their issue.

You know, when it happens.

Spoiler: show

showed Harry being allowed out of the Grid. Why Ruth has allowed this I dont know as he gets into all sorts of trouble when he wanders further than the HS's office these days

Yeah, but it doesn't look
