[spoilers] Sir Harry Pearce 2.0

[Silktie]

Episode 2.7 is not Harry's proudest moment, is it? I do give him points for being on the verge of going to the DG and confessing what happened, and I think he would not have used that kid if it was only about saving his own neck. But even in his dark hour his first thought is about the operation, and unfortunately for JJ he walks right into the middle of it with his special set of skills.

To me it highlights how Harry has changed over the seasons. In this episode he does not hesitate to send JJ on a one-way mission, but in season 8 we actually see him doubt his decision on sending that football playing kid undercover, and trying to justify his decision to Ruth. He has definitely softened over the years.

Back to his 2.7 look: I'm not a fan of the pullover, but I do like that shirt he was wearing underneath it. Pity we didn't see him in only the shirt for more of the episode...
