[spoilers] Sir Harry Pearce 2.0

[Tea Lady]

Re the Ruth incident in his office, I think he was a little uncomfortable with an emotional woman having a go at him, but I think there was more to it than just that. Ruth was raising her voice to him a little and he was doing his best not to be annoyed. Why? Why should Ruth get away with that? When Zoe came in and interrupted, Harry was very short with her and snapped a little. He then ignored Sam. He kept his temper though with Ruth and tugged at his shirt collar which was becoming tighter. I felt he was treating Ruth differently. He would never speak to Ruth like he had just spoke to Zoe. He would also not ignore Ruth if she handed him some information, like Sam did, no matter how mundane that information was.

I think Harry had made his mind up for Ruth to stay straight away and was trying to keep it from her for professional reasons. He was starting to have feelings for Ruth and really was afraid that they may show through, but ended up making a hash of it a bit, by waiting too long to tell her. He then was a little stumped at how to tell her without making himself look like he had just made a snap last minute decision or had been keeping it from her for X reason.

Harry did look nice in this episode. A little pic for us from that episode. I was going to change my avatar but decided against it.
