[spoilers] Harry and Ruth Strike Back

[Silktie]

On the other hand Harry didn't have much of a choice at that stage. Zoe and Danny were missing in action together with Tom, and Harry has never had a high opinion of Sam's abilities, which really leaves only Ruth as an option for help to Harry. I do think her reaction is telling, though, as she needs very little persuasion to see things Harry's way. Ruth knows that Tom has become emotionally unstable since that undercover operation in the army, I think making it easier for her to see Harry's point of view. Her unwavering support probably meant a lot to Harry, and cemented his unwavering trust in her from that point on.
