Yes, Sam's behavior is a puzzlement for me in this ep. It's been set up previously that she wants to do more "spook" work and less tea serving, but spying on a friend is really low, especially given that it's Ruth and she's really not doing anything that's so awfully terrible. It's not like she's selling state secrets or threatening the security of the country. She could have told Ruth that Harry was suspicious of her and to knock it off -- that's what a real friend would have done, imo.
