Episode 5 Discussion [re-watch]

[lwhite53]

I don't believe Harry was involved in Ruth's "date" with Fortescue -- that was all Sam, I think. Sam got excited about Ruth's lunch and R's description of F and urged her on. I don't really think Sam was being malicious, she just wasn't thinking (as someone said earlier, she's not the sharpest knife in the drawer). And Malcolm helping out was just Malcolm being nice. If M had had any idea Harry was onto Ruth, he would have gone in the other direction . . . fast!
