Ros' introduction to the team

This is probably why Harry, Ruth and Adam all seemed to move on, at least on camera or as scripted.

That's fair enough, but it isn't just about what would or would not have happened to Ruth anyway, is it? It's about the deeper issue of trust. You cannot introduce a character the way they have Ros, and then have her do what she did with Ruth, and expect me to believe that Harry and Adam would not doubt her trustworthiness or loyalty to the team in any way. How do they know she won't do it again? What happens next time she's pissed at Harry? To not show them have doubts about her commitment to the team is unrealistic. If you want to portray her as a fully integrated and trusted member of the team for the rest of the season, you have to earn it, and I don't think they have.

Added to this, the Harry we know does not meekly accept one of his officers going behind his back like that and not have something to say about it. It's out of character, and that annoys me.
