I love this thread

Yes - Adam told Bakshi that Ana was pregnant and said that a friend had told him - someone he lost, someone he loved. That could only have been Ros.

Neither of them contacted each other whilst Ros was in Russia because Adam did not know where she was (he had no idea who Rangefinder was) and Ros did not know Adam did not know. In the cab, she asked Connie whether Adam knew she was back. It is feasible to assume that Ros thought that Adam was genuinely trying to move on.

TBH. I think Adam only used Ana for information. He used her as a honey trap. It's not to say he didn't like her but I don't think he was in love with her. S6 was supposed to be in real (ish) time so his relationship with her was fairly short. They were all tired and stressed from dealing with the Tehran bomb, stopping Iran getting nuclear capability etc etc. so Adam had a reasonable excuse for his lapse in judgement.

Ros and Adam didn't have a conventional relationship, but they were not conventional people. Neither was capable of communicating effectively on an emotional level (for instance, Ros' response to Adam's concern in 6.03 and Adam's meeting with Ros in the corridor after she rescued him from drowning in 6.06) However I do think they had genuine feelings for each other.

Adam told Ben about the Tehran bomb. It may have been a betrayal but it was Ben. Ben was never going to do anything unauthorised and he was almost one of them by then. Harry was cross but he was under stress - he had been thrown off the grid and was under attack. He did recognise that Adam had done it because he had lost Ros. Having lost Ruth, Harry may have had some empathy which is why he didn't appear to take any further action on the incident.

I don't understand why adam was upset for losing Ros because it was Ros's fault that she had to leave. So his anger was misplaced.
Anyway, it was great drama
