Series 9 Episode 3 discussion

[molecatcher]

Great stuff! It just gets better and better. I thought this week's episode was written briiliantly and even Beth became just a little more believable as a Spook. The drowning scenes were difficult to watch, quite traumatic in fact but at least it made Viktor's death acceptable, in fact I'd have shot him myself after what he did.

The bickering scenes between Harry and Ruth are, I'm sure, building up to fireworks but when Harry asked in desperation "What have I done?" and Ruth fired back "Now is not the time for self analysis" I laughed out loud. There's the poor man cracking up and that's all the support she can offer the love of her life. Come on Ruth, time to thaw out!

Lucas finally standing up to Vaughen showed he's starting to feel more confident about Harry's reaction to whatever happened in the past but I do wonder at his credibility when he appears unable or unwilling to avoid yet another complicated love interest.

All in all the whole hour was gripping and oh so clever as it continued the theme of lies and trust.
