[spoilers] Harry and Ruth Strike Back

[Naivety]

Harry has changed in this series. He is far more reflective of his role in what they are doing. Is this a result of what Ruth said to him about the decisions he's made? The 'story so far' sequence this week concentrated on this aspect of the proposal rejection.

An example of how he has changed is when he has remorse for his lack of judgement in allowing Aibek to escape. In a previous episode in Series 4 (I think) Juliet yells at him for making the wrong call and Harry snaps back at her ''So WHAT!''. He also said to her that whatever happens, neither should ever resign.

I'm wondering if Harry is trying to show Ruth that he is trying to make the right decisions for honourable reasons. In the scene on the Embankment when he says 'You have to give a man a chance' etc, his face is sooo earnest and then Ruth gives him a look back that to me seemed as though a penny had dropped. Did she begin to realise how much he's hurting?
