I may be over analysing the episode but when the team on the Grid were listening into Lucas speaking to the fake Harry - when Ruth said that Lucas thought he was speaking to Harry she seemed to say it in an almost satisfied way and when Ruth commented that Lucas hadn't killed Danielle it was with an air of disappointment.

I'm sure Ruth can't be trusted and as I mentioned somewhere before I think that's why she never accepted Harry's proposal because although she loves him she knows that ultimately she will betray MI5 which also means Harry.

I'm sorry, but I am going to respectfully disagree with you on some points here.

I also interpreted the bleep to mean that the call was disconnected and this came after the operator asked which service he required. He then requested an ambulance, gave a description of her condition and said they would need an 'air medevac'. He then went over to Danielle and took over the pressure, gradually releasing it a finger at a time.

When the grid were listening to Lucas's calls, Ruth sounded triumphant when she realised that Lucas had twigged that the kill order didn't come from Harry. I also caught a note of pride when Beth asked if Lucas would carry out the kill order and Ruth said 'He might, because it came from Harry'. She looked towards him with a look of respect at this moment.

I really think that Ruth doesn't want Lucas to go bad, because she doesn't want to heap another load of trouble on Harry's shoulders. She cares too deeply for Harry to ever be pleased when he is betrayed by one of the team. It's probably one of the reasons she didn't tell him - she wanted to have some proper evidence first.

I still cannot see how Ruth would betray Harry, her country or MI-5. I truly hope that there is too little time left now for me to be proved wrong, because it would be a heart breaking end to a great series.
