Series 9 Episode 7 discussion

[Tea Lady]

*takes another valium*

Well, that was stressful. A good solid episode but I was perhaps hiding behind my jumper for some of it, especially when Lucas stabbed Vaughn in the leg. That was nasty!!

Well, lets be honest now, who is John Bateman? Well, infortunately it seems he is a cold blooded killer and a terrorist. Probably acting out of monetary reward instead of any miss placed ideology. Why did he take the identity of Lucas North? I think it was just to save his own skin. Why did he spend 8 years in a cell in Russia? Because he had no choice. God knows what secrets he gave away. We only had his word for it, that he kept his mouth shut.

Basically everything John told Harry was BS. He also failed to mention Albany. Harry was played again.

I have to say that I actually had more sympathy with Vaughn in the end than Lucas. I can't see a way out for this for John, I am afraid.

As for the Ruth story !! Heavens. That woman is damaged goods. Everything Harry tries with her fails. I can't see that there is anything more he can do to bring the old Ruth back. The way she shot the Frenchman at the end? She didn't care did she? She had no feelings inside her.

I am convinced Harry spent the night at the hospital as well. She never even noticed that he seemed a mess and was at the hospital first thing in the morning.

Wonderful performances from RA, PF and NW.
