Series 9 Episode 8 discussion

[Angie]

I can't believe how much I've been glued to the screen this last hour! I think I'm overdosing now on angst and drama and moving straight into analysis on what just happened, and prayers for what I hope will/won't happen next year!

Spoiler: show

Harry risked his career for Ruth.....and she was angry with him for that......so that was what I expected, but it was good to see the look she gave him before he left to see Lucas/John. Again, they didnt have to say anything but I hope he realised that she does love him. Lucas falling from the roof - ok, by this point he had nothing to live for, but it was an interesting revelation that Albany was all for nothing. It was very sad and poignant that in many cases people take risks and people die for something that turns out to have no meaning at all. A nice counterpoint to all of the real risks they have all taken before.
Ruth crying for Harry at the end....hopefully this is a good sign, but then again......?She looked pretty tough when he left to see Lucas - taking the role she implied he should have taken - I hope she lets her heart rule her head but its unlikely. My heart was in my mouth most of the time and was screaming at Harry at the the end not to jump too. How will he get out of this...and I have another big question, what happened in those 48 hours? Poor Harry is all alone - has he really not seen Ruth or the others? Sorry for rambling again - head is still buzzing
