I think that was the reason she let him go alone to meet Lucas. I think she was still angry with him and was sort of saying to Harry, you go and put this right now.

I agree. She can't fight his battles for him. She knows this because he told her this in an earlier episode. He can't fight hers either. She tells him that just before he leaves to meet with Lucas.

We see her cry when Tom disappears in 2.8 (?). A very similar situation actually. Tom is thought to have drowned and Harry has been shot. Her tears in both situations are rather ambiguous for me. I think her tears here are not only about Harry but about Lucas too. Or at least what Lucas became and how close she could be to becoming that too.
