[spoilers] Sir Harry Pearce 2.0

[Silktie]

You raise some good ideas, TL. What we must also remember, is that all the mayhem in 9.8 took place over a few hours at most - remember Lucas told Harry that Ruth would die in three hours' time to allow him to get away with Maya. So I'm not sure Harry was thinking very clearly or long-term about his career prospects in the midst of all that. I'm going to attribute his confession to the HS as Harry being his moral self, and taking responsibility for his choices no matter what the cost.

It's also another interesting contrast between Harry and Lucas - Lucas never took responsibility for his actions, instead heaping deceit upon deceit to cover things up. That cost him in the end, as he left himself with no way out. Can we perhaps take heart from the fact that Harry chose a different path, and that the outcome will therefore be different in that his career can be saved somehow?
