We then get a typical PF "Harry" moment when he says, ever so drily, "How helpful of you" with a slight roll of the eyes. Ha! That cracks me up every time. You can just see Harry thinking "Fool boy is smarter than I thought. Oh well, onto plan B".

Quite brave of Dimitri I thought. There was no hesitation there. He really does not seem intimidated by Harry. He also was the first to realise what Harry was trying to say when he had to own up to the team about his feelings for Ruth.

I always thought Dimitri, once he trained up and become more experienced, would make a good section chief one day. He's not intimidated by higher powers, he's steadfast, not to afraid to challenge authority in question. Harry could sure use a man of Dimitri's personality to run his crew for once.

Sounds a lot like SHP to me! Harry and Dimitri have one other very big thing in common, they both come from a military background. Very different branches of course, but military none the less. They were both head-hunted for the job too. I think one of my S10 wishes will be development of that dynamic.
