Now he is covered in blood again with Lucas, and Ruth, well, she seems to be as distant as ever. Surely Harry would just pack it all in, and leave before he was pushed. Why fight? What is he fighting for?

I could only see Harry having the strength to fight this investigation if Ruth is by his side, which means that something had to happen between them in those missing 48hrs.

I agree, it's going to be a tough fight for him and after what's happened in S9 and 8 Harry just might not have the strength or will to put up a fight. He didn't exactly disagree when he was told there would be an investigation, he just took it like he knew this was always going to end badly, so will he just lay down a retire now? He's been on the verge of retiring 2 or 3 times now, is this the final straw for him?
I can only see him fighting if he has someone behind him, someone being Ruth, if Harry left I can't see Ruth really sticking around either,
When Harry asked Ruth in S8 if Jo was the only reason she came back it seemed obvious to me Jo wasn't the only reason, but Harry was part of her reason to return, if he left would she have anything left to stay for?

*Screams* It always comes back to "What happened in that 48 hours?" and I get the feeling it was something to do with Harry returning to the Grid and the team realising he was alive and Lucas was gone, I agree something had to happen in that 48 hours that's going to make Harry put up a fight to keep his job and I think it may be something involving Ruth, if he was even thinking of quiting, Ruth would probably be the only person he'd listen to
