Episode 1 Discussion

[Silktie]

I'm really glad that we got that scene with Malcolm and Ruth before he left. One of the things I was really looking forward to with Ruth's return was the interaction between Ruth and Malcolm. They were really good friends before she left. Oh well,at least they threw us a crumb before shocking us with Malcolm's retirement...

I also thought that Malcolm had spoken to Ruth before that last scene on the grid with Harry, as he says to Harry that Ruth is angry with him (Harry). He then tells Harry that he did the right thing, so hopefully he told Ruth that as well. Ruth probably values Malcolm's opinion more than most, so hearing it from him could help her to eventually forgive Harry.
