Moscow Rules Part V

[A Cousin]

Yes, it's a glorious day for it! Don't mess with Sir Harry!

But you still have some explaining to do. How does Towers fit into it all? Did he know from the beginning or did he only find out who the couple really were and what Elana's real motive was when Ruth called him? Did he help with Harry's plan to "poison" Medvedev's food? Was that the dead drop he passed through Mavis?

The mind games in this are spectacular! That moment when Harry confronts Ruth about her BND request reminds me of the moment in 4.10 when she and Adam confront him about the Contingency Committee when he just waits for her to figure it out on her own. It's those moments that really show how well matched they are intellectually.

And yet you still manage to get some sweetness into it with "She had stormed in late, looking beautiful and elegant, and he had forgotten to admonish her for her tardiness." Aaaaawwwwww...!
