To be honest, I think we got glimpses in the last episode of the new Ros attitude to Harry. She knows that having Ruth around can only help him, and that he is better for a "resolved" situation with her. I do think that there could be some tension when they disagree. But it would be wrong I think to suggest that this Ros is exactly the same as Ros when Ruth left.

Agreed. I've never been a huge Ros fan, but I really liked her in this episode. She didn't think Harry was handling things correctly, but never openly countermanded his instructions. She understood what he was going through and tried to accommodate him as much as possible. Also, I think she will be much more sympathetic towards Ruth than we would expect, judging from her reaction at the end of episode 1 when Harry tells the team that Ruth just told the kid his father was dead. She looked really sad about what Ruth went through.
