[Tea Lady]

What I find surprising is that they didn't kill Elena back in the day, after she'd had her use. She wasn't a complete secret as the CIA man (can't remember his name) knew all about her. Instead of "burning" her why didn't she meet with an accident? If the Russians discovered she was a double agent, the intelligence Harry obtained from her would probably have been useless. I'm just surprised they kept her alive. Maybe, her having Harry's child, was her insurance policy.

Yes, I agree Silktie that Elena is being used here. But if they are trying to throw Harry off the scent, get him out of the way, why did Gavrik practically save him from being sacked? The FSB could have had Harry out of the way by not asking the Home Secretary for him.

As for Towers, yes he was very sharp with Harry. I think the writers may have pushed the character a bit too far the other way.

I think the Tom thing is a red-herring. They wouldn't be so obvious would they........
