[Onion Terror]

Glad someone else picked up on this too-wasn't sure if I was imagining things until I read this, and had a re-watch. Wasn't too sure what to make of this ep at first, but I enjoyed it more after a 2nd viewing. One thing that surprised me was Ruths lack of reaction when the HS was so disinterested and non-commital about bringing the daughter to the UK. I half expected her to be upset at him being so disinterested and that this would put her off his job offer, but evidently not. Very magnanimous of Harry to suggest she accept the job even though he clearly wants & needs her to stay, though.

BTW, am I alone in thinking that this episode was reminiscent of episode 4.6? Young Muslim guy is sent to prison, where he meets some extremists and is coerced into carrying out a terrorist act on his release. Feeling betrayed by the British justice system, and desperate to protect his family, he agrees to go through with it.
