Series 10 - Episode 6 Discussion

[Silktie]

Thinking back over season 10, there are quite a few questions remaining for me.

Why did Ilya specifically ask for Harry to be involved? Did he want to rub his perfect life in the man's face who got his wife to spy on him?

Why did Elena go through the whole elaborate charade of pretending that someone pretending to be Harry was contacting her? Surely there was a much simpler way to scupper the talks.

What was the aim of the fake assassination attempt on Ilya?
