[Spoilers] Sir Harry Pearce

[Silktie]

Harry also seems to have come some way in his relationship with Smart Boy. In Tariq's first episode, he blatantly ignores him and doesn't even speak to him. Now, he calls him a wonder boy, and looks on proudly as Tariq dazzles the rest of the team with his geekiness in the briefing. He also gently teases him with the 'cometh the hour, cometh the geek' line. Perhaps he initially felt some misplaced anger towards Tariq for replacing his old friend Malcolm, which he overcame once Tariq had proven himself.
