Ruth in this Series

[Silktie]

Me too! I think it worked so well because the developing romance between Harry and Ruth was handled in such an understated manner. I have to admit that the way Tom's liaisons used to dominate the storylines began to grate for me during season 2. I mean we got it after Ellie that spies find it hard to have a normal relationship! Did we really need the psycho doctor and CIA girl as well? But with Ruth and Harry it was so wonderfully handled, that you almost only realised the depth of their feelings for each other when both tried to sacrifice themselves for the other.

And who can resist Harry in 'knight in shining armour' mode? That scene between him and Mace was wonderfully played by both actors. As, of course, was the final scene between Ruth and Harry. So bittersweet.
