I both love and hate this episode. Hate it because of what happens to Ruth's family. Poor, poor Ruth. I love it because it brings Ruth back to the show, and we get to see a glimpse of her non-Spook side which is rapidly disappearing.

It annoys me a little that they forgot that Lucas had been shot just the day before. OK, so it wasn't a life threatening injury, but he'd still be in a bit of discomfort.

And of course the introduction of the wonderful wicked witch. Smile

I did think the fact that Lucas had been shot and struggled to walk at the end of 7.8, was completely forgotten by 8.1. Either that or he was on some brilliant pain-killers!
The contrast between Ruth's old life, all sunny and warm, and her MI5 life, wet, dreary and dark, was portrayed very well.
