Were Ruth's tears and the freezed poses/shock of the Alpha team for the loss of Lucas or for the suspision Harry is dead? Did Harry have coms on or not, would they have heard "shoot me now" and assumed he was a gonna? Or, having found that the bomb was a dud they believed Harry was a gonna because there was no bargaining tool and thus eliminating any chance Harry would talk him down?

Did Harry go back to the grid before the HS phone call?

I always took that as Ruth fearing over Harry rather than her crying over Lucas, they all suspected Lucas was going to either run away or die, but then the tables turned and it was Harry's life on the line. I dont know if there were any coms either, Harry said he needed to go alone that could have meant he had no coms, I think Ruth in particular was crying over Harry and she was terrfied Lucas might have pulled the trigger.

I don't think he went back to The Grid before that call either

I don't think this compares to other Spooks finales, over all as a final Ep is wasn't brilliant at all, but the performences were brilliant, Rich Armitage , Peter Firth and Nicola Walker were fantastic, but the storyline I have to say was a little to cliche and predictable, just before an answer was revealed I gussed what it was going to be , never a good thing .

I have to say though one of my favourite scenes was the Lucas/Ruth exchange, Ruth trying to play mind games to make him let her go...great acting,

Maybe its been going for too long, can anyone else see Series 10 as being the last?
