I'm not sure H letting L go talk to Sarah alone was about trust so much as it was about H allowing L to learn for himself the dangers of the relationship. I think H learned with Tom and Christine that getting all pissy and quoting the rules was the wrong way to handle the situation and he won't do that again. H knows Sarah is disastrous for L (and not just for operational reasons) but he also knows that L has to discover that on his own.

Can't say that I agree with this.There's no way Harry would allow Lucas to endager an operation purely to learn a lesson about the dangers of love. Also, his annoyance when the comms started to go seemed very real. I think he wanted to believe Lucas when he said that he could handle it, and expected him to play by the rules.

I don't know. Lucas has already not played by the rules any number of times up to this point. Would Harry really expect him to do so this time? It doesn't seem, to me anyway, how Lucas operates. And I don't think H was necessarily trying to get L to learn a lesson about love, but about Sarah.
