The phone call scene was just enough for me, but, structurally in the big picture of the Beth oriented plot of the episode, I thought it was a clever idea but a bit clunky. It was there as an excuse for Beth to overhear Ruth's suspicions and to get her fingerprint.

The handshake with Lucas seems to me like Harry was waiting for Lucas to step up and take control and ownership of being team leader. Not sure Harry is a convinced, but he seemed proud of Lucas for taking control. You can say a lot about Harry, but he is not a micro-manager.

All I kept thinking as Beth got Ruth's fingerprint off the glass, is see what happens when you don't clean up after yourself? And was that shootout with Beth and Chapman in Ruth's flat?! She must be doubly thrilled with Lucas for saddling her with the roommate now...

Interesting interpretation of the Harry/Lucas scene, A Cousin. I like that view of things. Let's hope Lucas doesn't bugger it up by not coming clean about his past before it's too late.
