As for Ruth not being moved by the prospect of Harry dying, I think she had talked herself into a corner and couldn't stop Harry going, to sacrifice himself to stop the explosive device going off at London Bridge. She wanted to stop him. Her facial expression said this. She was very very close to tears I thought, when she told Dimitri not to follow him.

I think she was moved, but had forfeited her right to show it to Harry. How could she have rushed after Harry, declaring her love for him, when she had just told him that it was unfair of HIM to love her. I think Ruth was gutted by that turn of event. There is therefore rope for the writers to use there, to get a H/R moment, if they choose to use it.

THIS!
Couldn't have said it better!

It's strange, Ruth's character has just changed so quickly between S8 and 9, S8 she wasn't this depressed and dead inside Ruth we got in S9, and I much prefered Ruth in S8, so for S10 I too wouldn't be surprised if there was another turn


She definatly wanted to stop him, at one point she called after him,
and then he just replied with that "It's my turn" then she knew she couldn't stop him, she had let him go, She'd only contradict herself if she hadn't... she said he should never have given up Albany just to save her, how could she possibily tell him NOT to go if it could save peoples lives in the station (When they believed the bomb was real)

I'd still like to know what happened to Harry in that 48 hours, why miss it out and yet let us know that it happened? Something must've happened
And those tears, I still think Ruth was cry as much for Harry as she was for Lucas,
Beth, Demitri, Tariq, Alec and Ruth had all expected Lucas to kill Harry, and we don't know if they were told Lucas had died or not, if they found out someone had been killed without knowing who it is, it would easy for Ruth to jump to the conclusion that Lucas had shot Harry because that's what she was expecting,
