[spoilers] Harry and Ruth. The Wonder Years.

[A Cousin]

I had always thought that Lucas cottoned onto the nature of the H/R relationship at the very end of 8.1 when Harry is thanking the team for saving them. Look at the way Lucas is peering at Harry when Harry sharply says, "She is home."

As for all the other characters, I agree that some "get it" more than others. I don't think it is required that they understand that Ruth and Harry love each other, just that they understand that the relationship is more profound and runs deeper than what would normally be expected.

Byatil - I envy you! Such wonderful things to discover! I encourage you to find a way to watch all of Spooks in order from the beginning. There is an on-going theme that, even though they are spys and trained to notice things, they can be utter crap at coming to terms with issues in their personal lives.

She's has seen Harry be ruthless many times. I think she is beginning to understand how ruthless she can be and that scares her more. It is when Harry is being conflicted and uncertain that she is thrown by him.

This is an interesting observation to me. Ruth does not answer his question either. It remains to be seen how she is going to react to it all.
