I wonder if Harry sees Ruth as his redemption for the morally questionable things he has done in his past? I also wonder, if this is the case, if Ruth is holding him off because she thinks he loves her for what she represents to him and not necessarily what she is? I wonder if Ruth thinks he is love with the idea of her and not actually her. It is a lot of pressure to have the happiness of another human being solely in your hands. Not quite as much pressure as having the deaths of millions of people by genetic weapon on your head, but a parallel responsibility on a personal level?

I think I'm probably rambling now, so Harry needs Ruth to make him a "good" man, to give him soul? Ruth is happy playing this part in his life which is why she was so disappointed when he fell apart a little at the start of S9 and when he gave up Albany? Now she knows Albany is fake does she want to go back to being useful from a distance? I think we are going to see an awful lot of Ruth in S10.

This has probably been mentioned before (sorry I'm tired) but do you think they would stick Ruth in Harry's job on a temp basis while he is investigated? She's a desk officer, and more senior than the other officers? Can you imagine Ruth having to sit at Harry's desk? Angst ahoy !!

Anyway, my 3 nephews love Spooks and they certainly do not watch it for the H/R fluff/angst. Mr TL certainly doesn't watch it for H/R either.
