Episode 7.1 [Re-watch]

[kmac82]

Quote:Harry is really simply not emotionally forthright, and never has been, and Lucas needs him to be in that moment. Lucas seems to really need Harry's approval or apology or sympathy or something. Not sure what but he seems to be on the defensive to me, almost like an impertinent child. Then there is the promise of "the proper talk." Who else has Harry ever done that for? No one. It remains to be seen if the work will allow them that talk. Their work always gets in the way.

You know, I'd never carried Harry's lack of emotional forthrightness over into his relationship with Lucas, but that's so true. He has no idea how to handle Lucas. He's friendly, but almost coldly distant. Maybe he's burdened with both guilt as well as skepticism?

Of course, if Harry were any more emotionally forthright, he'd be a a pretty poor Section Head as well as spy...
