Yeah, I have betrayed my own Golden Rule of S10: Don't over-analyze it. Just enjoy it! with that one. Old habits die hard. I didn't hate the whole thing. I didn't even hate it. I just thought the writing for the character of Johnny Grier could have been cleaner.

And we have Gavrik, the oligarch. Perhaps this agreement between Russia and Britain that Towers is so keen on, is less about geopolitical issues, and more about business deals?

Ain't it always? As they say, Money makes the world go 'round. Whether or not it should. Your theory makes perfect sense to me. Ties it all together too. But why Harry by request? How does Coaver and the CIA factor into this? And Elena? These are rhetorical questions. My personal 2nd Commandment for S10 is, Don't speculate too much.
