To me it showed that there is still a lot of unresolved trust issues for Harry with Lucas. And Lucas can probably sense that, hence his lying awake thinking about Harry when he's in bed with Nancy Drew. It also explains why Harry lied without blinking an eye when Lucas asked him about the meeting in Basel. It seems Harry really trusts noone except Ruth...

I think Ruth really is the only person on the Grid he trusts. Tariq is new, Lucas was tortured by the Russians for 8 years and could easily be a double agent, and perhaps Harry doesn't quite fully trust Ros, perhaps because of Yalta, I don't know. But Ruth he definitely trusts - perhaps that is intricately linked with that he loves Ruth, or maybe it's just because she is so reliable and so resourceful. He used to have Malcolm too, but of course he retired...

Lucas and Harry definitely have some trust issues, but who can really blame them? Neither know quite where they stand yet.
