Ruth is someone who will tell him if he's going wrong, who can change his mind, who Harry can respect, so we do currently have an equal for Harry.

... Sorry for the slight rant. But that is one of the many reasons why I love HR...

I do agree with that; but I loved the harking back to older traditions in spying, the Cold War era etc, which Malcolm and Connie supplied. It's a link to the past of MI5 that Harry is part of and Ruth doesn't fit that age group. Believe me, I am in no way trying to demean her relationship with Harry, I am a way big shipper! I love her in her own right and she does a damn good job of course!
