I think the reason he changed his mind is because he realised simply that he belongs as head of Section D and that no one else could do any better. Those nine people would have died whoever was sitting on that "wall." But...also that he can't live without Ruth in his life, and doesn't want to. If he retired, he would never see Ruth again and that really was not an option for him, once he calmed down over losing Ros.

He tried to push Ruth away in this episode, but it didn't work. He needed her and still needs her, to be able to put one foot in front of the other.
