I felt he was possibly reflecting on his decision to let George die. I also felt that there was some regret there, maybe, that he didn't go to Ruth, after she left.

Sorry, moving into the H/R thread here, but most of this week seemed to concentrate on Harry's attempts to rationalise in his head what happened in 8.1 and how he let the person he most loves down, when they really needed him. Levi had a second chance with his daughter at the end. Will Harry get a second chance?

I also thought of Lucas. I mean, Harry did leave Lucas in a Russian jail for 8 years, whether it was his choice or not, perhaps a part of him is seeing the similarities in that Anna didn't forgive her father for leaving her to be tortured the same way that Lucas never really forgave Harry for leaving him behind in Moscow. I mean, Harry is sort of the papa-figure for the team and to Lucas, maybe Harry telling Levi that Anna will forgive him is parallel to him and Lucas finally coming to "trust" each other and be close once again. He and Lucas had a second chance, so Levi and Anna will too.

Clearly hugging is not one of Harry's forte!

I think so too! Harry is letting his little boy have the chance to prove himself to be a big boy now!
