Series 9.8 Spoiler: show

NW said in an interview that we've never seen Harry so affected by events as we'll see him in 9.8. And the phone messages to his son and daughter?! Geez, you might as well hand me a tissue now. All this indicates to me that Harry is not involved in any way in creating this situation Lucas finds himself in.

Series 9.8 Spoiler: show

I don't think Harry has ever been in a situation as hard as what he has to face now. This isn't just a mission or duty anymore, this is about the two closest people in his life: the woman he loves and the young man that he sweated blood to bring home. Two people that he feels deeply responsible for and right now neither of them may even come home safely and no matter how things end, someone will get hurt in the end. He knows this won't end in a happy ending and it's killing him. He loves Ruth more than anything, he needs her, he would be lost without her. And then there's Lucas, his prodigy, a son to him, someone he trusted maybe not with his head but always in his heart. And to see it all come to this, to see Ruth in danger, to see Lucas becoming this monster. It's more worse than any danger or loss he has ever suffered

I don't envy Harry or the decision that he will have to make.
