[spoilers] Sir Harry Pearce 2.0

[harrbd]

Very good points and when you look back at the episodes this series Harry makes various comments that seem to indicate the end for him. Starting with the first of course when he tells Ruth that he can't go on and wants to feel clean. Ruth tells him that he has to because somebody needs to make the decisions etc. Since then, as well as Ruth, he has lost Albany and Lucas (Alec said you can't save both and he saved neither in the end) so perhaps he has shown Ruth and himself that he is no longer the person to make the unemotional decisions. I think he did tell the HS because it was a way out for him and perhaps Ruth realised in the end that he really wanted out. When he was leaving to meet Lucas there may have been a part of her that knew that death would be a way out for him.

I really hope that Harry isn't going but as you say the two scenes on the roof (1st and last eps.) must have some sort of meaning. We can't have Spooks without Harry ! Perhaps he can become a special advisor or something.
