And if the team cannot trust Harry then this team cannot function the way it should.

One can of course also argue that this goes both ways. Does someone who lies and deceives (think Beth in 9.2) the rest of the team have the right to judge her team leader when he does the same?

Also, I think context is important. We tend to forget that Harry did have a plan to save Ruth and to get Albany back from Lucas at the hotel. But Lucas saw through the plan and it backfired. Beth and Dimitri knows it was not just a plain swap with no intention to get Albany back.

While Beth and Dimitri might not be particularly happy with Harry's actions, they may on some level be grudgingly impressed with the way the old-timer got one over on them. It's nice to see those field officer skills are still in working order with him.
