Up to this point Ruth seemed to have almost a hero worship for Tom, but during this episode she seems to be gradually shifting those feelings onto Harry. He is now the first one she runs to with every new piece of information, and of course it didn't help that Tom shouted at her unnecessarily during the operation. We also see Harry almost amused as well as bemused with Ruth storming into his office at regular intervals, but he certainly doesn't seem to mind it that much.

That's a good point Silktie. I think that Ruth was idolizing Tom a little too much. Even when she found out about the mole she still went to tell Tom first and not Harry. Perhaps she was a little scared of telling Harry maybe, perhaps because of what Ruth did in the past with passing on information. Even though Harry made his point to Ruth about bursting in, he really didnt protest too much. Also by now Harry should realise that if Ruth does burst in, she always has something important to tell him. She isnt bursting in to talk about the weather. Ruth still seems quite nervous around Harry though.
