[spoilers] Harry and Ruth Strike Back

[picard1109]

I've always had a problem with the Harry/Ruth sub-plot... Harry is a senior manager in the Security Service and would be well aware of rules against fraternising with his team. [For the same reason, I always had a problem with Adam and his wife both working in Section D...]

So, if H/R were to be plausible, one of them would have to leave Section D...and it wouldn't be Harry. He couldn't possibly leave himself open to charges of sexual harassment and potential blackmail, should they split up. Yes, I know it's a TV show and, given that we have to totally suspend disbelief for most of the rest of it, having Harry knocking off one of his team isn't the biggest leap of imagination...but it has never really rung true for me.
