[spoilers] Harry and Ruth Strike Back

[Naivety]

The script writers had to do something to keep the angst going, because that is what hooks us all into the H/R relationship. If they had gone down the 'yes' option then critics of the show would have said the show had gone fluffy. But similarly if they hadn't moved it on a notch then it would have become monotonous and stale. By declaring Harry's feelings we are now in no doubt how they feel about each other, but they keep the 'will they/won't they' suspense going. Here we all are, still wondering if they are going to progress. I think they will.

Two things I find intriguing:
1. Who said anything about cosy suburban bungalows in Sussex? How come they couldn't get married and continue working for MI5?
2. Putting Beth as a flatmate for Ruth has to be a something to do with future scripts, otherwise what's the point?
