That kind of breaks with canonical Ruth knowledge though. Ruth never learned Mandarin. Maybe while on Cyprus? Because that's where we all go to learn it.

Perhaps Ruth did an away day. First half of the day was how to become an expert on Russia. The second half of the day was teaching her to become fluent in Mandarin.

Hahaha! You two are cracking me up!

Series 9.4 Spoiler: show

And finished her knitting during the luncheon break, eh, TL? Is there nothing Ruth can't do? NW's Wylie interview does say that Ruth is crap at combat. So clearly she can't throw a punch. That's something!

I also hope they show some sort of HR fall out re: Ruth in the field and, according to the 9.4 trailer, her apparrant involvement in an explosion. It wouldn't make sense to me if they didn't address it even just a little bit given the theme embodied in their interactions: everything they go through and do makes them have to revisit and redefine the nature of their personal relationship.
