Anybody else pick up on Ruth's family's names? George and Nico . . . Now I'm sure I'm reading too much into this but it is a little funny - NW named her baby Harry, right? But first they called him George. And Nico - NW first name shortened. ;D

I totally thought of that too! So funny. I wonder if they did that deliberately?

I was thinking about this yesterday - We (the audience) knows that Harry has been taken hostage in this ep - but with Ruth arrives in London on the run with her family - she doesn't. So - I'm wondering what could have been going through her head as she called Thames House. Was she wondering how she was going to explain her family to Harry? When the door to the safe house opened - do you thing she originally expected it to be Harry? The poor woman is all geared up to explain herself - and there's Malcolm instead!

Excellent point DC! What was going through her mind? I would love to see the script for 801. Obviously she wouldn't be there if Harry wasn't kidnapped but in an AU setting and if Harry came to the safe house..... 'Ruthie you got some splainin' to do!' (Ricky Ricardo reference if that is lost on some) I can't imagine the emotions she must have been going through all the time trying her best to stay calm with George while trying desperately not to reveal her fears once she found out about Harry! He was already angry for the honesty issue. For her to add, 'Well, to tell you the truth George, I've also hidden the fact that I've only ever truly loved one man and he is in danger and I need to help him now.' wouldn't have gone over very well. So and I'm pretty sure he wasn't mentioned I mean the the panic she must have felt for him (Harry) and not to show that! Ugh! I could see the pain and panic being masked in the scene where she's talking about them moving to another bigger house. NW is just so brilliant! *gushes* An amazing episode for her!

OK been thinking on this a bit but how long really was Ruth gone??? Now in real life it was 3 years for us. Yet the show in Spooks world it seems as though she really wasn't gone for a full 3 years or so. I think with the timing maybe only a few months passed between s5 to s6 maybe??? Now we know that a few months passed between s6 and 7 but not by much. s7 to s8 24hrs had passed if less. I think Ruth had been gone for maybe 12months to a year and a half if that. Not 3 years.

Good point! I've been thinking about that myself as well. I think we shouldn't look too closely at the timelines in Spooks, because I have a feeling that the writers don't seem to be too bothered about it. It does feel and seems like Ruth has been gone for years, but if you actually count the time that passes between the series it's always just a couple of months or even hours! But then again, we don't know how much time passes during the course of a series. Is it weeks, months, perhaps even more than that?

Good point! I've been thinking about that myself as well. I think we shouldn't look too closely at the timelines in Spooks Yes, I think the writers take all the literary license they need from one series to the next. But the actors seem to be a little bit more effected by the long months away. At the beginning of series 7 when Adam saw Ros for those few seconds, it seemed they had been separated for a long time. Was it six months? I'm starting to be confused between timelines from some wonderful fanfic and Spooks!

OK this is me taking an idea from this episode and trying to connect to s6. So Mani wants the uranium right. Well what if that is tied back to Iran with the trigger for the nuclear weapon from s6.
If I remember they were trying to build more weapons. So here is my thought. Maybe Mani was getting the uranium to sell to the those in Iran that wanted it to help them with their trigger. They never really finished that storyline really. So my thought is that Harry and Ruth met in s6 in Baghdad. (That almost goes with the fanfic Secrets w/the author close to putting them in Baghdad during that time)
Anyway though Ros and Adam lost the triggers I think this could be a connection to Mani and his crew. You need uranium to help with nuclear reactions. So I think Mani was trying to get this to help Iran with that weapon and so they could make others. It would be a huge payout or even if Mani took over the project or was in charge of it.
OK so that is me having fun trying to make a connection to which I bet even Kudos never would have made. ;D

Sounds credible, apart from the fact that series 6 was focused on Iran and in 8.1 it's about Iraq. I have a feeling that all of this happened a few years ago, perhaps not long after Ruth joined section D. Don't ask me why because I've no idea how to explain that, it's just a feeling.
But if you're right it would tie in nicely with the Secrets fanfic.

Yes good point but could they have joined forces? ? hmmmm....... Does it matter that Mani is from Iraq because he could be his own and try to either buy out Iran for their stuff or has their stuff and is now bringing it to Iraq??!!

Mani is ex-Indian intelligence, so he's not from Iraq.

Ahaha that's what you get when you try to find links that probably aren't there. The writers probably didn't even think about any of this

OK OK so The bit where Mani says that Harry and Ruth we being chase with each other. Harry says basically that Mani would never understand. If you look at Harry's expression and Ruth's at this it makes me wonder. Did something happen? Or did nothing happen yet both regret that nothing happened?? (once again thanks to the fanfic Secrets we have something )
