After being blamed for the escape of terrorist Adem Qasim, Harry meets Erin Watts (who has been undercover in Qasim's organization) at Ruth's grave where he cleans up some dead flowers on her tombstone. MI5 leaders who are trying to have Harry found after his alleged death by suicide believe he may have gone rogue as a result of his grief over Ruth's death, an event which had apparently made him colder and more reliant on drink. Later, in Berlin, when Will Halloway asks Harry why he doesn't just disappear and leave the Service to handle itself, Harry says that he won't let people who sacrificed themselves for it, such as Ruth, down by simply walking away.
