Why this must be read:
If Spooks 3x02 ended with Tom Quinn striding dramatically out of Thames House for the last time, this story begins with the other side of the equation, the one we didn’t see, where everyone in section D scratched their heads and wondered what on earth just happened.
In this story, Ruth is assigned to monitor surveillance on Tom after his departure from MI-5. Elishavah acknowledges and makes use of the sheer weirdness of Ruth being called upon to spy on her ex-teammate, as Ruth goes through the process of examining her own feelings about having drunk the MI-5 Kool-Aid. We also get glimpses of Tom in his new life and wonder, as Ruth does, who is the real Tom Quinn.
“In any case, there's a standard procedure for this sort of thing. There are both general and specific steps of Track, Watch, and Report that are...not all that pleasant to think about. Few will die in the line of duty, after all, but they could all find themselves at the edge, staring out over their choices and thinking, Jumping makes so much more sense than this.”
