Wow - there are so many holes that need to be filled and I hope they do.

My two cents:

I'm pretty sure Lucas/John was brainwashed/a sleeper, he probably is Albany and the suitcase was some kind of trigger. Maya's photo and all the other stuff in it...all triggers for different parts of John's past, implanted by...Vaughn?

Maya is probably an agent as well. In 15 years she hasn't found another guy to marry, but is in a relationship with Vaughn - of all men? He and Lucas/John are very different types, so this seems highly unlikely. And in order for the plot to work, Maya had to be easily detachable from her current partner. A happily married woman (with children maybe) probably wouldn't have wandered off with a guy she hasn't heard from in 15 years so easily...even if it is RA. We haven't really learned a lot about her, except for the photo and tapas bar story. And Lucas after 15 years (and a marriage to another woman) just remembers her by a photo and thinks "Ah, yes - Maya! Let's give up everything for her." That picture was a trigger as well, I tell you.
Maya must have been "planted" in order to keep John/Lucas in check and as leverage if needed.

I sure hope this is true, then at least this storyline can make some sense, because right now Maya and this great love between Lucas/Maya is just way too ridiculous!

And let's talk about Maya, one of the most useless characters I have ever seen, other than being the rope that Lucas is supposedly hanging himself with. Her character possess nothing that I find lovable. She is wimpy, and clearly exhibiting all signs of stupidity because of course anyone would totally just fall back in love suddenly with a man who abandoned you for 15 years, and then when this man starts running around with guns, you just do whatever he says. Unless Maya is dumber than a bag of rocks, oh wait, that would insulting rocks everywhere.....surely there has to be more to this character than just being a plot device for Lucas to go crazy for.

Maya has no personality at all, at least Elizabeta and even Sarah Caulfield had some history or passion with Lucas, Maya is like watching paint dry.....oh wait, it's worse than watching paint dry....
