Series 9 Episode 6 discussion

[Tea Lady]

Three major questions need answering for me, after this super little episode.

1) Was that really Malcolms mother or was she MI5?
2) Did Lucas run over Malcolm's cat at the end? As he pulled up in front of the house at the end, a white cat ran out. It didn't appear from under Lucas' wheels. Now I know Lucas is quite happy killing Americans but to kill a cat, really is out of order *pens letter to Kudos*
3) Where did Malcolm get his jumper? It was lovely.

I think Lucas is in the **** to be honest. Whether he is being set up or what, he has let someone die. You can't go back on that. You can reverse the officer who got sent to prison, but not that.

I honestly believe Malcolm knew something wasn't right as soon as Lucas turned up by the look on his face when Lucas said Albany. My guess would be that Harry gave it to Malcolm and said if anyone comes looking for Albany other than me, we are in trouble, and give them the fake package. Malcolm had his mother there so had to act like it was all real. As soon as he handed over the fake package, Malcolm got out of there before Lucas discovered it. Malcolm will then probably hand the real file over to Harry.

I think Malcolm calling Lucas, John, was just supposed to catch us out for a moment. I don't think Malcolm knows anything.

Loved Tariq in this episode and I really believed he was having a temper tantrum. Also loved Dimitri calling Ruth, "Evershed." Ha ha...

I wonder who is going to pay to repair the Grid now, with all the budget cuts? Can't explain that one away as "MICE."
