Series 9 Episode 6 discussion

Just a few thoughts:

On the preview of the next episode, Harry sounds pissed that Ruth was spying on Lucas and deny the importance of the accusatory data she collected. Why? He appears to know more about what is going on than the rest of us AND he's not sharing with Ruth. Score for Ruth is a traitor theory?

On the other hand, Lucas appears to be unaware that Harry has his back. Could he being played by both sides? Maybe Harry knew that Lucas was a potential target because of his past and now Lucas is the proverbial cheese in the mousetrap. If that is the case, Lucas will go off the deep end.

I still don't buy Lucas betraying MI-5 because of a woman. All male section chiefs have been there, making the wrong decisions because of love, misguided or not (remember Adam with the wife of the Iranian diplomat? If Ross weren't there to cover his back...). Anyway, a bit of love-madness has always been allowed in Spooks but not outright betrayal. And it's not a persuasive argument for an agent who endured 8 years of torture and isolation.
