[spoilers] Wonderful ways to bring characters back

[almh]

What anagram? Please tell me...

My idea... I think I've got everyone...

Colin and Malcolm were parts of the same person in two separate bodies, Malcolm being the shyer half, and Colin the more outgoing and flirtatious, so when Colin died his essence returned back to Malcolm, and so he lives on within Malcolm, so therefore isn't dead. They divided into two different people all because of a dodgy deal with Tessa which occurred before she got fired.

Harry didn't really get captured by the Russians, his capture (and the bit before hand) was faked by Tom, Fiona, Connie and Adam, with Danny taking control of the situation.

Danny survived because what we didn't know was that the guy who captured him and Fiona was gay, and fancied Danny so that was the only real reason he captured them. He shot Danny with a bullet which only hits the skin, administering a sedative, and releasing lots of blood. Danny later woke up, perfectly fine, and had finally got over Zoe, and had a perfectly normal relationship with the guy, until he heard that Ruth was no longer on the Grid. Being the sentimental sort he decided to bring Tom in (because Tom had returned from his holiday and found he had nothing to do, so just tagged along,) and Adam (who had survived the explosion by clicking his heels three times and then tele-porting to a safe location in the nick of time. He joined in because he was also feeling romantic, having discovered that the Fiona was perfectly fine and had had only pretended to be dead to make sure that her other husband (who shot her) would not go looking for her, nor any of his friends,) to try and set Harry and Ruth up so that they could be together.

Zoe, meanwhile, had been living in Chile, and met up with Danny, Tom, Fiona and Adam as they passed through Chile on their way to help Harry. She couldn't be bothered to join in, and just sat at home. She did manage to remember Sam's number, and texted her to let her know Danny was alive.

As three of them were meant to be dead, they travelled through the underground disused tunnels, where they found Connie, slightly winded from the explosion. After a bit of TLC she was fine, and was coerced to join in the plan by the other four.

Without Harry's permission, they kidnapped him, and knocked him unconscious, then took him to Ruth's new home and placed inside. Using some (borrowed, or as Malcolm would tell them, stolen,) bugs they recorded the reunion between the two, although later wished they hadn't as it got too steamy for their liking. In their great plan of things, they did forget to tell Ros, Jo, Malcolm and Lucas, who duly decided that appropriate revenge would be to lock them all in a room together... with the MI5 in-house pyschologist. Only one survived...

Meanwhile, Zaf managed to karate-kick his captors and get out, leaving behind a body that would later be falsely labelled as his. He escaped to the wilderness, where he found Helen Flynn (remember her?) hiding because her skin grafts didn't look altogether that good. Zaf hid with her, as he didn't exactly look like Prince Charming either, and they became good friends.

And as for Ben? Well, Ben had a very thick neck, and a bit of blood to spare anyway, so he was fine.
