Last week Lucas didn't want to know anything about her, and didn't want her on the team, and Harry is the one that decides to hire her. This week, as soon as Harry says he doesn't want her on the team, Lucas decides his first act as Section Chief will be to keep her on the team. I wonder what his motivation is? The suspicious part of me wonders if it is because he hopes Harry will focus on her possible untrustworthiness, and not cotton on to the fact that Lucas has something big to hide.

This was my thought, too. Lucas knows Harry is predisposed to mistrust Beth -- what better way to keep Harry's eyes off him and whatever he might be doing.
