[spoilers] Lucas. Just Lucas.

I have never had a further question about him since the episode where he went back to Russia to help clear Harry who was being accused of treason.

What more loyalty (and I felt some sort of affection for Harry) could Lucas show than to have the courage to go back to Russia to save Harry when there was a good chance he could be picked up and end up back in a Russian prison again. It would have been a terrifying experience and you could see how nervous Lucas was in the taxi ride from the airport. Lucas took the biggest risk of anyone to save Harry and that was not the action of a traitor.

I totally agree!
During season 7 and 8 there were quite a number of occasions when he proved his loyalty, but really the most outstanding one was him returning to Russia in order to save Harry.
Lucas as a traitor or as someone who's dishonest, ruthless and evil makes no sense whatsoever when you look at the way he behaved in the previous series. I only hope the writers of series 9 bothered to watch Spooks 7 and 8 to do some character studies in preparation for their job.
