[spoilers] Lucas. Just Lucas.

I agree, BravoNine. I KNOW I could act better than that with RA in front of me (is breathing required??) And I like your idea from the Numb3rs storyline too - something like that could partially redeem Lucas (are you listening Kudos writers???)

As HellsBells mentioned, the story could've worked if we had a new character called John Bateman who first appeared in S9 but who's goal was to betray the Grid through his link to Vaughan. What doesn't work is how they tried to smash this into Lucas's already-built character. From a writing perspective, IT DOESN'T WORK. From a Spooks fan's perspective, it was cruel.
