Series 9 Episode 3 discussion

OK - my feelings on this episode are mixed:
*To me the episode felt a bit like -call from Maya-run around with Russians-kissing Maya.
*I didn't feel the tension much throughout the episode as it felt a bit predictable imo - you just knew that Viktor wasn't there to really help MI5.
*Also, why does Beth get to do everything? Don't get me wrong, I like her character, but my goodness I think Dimitri can do a bit more than watch the stairs and drive the car! I hope there is more to come for Dimitri.
*Maya caved in a bit too quickly for my liking - I mean I know Lucas/John is good looking but ummmm 15 years...please - And I'm sorry Lucas/John who were you thinking of everyday in prison Elizaveta or Maya....
*I don't believe an agent would live in a house which appears to have floor to wall windows - not very secure and provides an easy shot!

Things I did like:
HS interview on TV - He was the "perfect" politician and brilliantly played!
The final scene btwn Harry & Ruth and his line about (paraphrasing) getting to know him better
Lucas' line to Viktor that he already told the newbie the way things work
Lucas' light blue shirt with Blake tattoo peaking through slightly and the kiss - I know I stated earlier that Maya caved to easily but he had me at "Close..."()
