[spoilers] Episode 8 summary

[Tea Lady]

OK, while I admit it doesn't sound good re Lucas' future, considering the film news this morning, I would have thought news about his leaving would have leaked out by now. Everyone else who has left Spooks, has let the cat out of the bag, long before. Also, lets not forget that it is not impossible for RA to fit in filming both. The films will take two years. RA's part could be in 2012. We just don't know. Martin Freeman has already signed up for a new series of Sherlock which films next year. Surely that means he won't be in NZ for several months. On the other hand, Ruth seems to be acting like a Section Chief already, although if Harry chooses MI5 over her, I would struggle to see how she could work under Harry in any capacity.

As Ruth says, "At the moment, we have more questions that answers."

I guess, at the worst, this is going to be one hell of a final showdown. TV at its best, I have no doubt.
