Harry is being blackmailed by the newly returned from America, Juliet. He goes to the Home Sec. and tenders his resignation. When the HS asks him why, Harry says "During the 1970's I was involved in an highly secret operation called OMEGA."

HS: "I know about OMEGA. Terrorist atrocities were staged in Europe to encourage a harder line against Left Wing groups."

Harry: "It originated in American Military Intelligence, but I sanctioned an operation against a West German* politician who was seen as being soft on Communism. Lives were lost and I covered it up."

HS: "... you sanctioned it?"

Harry: "Yes. I placed my trust in a ROGUE AGENT who proved to be highly unstable."

Now, Lucas is too young to have been an agent in the late 1970's, he'd barely be out of his nappies! However, what about Vaughn?

*Koln/Cologne was part of West Germany prior to unification.

Good going. I hope the writers remember that. It would have to be something relevant now for Vaughn or his employers since Harry has buried it. Perhaps they want to

Spoiler: show

blackmail Harry for some nefarious end. It still wouldn't tell us Lucas'/John's secret.
