To say that it's totally 'unjustifiable' or 'any old tosh' or 'the writers thinking us stupid' is not realy a justifyable claim until after we see their conclusion. You never know you may regret all this bashing.

The writers know what they're doing, they'll be having a pretty good go at tying it up in the next ep and possibly 10.1.

Also i think it's worth pointing out that they've done this before to characters. Look at Connie James for example. We all believed she was good until she killed Ben. You just can't believe what they say about anyone in this show... ever. (Yes that includes Harry, Ruth, Dimitri, Beth, Malcolm and Tariq).

Exactly, which is why I and every one I know who watches Spooks, loves it. We really don't ever feel confident in any character surviving for long or remaining loyal and it keeps us gripped. During this episode I sat back and admired RA's ability to have me loving and then hating him within a few minutes. He was awesome! If he wanted to leave the show but didn't, as I understand it, want an average exit, i.e being blown up or sneaking off acrosss the back of the cemetery after his own funeral, they couldn't have come up with a better twist to enable him to show off his immense acting skills.
