Episode 1 was my favorite because it was before all this Lucas/Vaughn/Maya thing ever started. This was the team doing the jobs they were chosen for, this was Lucas stepping into the role of the leader and taking care of his people. This was the way the team should have been!

Episode 6 came as my second favorite because despite the cloud of the dreadful Lucas/Vaughn/Maya storyline, this was true Spooks to its core! It was the first time this series I saw this new team operating like a true team! I love seeing them all working together with the Grid on lockdown and Lucas out there on his own trying to survive and do his job! It did hit all the right notes in terms of the teamwork of our beloved Spooks team!

Episode 5 also had the lucky chance to escape the hideous mess of Lucas's life storylines, and it came as my number 3 favorite because once again it was the team operating the way it should be, trusting each other, doing their jobs, and saving the day! Lucas was the leader they needed him to be, he came through, the team came through, and day was saved!

Episode 7 and 8 while are the most amazing in terms of acting performances and excitement level no doubt, were a mess of epic proportions to me. This is where Lucas's character went completely downhill and destroyed everything I've ever believed in Spooks. So yes, these two episodes will stay on the low end of this list.
