And why did they link Harry to Dhakar and the bombings? What Lucus/Vaughn did would have stood alone, the Harry link wasn't necessary. Could it be that:

Series 10 Spoiler: show

The FSB learned that Albany was fake and wanted that exposing, shafting the Chinese in the process but also getting revenge on Harry by setting him up to give it away? There still has to be more milage with Lucas/the Russians/the puppet masters of the bombings. Perhaps the puppet masters are /were British and significant people to HArry which is why he doesn't know who to trust.

And why, oh why is HArry telling Ruth he doesn't know who to trust anymore? Surely he isn't including her? Has she let him down?

I think the trailer is from the first or second episodes though, not sure the others would be ready yet?

I don't find the linking of Harry to Dakar and the bombing a problem. It was the British Embassy that was bombed, and the embassies are considered British territory. As such the security of the embassies will fall under MI5, just as the security of the country proper is their responsibility.

That said, I don't expect to see any other fall-out from the season 9 storyline apart from the emotional impact on the characters and the Inquiry.

And the fact that Harry has nothing to feel guilty about re Lucas, does not mean that he won't. I think it would be human in such circumstances to wonder whether you should have noticed something was wrong with the guy earlier. Or even to feel that you should have noticed when he first started working for you that he's not who he says he is. But more than anything else, I can see the events of season 9 making Harry doubt his own judgement of the people around him, hence that line in the trailer.

But yeah, I agree it's more probable that it will be linked to the season 10 storyline, whatever it may be.
