I guess we could always take the attitude of the random blog poster who claimed that real Lucas was off in a black hole in series nine somewhere whilst the cypher John took over for him in nine. Lucas' storyline is never over because he is in an abyss somewhere of incomplete limbo waiting for the writers or someone to remember him. This works well if you have read Jasper Fforde and The Well of Lost Plots.

See, the way I can do to salvage the mess that is Series 9, is if in Series 10 they discover that the bad guys (Russians or Chinese or whatever) had actually been using mind-control or brain-washed Lucas into doing all that stuff, and actually he wasn't responsible as he was locked away in his own mind.

I would say that Russians or others brainwashed Lucas or planted some subconscious personality in him during his 8 year torture and then Vaughn was sent to release it and wreck havoc for MI5 and Harry's team, this was all some revenge plot against Harry and to decimate the team.

And then we can have the team find all this out and for Lucas to finally get the proper burial/tribute that he deserves because he was never responsible for what happened, he was used by the bad guys and had no control.

At least that would somehow salvage Series 9's mess and would make some sense of why Lucas and John are polar opposites.
