Aaaaaargh.. suspense is deein' ma heid in..

Lucas with no action? What is he gonna do? Sit on his buttocks and count sheep? Catch up on Coronation Street?

I wouldn't like a Russian sleeper agent plot either, especially since we have already seen Lucas in Moscow once when Harry sent him to find the Sugarhorse asset and all that. Clearly Lucas didn't want to be in Russia and he fought like hell with the bad guys to get out. Even the scenes where Lucas is alone, he clearly shows disdain and in a hurry to get away from the Russians, it just wouldn't fit with what they had written about Lucas for him to side with the Russians.

What I really want is for Harry and Lucas to have a big confrontation. Finally hash out their feelings for each other and this whole trust issue. Maybe Lucas turns because he doesn't trust Harry anymore and thinks Harry is betraying him, but then after their big confrontation Lucas finds out that he's just being used to get to Harry, and when the bad guys try to kill Harry, Lucas saves him and takes the bullet or something. So at least even if Lucas dies, he died saving someone he admired and respected and cared about. Maybe we can see some tear and emotion from Harry too at losing his prodigy. Maybe a scene where Harry is holding Lucas in his arms as he dies? That may actually be good writing there.
