I expected Lucas' and Harry's relationship to be much improved in series 8 but we saw little of that. BTW I think Lucas' idea that Harry could have actively sold him out to the Russians (in contrast to not trying very hard to get him back) was pretty outrageous. I can imagine a situation where such actions would seem advisable, in exchange of a much needed favour, but would our Harry really go so far and sacrifice Lucas?

I always saw it as Harry's hand being forced and was unable to bring Lucas home no matter how much he wanted. Maybe someone from higher up, like Richard Dalby or the HS or maybe even the PM didn't think confronting the Russians to get one agent back was worth the trouble and forced Harry to stand down. Or it was something like since Lucas was captured in Moscow, Harry couldn't plan any rescue mission because it could be seen as an attack on Moscow, which would start a war, or maybe he tried making deals but the Russians refused to take any offer.

They never really explained why it took Harry 8 years to get Lucas back or how Lucas was even captured and the situations surrounding it, I am hoping Series 9 will give us more of what happened.

I think it's understandable that Lucas blames Harry or even think Harry may be involved if the stakes are high enough. No matter how outrageous it may sound to us, I think in Lucas's mind, after all he has suffered, the doubts are seeping through and he is weary of trusting anyone again. Who knows what the Russians have told him in prison.

I am just hoping for a happy ending for Lucas and Harry, god knows we have enough sad endings on this show, would it kill the writers to give us a happy one?
