In 7.4. they tested him again, they told him that they did bring forward the time of the explosion and he was supposed to do nothing about it. Both times he remained loyal to MI5 but tricked the Russians into believing that he is loyal to THEM. Since then they left him in peace and he has been of no real use to them and that has always puzzled me. Were his actions in 7.7. and 7.8. enough to convinced them that in fact he is working against them? Did those that hunted him (Victor whatshisname, apparently the replacement for Kachimov) even knew that he was supposed to be a double agent?

For all we know they might come back and actually demand something that is important to them from him, not just a test. And wouldn't one expect that they won't let him get away alive should they find out he's not loyal?

Maybe Series 9 will answer that issue because I have always been rather confused about Lucas's relationships with the Russians, especially in 7.7 and 7.8 where Lucas was sent into Moscow to help Harry with the whole Sugarhorse deal and then the racing across London thing with Ros and Connie. One would think the Russians would have figured out he's not on their side? And if they did, wouldn't they want him dead? Or is that deal Lucas supposedly made only with Kachimov?
