Series 9 Rumours & Speculation

[AnnMarie]

I did have some trouble with Lucas going back to Moscow "so soon" (time in Spooks continuum=what?) after his release. I can't imagine how there wasn't a large degree of psychological trauma for Lucas attached to that trip. Of all the people to send, Harry sent Lucas? I wondered what was the basis for Harry's complete trust in Lucas to go back to Moscow, carry out his mission and return. I had trouble understanding how Lucas could get on the plane to Moscow which being heavily sedated enough to avoid screaming, "Get me the H*ll off this plane!!". My point in bringing this up is that I wonder how this factors in to the spy/double spy/triple spy etc idea.......

Still, I refuse to think it'd be that easy.. if they do make him a Russian super mole, they'd have two twist and re-write quite a few story lines...not puttin it past them but I'd be disappointed if he were "only" a Russian spy/traitor.
...and who says the ultimate betrayal is committed by Lucas?!?!

I agree, if they do choose to make Lucas a double agent for Russia, it would really ruin the character development that Lucas has had over the last two series. We saw him as a man who is damaged and skirts the lines, but still in the end loyal to MI5 and Harry. It makes him admirable and a character that people can love. But if they make him a double agent who's been playing MI5 all along, all he's done and the things he has said, it will all be nothing because he's just been playing everyone. Then the care that he's shown to Ros, Jo, Ben, Tariq and Ruth will be simply meaningless and I really hate for all that to go to waste as simply Lucas pretending, because those moments alone when no one's watching, I just can't believe it's all for pretend.

Of course the ability to pretend to that level and degree would also be what makes him a super mole and, dare I say it, attracted to the darkness that was Sarah in the first place. A spy without a soul?
