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.

VERY GOOD point. It would only prove that he's an excellent actor (Lucas, that is.. and RA by extension ).. and it would ruin my picture of a tough but sweet, damaged, but not broken, man. Capable of murder and of compassion, and not of betrayal. Although I guess every person is at a certain point capable of it, just a matter of price and/or circumstances.
What would be the point in taking all that away just to shock and surprise us with a totally different person?! Whatever the big "WHAT?!?!?!" is RA hinted at, it'd better be good. If not as in "Lucas is good" then in "Lucas is bad but the script is good".
Still, it'd be a sucker punch for me if he turned out traitor. And a rotten person. Nah. Not gonna happen. *puts fingers back in ears and walks away, whistling loudly*
