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.......

I wondered about that too. I mean, sending a guy who was captured in Moscow and tortured back to the place where all the bad memories are sounds like a bad move to me. Lucas the whole time looked really tense, always looking over his shoulder, and he was sighing in relief when the mission was over. Clearly this was affecting him.

I don't think Harry necessarily fully trusted Lucas, but I do believe that Harry sent Lucas because Lucas was the one person on the team at that point who had any knowledge of what Sugarhorse was about or that it even existed. Remember that they had a big fight after Lucas found out Harry lied to him. So I think Harry counted on Lucas as his only chance to get the real mole. It was either trust Lucas (whom he probably will always care about even if not always trust), or let the mole get away.

It's possible, not that I want to believe Lucas to be a person like that.

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*

Oh believe me my dear Tyger, it would be a sucker punch for me too! I always viewed Lucas as the tough guy with a gentle and caring side, and no matter how many times he disobeys orders, he will always come through for Harry and MI5.

I really really hope that Lucas will not be ruined like that!

AGREED!
