Series 9 Rumours & Speculation

[Quill]

That's a really cool storyline you developed BoHenley. It also fits with the timeline. Lucas has been back for 2 years, after spending 8 years in a Russian prison, so that's 10 years. Vaughn says that 15 years has passed and John/Lucas still looks the same. So, something happened in Africa, with or without Harry's help, but he probably recruited John/Lucas there and helped him changed his identity. He would have spent 5 years as a MI-5 agent, introduced young Tom to the service and then got captured by the Russians. Maybe because of the circumstances of how he got into the service himself, he was led to believe that Harry didn't care to get him back. That's why he told Connie that he blamed Harry for his 8 years in Hell.

And your ending for the season would be very spooks-like... Harry knows it all, but John/Lucas is afraid to fail him and he's manipulated by Vaughn until the bitter end. The question is: Will he survive the showdown?
