Series 9 Rumours & Speculation

[BoHenley]

I'm having trouble getting my head around the high probability that Lucas will betray MI5 or his country or both for the sake of a woman.

We know that

Series 9.6 Spoiler: show

Vaughan is blackmailing him

, okay, good storyline, but threatening something against the MI5 TEAM is more feasible than threatening his lover, given Lucas's past evidence of loyalty to his country.

Unless Lucas sacrifices himself for the team at some point (guessing in S8), then this is a poor way to end a character, and whether he lives or dies, because of his betrayal ("Albany" file etc. but looks like getting worse) his character arc must come to some sort of close. I'm hoping this could be incarceration rather than death - that would be a Spooks twist (!) plus allow the character's return.
