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.

Actually I quite like this idea! Of course only if Lucas is in fact innocent (something I'm absolutely convinced of), which will then be discovered at some point in series 10. So that would mean he could return - and it would give RA time for both Strike Back 2 and Spooks 10. And it would be so much better than having to watch Lucas getting killed!
