Spoiler: show

I think that if this whole Lucas thing will be the main arc of Series 9, then I can see why Malcolm could possibly return and fit into the new plot.

Harry will need all the help he can get to back him up where Lucas is concerned. Ruth would be there for Harry, but she doesn't really know the relationship between him and Lucas as she wasn't there during the old days, and Tariq and the newbies certainly wouldn't know either, which leaves Malcolm as one of the few people still alive that was there during the old days. Maybe we'll get Harry and Lucas's relationship in the fore-front, and I can see why Malcolm can be brought into this, especially since I always thought Malcolm is very fond of Lucas.

But yeah, I can see why you would worry that after such a good exit, bringing him back would make things worse. But I hope that Spooks can do well in this department if he's coming back.
