Good point! So, perhaps the Chinese are Vaughn's employers. The Chinese-Russian hacker-cryptology people are an alliance of Lucas' previous nemesis, the FSB, and his current one(?) the Chinese secret service. Too many questions!

Concering his double identity, what about Lucas' ex wife the Russian FSB ?clerk with whom he broke ties a few series back? Or was he brainwashed a-la Jason Bourne into believing he was another person?

Is Malcolm setting Lucas up? Why did Malcolm really retire when he did? The previous Home Secretary retired and was up to no good. Grasping at straws I know Could Malcolm be part of Nightingale ? Tariq said he had been unaware of the hackers spying on the Grid. For all we know Malcolm could have allowed them initial access for a "Yalta" type reason?? Malcolm and this Chinese-Russian alliance?

Maybe Beth has masterminded the whole thing and is still freelancing this time for the Chinese. Although she and Dmitri are becoming part of the Spooks family. The new members of Spooks may not be quite as sharp as Ros or Adam but they're certainly loveable

And since when did it become acceptable for the CIA chief to be inside the Grid? I doubt our Spook friends have already forgotten the backstabbing antics of the "cousins" from Series 8! Lucas has a lot of explaining - keep doing what you do best Ruth!
