There was an interview with RA (just before the new series started) who said if Lucas was to be written out he would want him to go quietly, I guess jumping off a building without even a scream counts.

Well the car alarms did go off, those usually are very loud...

I know it's unfair that I blame Harry and that there probably was nothing he could really do to stop Lucas from walking down this path, but a part of me can't ever stop blaming him for not trying hard enough. Why is it that he has such a hard time just telling the truth? He lied to Lucas about Sugarhorse and then turned around and expected Lucas to tell him everything he remembers despite the torture. He lied to Lucas about Nightingale until it was too big and he needed the team to help. And now it's the same with Albany, he keeps on not telling Lucas until things are too late to change. And while I understand Harry's reasons for it, I don't think I'll ever stop blaming him for not trying to turn things around before they became too late. He had a chance to really try hard to end this, and he didn't even try.

I know Lucas/John jumping off is rather cowardly because he couldn't take going back to prison now he had nothing to live for. But you can always think that he jumped because OUR Lucas is still in there fighting evil John, and that OUR Lucas knew that he had to end this before John hurts anymore people. Think of this as OUR Lucas's sacrifice one last time to save his team and the people who matters.

That's how I get through this....
