When she meets him, so he can explain things he says, 'When I was in Africa, something happened, something I had to bury.."
At his house she says, "I suppose you're innocent" and he replies "no".
At the hospital he tells her he has "Fixed things" and she doesn't ask anything!!!!!
And does she really ever know where they are going or why they have to hide in a hotel?? (until Alec tells her)
Am I missing something???
I love the analyses, they are really interesting...

Maya is not even a functioning person, she's just a plot device with no brain whatsoever! No personality, no brain function, no nothing! I've seen a sponge with more personality and brain cells than her!

It amazes me that even when her "boyfriend" has a giant knife stuck in his leg and her other "lover" has a gun, she just obeys and waits outside.....any SANE person would have run and called the cops! SERIOUSLY!!!!

It's no wonder that John and Maya got together, I mean, he's obviously not right in the head either! I mean, what sort of normal sane human being decides that just because he's stuck on a foreign continent that the best way to get off is to blow up an embassy and kill your friend for his passport????? I'm sorry but a NORMAL PERSON just doesn't think like that!!!! I'm already a pretty abnormal crazy person, and even I don't think like that!!!!

On the other hand about the relationship between Harry and Lucas, it's sad that even at the very end with those two on that roof, Harry was still all about the job, doing what's right for the job, it didn't matter that Lucas was losing his heart and soul over this, Harry Pearce will always be about the job. And I think that probably shattered Lucas's soul to realize that, it didn't matter how many years he stayed loyal or what he had suffered, to Harry, the personal bond doesn't matter, it's all about doing the right thing for the job, for Queen and Country. I think Lucas was hoping that he mattered a bit more, that maybe just maybe he was a bit more important to Harry, and he's finally now realizing that to Harry, the job will always come first. I think for Lucas, on that roof when he said that he was nothing, it's when he finally realized that he should have seen a long time ago who Harry really is instead of making him up in his own head, that Harry is defender of the realm, first, last, and always.

And honestly, I think that's why a part of me will never forgive Harry Pearce for not trying hard enough to save Lucas. He was about the job, doing the right thing for the job, he chose to sacrifice Lucas over his job and his love for Ruth. He didn't try hard enough to save Lucas, to fix this situation, he could have, he had the power to, but he didn't try, he was manipulating things til the end. And I just can't ever forgive Harry for that.
