Series 9 Episode 8 discussion

[conniesachs]

I never heard the footsteps (but then I'm getting old and deaf) nor picked up on the 48 hours bit so just accepted that the writers want us the think Lucas jumped. But I keep wondering why did he choose to jump? If you're thinking of committing suicide and have a gun in your hand the obvious thing to do is shoot yourself, regardless of how high a building you're on. So I did have a private fantasy that MI6 needed him for an undercover job with the Russian mafia where genuine Russian prison tattoos would be very useful, so set up a story with Harry to explain why he had to leave. So it was MI6 who found Vaughn and provided all that back-up that Lucas needed in 9.8 - well we did wonder how he managed all that in such a short space of time.
It doesn't bring Lucas back to Section D, but with RA's commitments to other projects I don't think that was ever likely, but at least my way Lucas is alive and well and doing what he does best somewhere out there.
