[spoilers] Lucas and Sarah Caulfield

[HellsBells]

Do you really think he will be able to choose between Sarah and Harry, I'm not sure he trusts either of them completely. They both lie to him quite regularly.

I think it's a question of the devil you know --Lucas and Harry may have a difficult relationship but L wants H's approval and, above all, finally wants to prove his loyalty. If Sarah gets in the way of that, he'll sacrifice her. There are interesting parallels in the Lucas/Oleg and Lucas/Harry relationship -- trust, not truth, is what matters.

That's a really interesting point which I hadn't even thought of ! Let's hope Lucas doesn't trust Sarah lol.
Perhaps we should have a thread about Harry/Lucas relationship because I haven't got a clue where that is going.

I've just remembered another piece of the scene in Lucas's flat after Oleg had left in a hissy fit. When Sarah protests he raises his left arm as if to strike her - that really surprised me, didn't think Lucas could/would do that to a woman. (Apart from of course when he almost tore Tranquility's face off in the 7.1 trying to get the bomb code)

I initially thought he was holding himself back from hitting her, too, but now that I think of it, what if he was actually raising his arm to protect himself, as if fending off a blow, like he would have done when being tortured? But this time it's emotional pain and Sarah is the torturer?

[kirmostar]

He was angry, they were pushing each other about, but equally maybe she was reaching for his arm in affection and he pulled away.

No he was going to hit her. He wasn't fending her off. Watch the scene. He asked her a question and he didn't get the answer he wanted....

Dynamite scene, one of the best of the series so far IMO

[HellsBells]

I must admit to thinking he was at least threatening to hit her, but they were both pushing each other around a bit. I will have to watch that scene again.
