That's what I thought at first but according to Ian Wylie who has seen the final episode when we see what appears to be the end something else is thrown in.

I'm going to predict a brief clip of Ruth meeting the Chinese speaking Mandarin...............

Make sense! Look forward to Monday 9pm...

I seriously hope they don't do that or I'll be screaming at the TV and obsessively explaining it away all next year! Tongue

Wouldn't that make her a traitor? That she was the one using Lucas/John? That would just make it even sadder....

Or it could be totally misleading and she's talking to one of her contacts about any information they may have about the group involved.... Or even a totally different case and they're messing with our heads.

This is of course all IF it happens to be a clip of that at the end.

I don't know, something in this storyline is just very fishy, I mean, I'd have to be drinking a lot of koolaid to actually accept the growing number of plot-holes that I can drive a truck through.....

Either the writers are purposely messing with our heads, or they just simply expect us to suspend the disbelief and ignore that MI5 may just be the laughing stock of the whole intelligence community with all the moles, traitors, and horrible background vetting process!! Dodgy

I can swallow Lucas and Ros saving London all on their own....but really...they are pushing the limit here!

I will be upset if Maya isn't more than she seems. Currently she's just too one dimensional as a character and is irritating me like Sarah did last season. Nothing to do with Lucas mind you.
Sarah annoyed me for several reasons but at least she had some depth if only a little.
Maya looks like she's been dropped in the wrong show... Confused

At least Sarah had a personality and a purpose with the whole Nightingale storyline, as horrible as she was, she served a good purpose in the story even if she turned out to be quite psychotic.

Maya has about the personality of a block of wood, actually, that would be insulting to blocks of wood everywhere.....I don't know why she chooses to look like a frightened squirrel at all times.... Dodgy

....honestly, she looks like a squirrel facing incoming traffic.....hopefully there is more to her than just Lucas having this "amazing and grace" love whirlwind with her because if Lucas is risking it all just for her, I am of the feeling that I should grab that idiot boy by the ear and smack him very hard! (Even if he is older than me! Dodgy

)

I know Lucas is a mess when it comes to his love life, but seriously, this is just about turning into the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen in my life!!

I don't think Harry should be looking for Lucas, he should be more worried about finding Lucas's brain because it clearly has exited the building.....

This whole storyline with Lucas gives me just as much frustration as BBC's Merlin's storyline with Morgana going all evil and suddenly doesn't care about anyone in her life. Why can't people give me the damn good reasons!!!!

Hahaha! Great points there. Nice squirrel analogy. Tongue

I do think it's a shame that we haven't been made to like her more. If that were the case then i feel we may have been even more attached to the outcome of the show and it would be even better. (However i'm not a fan of them taking screen-time away from the grid for her so i can't really win).

I hope that there is a reason she's flat as a character and they'll explain on Monday (again doubt it) but after some reflection i really think that she's the weakest link character in this series.

Continuing my squirrel analogy.... Wink

Maya reminds me of squirrels that see the incoming traffic and refuses to get out of the way!! She KNOWS that something dangerous and shady is going on with Vaughn and Lucas, I mean HELLO KNIFE IN LEG! But she just does whatever Lucas says and instead of running away, she runs with him!!! She's like this squirrel that I nearly ran over on the road at one time!! I stopped to let the squirrel go pass but it decides to stare at me for the next 5 minutes!! Dodgy

Seriously, Maya is giving all women, in fact, all human beings, a bad name!!!

I honestly don't think seeing her anymore would make any difference, unless she got a personality transplant somewhere along the way! I've seen more reactions out of a plankton than her!

If the writers don't really have twist in mind at the end of this, I will be sorely disappointed and will probably spend the rest of my life hating the writers for ruining 3 series of Spooks for me! Dodgy
