This past wkend DH & I finally returned to Spooks 8, ep 5. You remember the one when Harry directed Lucas to probe Sarah (as if he needed an excuse..LOL) as to her whereabouts when Samuel Walker was killed. MI5 knew within a few feet where she was at the time thanks to Lucas' clever retrieval of the data from the CIA's London hdqtrs. As you know, Sarah lied while answering her 'honey's' query. The immediate thought ran through my mind "now that he knows she's lying to him, Lucas will probably make an excuse not to stay for their usual liaison session."
Paradoxically, hubby's reaction to the same situation was to blurt out "Lucas, old boy, you might as well have one more romp in the hay." haha Obviously there's a basic difference between the sexes in this area. Under the same circumstances females would feign a headache & go home in a dejected huff, while the opposite sex stays the course and continues to 'liaison' as if nothing had happened. Conclusion: ep 5 must've been written by a man.
What happened to Sarah - she seems to have disappeared;)..
there she is....drat!
