Lucas is duped by Billy Hood during the standoff, substituting himself to lead him into custody but ends up being a hostage. He came close to dying but was saved by Lily. Your thoughts about him believing Billy? How did this change him?

Lucas is a charismatic guy and thinks highly of his skills. He made mistakes, but I believe he wanted to prevent anyone else from getting hurt or killed. Lucas expected to die. I wonder if Lily saving him added to the attraction.
