Yes, Nate, you really do.

Leverage S02E05 The Three Days of the Hunter Job.

See this is why The Rundown Job is my favorite episode ever ! They are so IN SYNC ! Twelve minutes in we have this beautiful shot of them three being surrounded and instinctively, without having to think about it, adopting a position with their back to each other. And despite Parker's (rightful) instinct of 'too many cops' that would have made her run away and disappear just a few years ago, she sticks with them and trust them to have a backup plan and not let her end up in jail even if it means trusting Eliot's shady military friend. And when Hardison looks pissed of having that trust betrayed, he's pissed at the friend, not at Eliot, because he knows Eliot doesn't have many friends whom he trusts and how DARE YOU betray that ? Truly the ultimate OT3 episode

because you're my friend, and i need you. do you hear me, alec? i need you!

I was thinking that we don't really talk about how the first thing we see of Sophie after her TERRIBLE Lady Macbeth is her shooting Nate, like the flashback is her and Nate shooting each other at some point in the past, and then I realized-

Eliot's flashback? Him kicking ass off screen

Sophie's flashback? Her shooting and being shot by Nate

Parker's flashback? Childhood arson

Hardison's flashback? Him geeking out in a fancy hotel

Sophie is not the odd one out here.

Leverage 3x6 - "The Studio Job"

trash birds being quite silly

the way the leverage team make a mess of nate’s apartment on multiple occasions is so much funnier when you consider that none of them are particularly messy people. in the pilot, hardison has a very nice apartment that he is clearly proud of & has kept very tidy. parker’s warehouse is almost disturbingly neat, her tools and weapons are kept clean & shiny and are laid out in perfect rows, her bed is made, her clothes and rappelling gear is hung up. eliot likes things done properly and certainly at least cares for his car’s cleanliness. idk about sophie, but she would at least know how to act neat for a grift, and she’d be aware of how a guest to supposed to treat their host’s home.

but they all put unwashed dishes in nate’s sink, do spur of the moment renovations, set up new gear in his living room, leave clothes/costumes, plans & random items strewn about the place, and even tear up his stuff without fixing it. i love it. his apartment is their playground. they half live here now. nate just needs to chill out and let them saw into his walls, geez calm downnnn. i know nate’s eye was twitching when he saw that parker’s warehouse was so perfect meanwhile there’s probably 5 bowls of unfinished cereal hidden in his house like a damn look-and-find puzzle

Hardison: I suggested we tell him
