#leverage s3

But as I finish Season 3 on the latest rewatch, there are so many amazing episodes in it. I just never seem to remember they were which season they were in.

The Ho Ho Ho Job

The Double Blind Job

The Scheherazade Job

The Morning After Job

The Inside Job

And of course the masterpiece: The Rashomon Job

What better time to try to get back to my Leverage bingewatch than 3:50 AM on a Thursday night, huh?

A Christmas episode, I see.

Sorry, boo, I don't think he's a storm sorcerer. 😂

Sometimes she really puts the 'cat' in the 'cat burglar', huh.

Why does this guy look like G.R.R. Martin, though.

Lapland, Parker, Lapland.

Oh Eliot. 🙄

But at least it is part of the job this time.

Come on, Eliot, you like it. I saw that smile. 🤭

Okay, that is a cruel and unusual punishment. I don't know who's more unhappy, Eliot or the kid. 😂

Interesting goth elf getup, Parker.

Ah, the magical EMP gun. Could be very handy.

Okay, Sophie, that's one way to do it.

...Moreau?

Never mind, Parker's dress is dark green.

Ebenezer. Of course.

Oh, that bitch. Should have known the second they said 'hacker'.

Ew. Can't blame ya, Parker.

This is a bit too real right now, you know?

That actor is very good at being hateable. Kudos.

Honestly, he actually reminds me of someone I knew IRL.

The bloody 'callsign' too, now that I think of it.

Aww, he's going to avenge Lucille II on Hardison's behalf.

Get wrecked, loser.

Aw, mum and dad got the kids presents!

So, was that the real name this time?

One Dress a Week Challenge

September: Pink

Leverage (s3 e11, "The Rashomon Job") / Gina Bellman as Sophie Devereaux as Duchess Alexia of Barrington-Highsworth

This dress is deceptively simple. There's kind of nothing to it, and yet it's memorable. When I started thinking of pink dresses, it was the first one that popped into my head. I only wish I could have gotten better screenshots!

Sophie, a grifter, is passing herself off as s duchess in this scene, so the dress has to fit the pretense. The deep color and artful creasing suggest something expensive despite the simplicity of design. Definitely a case of "less is more." Matching pumps, a contrasting purse, and several pieces of diamond jewelry complete the look.

Here's a closeup of the jewelry (as Sophie is spiking the drink of an unsuspecting mark):

Eliot says he’s got to kill General Atherton so Moreau will give him the details to the auction and Sophie says “you can’t, you’re not that man anymore.” I’m just noticing the minuscule nod the Eliot gives Nate while they stare each other down. Nate nods back and says “he might have to be.”
