Spoiler:
In a pastiche of the classic 1950 film "Rashomon," the team members recall---with very different perspectives---how they each tried to pilfer the same artifact on the very same night five years earlier.

Sophie's accents (and her reaction to them).

This was a super fun episode! All of them except Nate bagging on Sophie's accent was awesome. Nice throw away line at the start of the episode to remind us of the person they're supposed to be looking for.

*Oh, you said "SHRIMP"*

That was a hilarious episode. John Billingsley is always fun.

By Elliot's version of the story, I was able to point out who was going to be Hardison & Parker in the gallery scene. I thought it was going to be actually Nate in the air shaft during Parker's story. Wrong there.

I could have sworn that the guy playing Elliot's part before we knew it was Elliot was Henry "Elllllliotttttt" Thomas, but I can't find any place indicating he was in the episode. It would have been funny if it was him, considering the other rather obvious stand-ins for Hardison and Parker.

The thing I'm confused about, however, is Sophie not taking notice of the fact that Nate was right behind her talking to the gallery owner guy. They already were very familiar with each other at that point.

I've never seen this show, but the Rashomon angle caught my eye. Can a non-viewer jump in on this ep?

Yeah. Seeing as it takes place three years earlier, it might also be a nice primer if you get into it.

"Do you all REALLY think that's what I sound like?" That was great along with the Lord of the Rings comment.

Saw this episode last night. My friend was into the show, I saw the end of one ep, and then this one came on. I vaguely remembered a thread about a Rashomon based episode of something, so I googled "Leverage bluetoast" and this thread came up! Fun episode, makes me want to get into the show.
