The dynamic for season 4 should be interesting now that Nate and Sophie have finally hooked up.

Also, I'm so glad we won't have to see Elisabetta Canalis again. That whole arc last season with her and Moreau was very disappointing. The show is so much funnier and stronger when it's Nate's team helping people on a case by case basis.

Also for those curious, Jeri Ryan (Tara) will be back this season.

I liked this episode mainly because of the interactions between Nate's team. Parker and Elliott working together was great. I also thought Sophie interacting with everyone in the tent was fun. The chemistry with the team is what makes Leverage fun.

Sometimes I think Leverage's writers tend to create really convuluted stories that are really hard to follow. This is definitely one of them. All I understood was that it had something to do with a Mortgage fraud scam and that notebook that Eric Stoltz had with him had some incriminating evidence.

to Beth Riesgraf in this episode. I liked that we got to see a more sensitive side to Parker in this episode.

I forgot all about the show. I'll need to see when the replay is.

I thought the episode was very underwhelming. I thought the whole point of the case was to save thousands of people from being defrauded out of their home, but it seemed like they let the only evidence of that be destroyed in exchange for possibly getting the CEO sent away for murder (if the only evidence was the recording of the dead guy, it seems like a decent attorney could introduce reasonable doubt into the case).

Yeah no kidding. I know they shoot the show in Portland, so I have to wonder how much money they spent on that snow covered mountain.

As I said, the story didn't really work for me, but the character interactions kept it from being a total flop.

I was half expecting for them to say they used the camera's phone to take pics of the notebook to transmit to Hardison or they gave the Russian a different book.
