Is it just a little distracting to see Leverage and Burn Notice exchanging guest stars?

Ha! I just looked at IMDB for Mark Shepard, and sure enough he's on the Dollhouse this week! Too funny.... Don't know if he's playing a bad guy, but I wouldn't bet against it.

No need to spoilerize what's already aired, wirefan. The tinfoil reflector was a bit ridiculous. Just the fact that she could construct those 5tf long, fairly ridged reflectors while standing in the laser grid was quite a feat.
I think it was a great episode, if only for the last 20 minutes. But I didn't get the plot at all. From what I gathered, the plan was to sell him a fake David, let him insure it then display it for a few months and then reveal it as a fake which would make in guilty of insurance fraud, I guess.
1. I assume the insurance company would do their own verification for such an expensive, and illicitly acquired, item. Unless he skirted the rules as the insurance company's CEO I don't see how he would get into trouble for getting scammed into buying a fake.
2. Did they expect the Vatican emissary/art lending cover to hold up for a few months while he insured/displayed the fraudulent second David?
3. Parker though, and demonstrated, that they could steal/swap the first David very easily. So why didn't they just switch it out to begin with and then tip the insurance company that it was a fake? It would be a lot easier than their con job, with the only real difference being they would have the first David instead of the cash.
