Leverage 1.10 "The Twelve Step Job" recap.

leveragetwelve2

Previously on Leverage:  Nate has a drinking problem which happened to come up again suddenly last week.  Sophie bothers him about it while the team keeps on doing their thing as long as he doesn't take them down with him.

This week we open on a husky looking guy commuting to work in a nice Ford SUV.  He’s demonstrating every single way not to drive.  Hoagie in one hand, music blasting (something like Flogging Molly or the Dropkick Murphy’s, not sure), and digging around his many fast food wrappers and whiskey bottles for his soda.  He strolls through the halls of “McTeague’s Capital Investments” where the music follows him now in the background.  He’s fairly well dressed despite his sloppy habits.  He seems like a pretty big deal in the office; addressing everybody he passes with a good natured request or question, whether it‘s about business or softball.  A less-attractive-than-Pam-from-The-Office Pam stops who we now know as Jack in the hallway, urgently telling him they need to talk.  He asks her if she can figure out the Irishy song and I wish she knew the answer.  Swing to a young woman in blue sitting in his office.  Swing to official people digging through boxes and files.  And then swing to I-Am-Jack’s-Mortified-Conscious face.  He takes off, and runs over some poor intern.  The girl in blue seems to have noticed and looks after him even though the official dudes don’t.

Leverage HQ.
Nathan Ford and Sophie are consulting with the girl in blue, now in white, but we know her name‘s Michelle now.  Nate sips on a soda and asks if she’s told anybody that the money is gone.  She hasn’t, not even the board of directors.  She was responsible for the donations to a food pantry and now she worries about going to jail.  Nate tells her that wont happen and asks about her money manager.  We get the skinny on Jack Hurley.  He had sweetly and enthusiastically told Michelle that with the right investments they could make more money. She knew something was wrong when she needed to write some checks and Jack wouldn’t answer her calls. She called his boss, learning there was no record of the pantry having an account with them.  She doesn’t know how that’s possible and Nate says that the company is falsifying its records for Hurley’s embezzlement.  He assures her that this isn‘t her fault.  Understandingly, she’s slow to trust people right now and she asks why Nate does this.  “Same reason you do.”, he tells her before she leaves.

Sophie takes a sniff of his soda and makes a face.
“Bit early for that isn’t it?”, she asks.
Nate blows off the importance of his drinking in comparison to Michelle’s predicament and the need to find Jack Hurley.

Elliot storms into Hardison’s territory of the Leverage HQ; the AV room.  He wonders why Michelle doesn’t just sue the firm since she has all of the monthly statements.  Nate says have fun with the seven-year lawsuit, they’re going to have to find Jack Hurley.  Hardison can only tell him that Hurley’s not on the grid.  No online activity for the past couple of days.  Sophie speculates that he’s liquidated the company’s money into cash and that it’s gotta be burning a hole in his pocket.  Jack’s last credit card statement before he disappeared shows bars, strip joints, taco stands, Asian massage (Hardison‘s a fan), pay per views.  All on Sunday.  Classy guy.  Eliot asks if there’s any pattern to it and Hardison pulls up the map, bouncing all over the place.  Parker describes it best with, “It’s like Billy from Family Circus if Billy was a drunken sex fiend.”  Hah!
They know he’s still in the states since his passport hasn’t showed up anywhere.  Nate says, “He’s an addict under stress, so he’s not going to do a lot of exploring, he’s going to stay in his comfort zone.”  Seem to know a thing or two about addicts, don’t you Nate?  He gives orders for Parker to check out his condo, Sophie to hit the retail with himself, and for Eliot and Hardison to check out his favorite hangouts.  Eliot gets a wild gleam in his eye since this includes strip joints.  He whispers to Hardison who shares in the excitement.  They head out and then backtrack to ask Nate if he can break a hundred with singles.  Nate blows them off.

Now, before we go any further I should point out that Sam and Dean Winchester are definitively “The Boys”, to me.  But just for this episode, Eliot and Hardison are going to be “the boys” of Leverage.  Onward.

The boys pull up in Eliot’s ride to a dingy looking joint.  “Bar number twelve.”  Hardison sighs.  “You see this place?  Not exactly a velvet rope kind of guy is he?”.  Eliot agrees.  As he digs up the file they have on Hurley, Hardison accidentally dumps the majority of a huge blue slushy onto the floor mat.  He asks that Eliot doesn’t get mad.  Eliot gets mad.  Like, livid with the screaming and telling him he‘s cleaning up the mess.  Hardison tells him he’s being very dramatic.  I’m cracking up.  He saves himself by pointing out Hurley coming out of the bar and drunkenly pushing his keys on a chick in a jean skirt and cowboy boots.  She looks to be a bartender or waitress and refuses him, going back inside.  Eliot informs Nate via comm that Hurley is on the move.  Hardison is disgusted by Hurley’s behavior to the young woman.  Eliot, still mad about the slushy mutters how it should be the other way around with the guy giving the girl a ride home,  (I guess) but oh, Hardison wouldn’t know anything about that.  His jab at Hardison’s sex life (or perhaps lack thereof) doesn't improve the chances of Hardison cleaning up the slushy mess.  Their banter is cut short when a black car screeches up behind Hurley’s little green vehicle, making Hurley back into them.

Three nicely dressed but thuggish Hispanics get out and start roughing him up.  Aparently the team isn't the only ones with their eye on Hurley.  Hardison says, “That is not how you exchange insurance information.” and the boys hop out to help.  They take them on, three against two.  Taking and giving blows, disarming weapons, and all around kicking ass!  It‘s super hot.  Hurley’s made a break for it and zips through the fray, making everyone split it up.  Hardison gets a hold of a gun laying on the asphalt.  Everyone freezes while he shoots the black car and he and Eliot take off.  Eliot compliments the good idea of shooting out the engine block but Hardison tells him he was aiming for one of the thug’s legs.  Eliot is once again pissed at him and demands he hand over the gun.  He tells Nate that they lost Jack but Nate immediately responds that he’s been found.
Cut to the little green thing crunched into a street pole.  Jack is unhurt but snoring against the airbag.  No sign of the cash in the car.  They’re not going to kidnap him and they can’t lose him to county lockup.  Nate thinks fast and them Hurley is going to lock himself up.
Hurley suddenly jerks to consciousness in a dim room where Nate is sitting at a table.   He says he remembers hitting something with his car.  Nate tells him he hit something alright.  Little thing called “Rock Bottom”.  He leans foreword, hair tousled and looking convincingly miserable himself.  “Welcome to rehab.”  Hurley collapses back onto the bed.  I am Jack's Self Loathing.

Open up to the outside grounds and building of “Second Act Rehabilitation Center”.  Inside around the front desk office a scholarly looking middle aged man talks to a graduate of the Cambridge Medical College, winner of addiction therapy research awards, etc.  “Dr. Tanner, it’s not everyday we get someone of your stature to consult on our staff.”
Sophie turns around, looking rather scholarly herself.  (If glasses makes you look scholarly, her blue dress and boots are freaking adorable.)  Even her British accent is a little amped up. “One can’t stay locked in the ivory tower of academia forever, doctor.”  She’s ready to get her hands dirty again.  They walk through the halls of the center and our nameless doctor gives her the rundown of their operation.  It’s not the kind of place that panders to the Lindsey Lohans of the world, more like your drunk uncles and user friends.  People come in and all of their worldly possessions and ties to the outside world are taken so that everyone has equal status.  “Dr. Tanner” is led to a small group of equals.  The camera is at a ceiling view so we don’t see anybody’s face as she sits, but we assume Jack is one of them.

She introduces herself and asks that everyone else does the same and explain why they‘re here.  Marcie, a depressed gothic teen starts.  She’s flat-tones that she’s there because her mother is a controlling bitch.  Hi Marcie!  A large, dopey looking man goes next.  His introduction is hilariously incomprehensible so Sophie nods and gestures to our Parker.  Hah!  “Hi my name is Rose, I’m a kleptomaniac, my parents are rich but I shoplift anyway…”, Parker checks the notes on her arm.  “Because I hate myself”.  We swing to Nate who says “Yeah, I’m Tom and I like to drink.”  And then to Jack who says he’s an alcoholic.  And a hooked on nicotine, porn, gambling, lying, and eating.  Especially tacos.  Dude, if loving tacos is wrong then I don’t want to be right.
He gives us an inspirational confession that somehow he apparently checked himself in and is now ready for change.  Sophie thanks him for being brave and instead of getting the information out of him they’re all there for she focus back on “Tom”.  Nate is frustrated with her and says that they should talk about Jack more, or maybe Nick Nolty over there,  (poor big incomprehensible guy).
Sophie sticks with Nate‘s problem.  He defines addiction and points out that her fifteen hundred dollar boots are as much of a problem as his drinking. She crosses her legs, showing off the shiny knee highs, saying she hasn’t had any complaints about it.  Nick Nolty mumbles something and Sophie thanks “Sam” for his input.  She goes back to Nate and he  forcefully reminds her to get back to Jack.  Jack says it’s bad and that he doesn’t even remember parking his car.  Nate says the he overheard an orderly saying that he totaled it but Jack says that wasn’t his.  His is somewhere downtown and he had the parking receipt in his pocket.  Nate and Parker share a look.
Sophie finishes up asking if anyone has anything else to add.  “Fifteen hundred dollars for boots?”, Marcie asks.  “You got ripped off, lady.”  Sophie doesn’t appreciate the input.  All of my boots combined probably haven’t cost that much, but I don’t think having a “boot problem” lies in the digits.

Cut to Parker casually strolling through the halls of the center.  She gets to a storage closet and picks the lock with a paperclip. She finds Hurley’s box and pockets his keys and the parking receipt.  Safely out of the closet “Rose” is stopped by the earlier and still nameless Doctor.  He tells her about the drug protocol and gives her some happy pills for her kleptomania.  She first refuses but then takes them, chewing them up in her mouth.  Gross, although I can already tell that drugged up Parker is going to be fun.

Outside we’re on the roof of a parking garage where the boys look for Hurley’s SUV.  It beeps from the clicky lock and they trot over.  Hardison gets in the front seat and has to move it  back.  Eliot immediately points out that both Hurley and the parking attendant are big guys, so why is the seat so close?  He checks under the seat to find a bomb that’s now engaged.  Hardison freaks and tries to get out but Eliot keeps him put saying that it’s probably pressure sensitive.  If he gets up he goes boom.  Hardison is really scared and thinks fast, coming up with a plan for Eliot to run and get a bag of bricks to pull an Indiana Jones on the seat.  The logic is so childish and desperate, it’s adorable.  But the bomb’s got two minutes and things are tense.  Eliot sees wires running from the dashboard computer.  Hardison knows computers, and says they need to reboot the system.   “You want me to kick it?“, Eliot asks.  “Oh, I’m gonna die.“, Hardison sighs.  Hee!  And, awww.
He orders Eliot to get under the hood and tell him what’s what while he whips out a handy dandy all purpose tool (I have one too!), and  twists some wires out from under the steering wheel.  Eliot has to yank the wires at the same time that Hardison reboots the system to trick the bomb into thinking it‘s going off.  Margin for error at about half a second.  Eliot wants to hear the bag of bricks plan again.  His hands shake as he grabs the wires.  With fifteen seconds left Hardison yells “Go!”, and zaps his wired together right as Eliot yanks his.

Both were close up views and now we’re far away as Hardison flees from the SUV.  He half laughs and half sobs in the sunlight.  Eliot has had a few more near death experiences than the computer geek and gets back under the car to snag the bomb.  He wants to search the car while Hardison wants to go have a good cry.
Neither get a chance because the Hispanic gangsters pull up followed by some Koreans, both cars trapping the boys between them.  There’s some great Westerny tones as the scene sets up.  I predict some Mexican standoffs.
The Hispanics recognize the boys and pull guns on them.  The Koreans don’t but pull guns on them as well.  The hot ringleader of the Koreans holds his gun to the side like an idiot, his aim’s probably as good as Hardison’s that way.  He gives them five seconds to give them Hurley’s money.
Hardison puts on a Jamaican accent and tells them that they’re in the same situation, he wants Hurley’s money too.  No negotiating gets the guns off of them so Eliot resets the bomb and tells them that they all die (sans him who has about one second to dive under a truck) unless everyone backs off.  The two gangs predict that Chileans must have set the bomb.  Just how many people want Hurley dead?  But they all believe Eliot and take off.  Hardison asks if Eliot was going to drag him to safety too and gets a unsatisfying “Sure.”.

Back in rehab Sophie yanks open the curtains of Nate’s room.  They don’t know where Hurley is but he’s not going far in the center.  She tells Nate he looks awful and that the boys are on their way.  Nate stumbles out of bed, cold and shaking. She realizes he’s in real withdrawal here, but he promises he‘s just pretending.  She congratulates him on really fooling her.

The boys show up at the front desk where the pretty and foreign accented receptionist asks if she can help them.  They’re here to see “Tom” and she asks what their relationship is.  There’s a awkward moment before Eliot asks why she asks, but it’s them to Nate, not them to each other.  Only family can come see patients.  He introduces himself as Mark, Tom’s brother and kisses her hand.  She’s flattered and asks if Hardison is a friend.  He stresses that he’s with Mark, putting on a tender lisp, and slipping an arm through Eliot’s.  “See, he thinks the flirting makes me jealous, but it doesn’t.  But if you was like Brad Pitt or Denzel or somebody, oh girl it would be on, seriously.”  He trumps the Z-snap by ringing the bell, pointing at her, and yanking Eliot along with “Bring yo ass!”.  You’d think Hardison would value his life a little more after the bomb experience earlier.

Nate, Sophie, and the boys are visiting in the center now.  They explain that Hurley didn’t just rip of a charity, but the axis of scumbags.  Nate speculates that North Korea must be using Hurley’s company to launder their counterfeit money and Eliot says that the Hispanics sounded like they were from the Oaxaca, Mexico region.  Probably hit men.  The team isn’t doing great since the only person who knows where the cash is hidden is a compulsive liar.  Nate’s not doing good without a drink in this scene and I don’t think the horrible curtains behind him are helping.
Sophie says they need to look in on the people in Hurley’s life.  She’ll get the names and the boys can follow up.

Back in small group happy-pills Parker is coming to a sweet realization about her foster parents.   Jack listens intently but Sophie moves things along to talk about the healing power of apology.  Sam bumbles something off and everyone else beams at him in understanding.  Sophie thanks him for sharing and that it was very touching and big of him to say so.  Nate and all of the viewers still can’t catch a word out of the guy.
Jack wants to go next but Sophie puts the focus on “Tom” again.  She asks who he might have hurt with his drinking.  Good god, get over it, Sophie.  Nate flips and says he shouldn’t apologize for drinking because he’s more of a bastard sober than drunk.  “If this is you sober, then hell yeah.”, Marcie says.  Nate thanks her and they share a high five which is more like a touch of the fingers.  Sophie is disappointed with him, saying she thought he’d set a better example for Jack.  She’s sure there’s a few people he’d like to say sorry to and gives him a pad of paper to write down their names and call them up.  More like for the team to look up.

Back at the dingy bar, the boys talk with the waitress seen earlier.  Being one of the people to apologize to, she says that Jack just called.  Turns out he wasn’t pushing his keys on her for a ride home, he had bought her that little green car he wound up crashing.  Hers had broken down.
They get in Hardison’s ride now, a Hyundai Genesis.  Oh, product placement.

Back in the Leverage AV room Hardison reveals that Jack isn’t all bad.  Sophie gets a call and Eliot asks if Hardison has noticed that all bad guys know at least one stripper.  Hardison says that Eliot knows about a hundred so what does that make him? “I’m a bad guy.”, Eliot says pretty dang sexily.  Sophie hangs up and heaves a sigh.  It was the rehab center informing her that he tried going over the wall.

“He” winds up not being Jack, but Nathan who is now slouched in a chair and surrounded by orderlies.  They go back to his room and pass Jack who is on the phone apologizing to his Less-Cute-Than-Pam-from-The-Office, Pam.  In his office, she tells him to just get better and that she forgives him.  More people are going through records and she politely asks what branch they’re from.  Hot Korean ringleader who holds his gun like an idiot says “The San Francisco office.  Did Mr. Hurley mention which facility he’s at?”.

Back at the Rehab Center Nate and Sophie argue about his great escape.  Nate’s no Steve McQueen, he tried to scale a wall with a mop and a bed sheet.  He says he needed a little air and Sophie says he needed a drink.  Nate doesn’t correct her, saying he needs more than one.  She wants to talk about this but Nate wants to do the job and get the hell out of there.  He says if she really wants to help him then she just needs to give him something to do.
She explains that Hurley spends as much time and money helping other people as he does feeding his addictions. Nate says he still stole from a charity and that he’s an addict.  He’ll manipulate people to get what he wants.  Nate knows how they work because his father and grandfather both were.  He doesn’t mention himself and Sophie leaves him to think about that.
Nate goes to the window for a moment and is suddenly joined by his old coworker, Sterling, who tells him that he likes this character Nate‘s playing.  Seems more real than the others.    Mark Sheppard is such a good weasel.  Or should I say Badger, as he was called on "Firefly".  I barely remembered him here but he says that the company sent him.  Rehab isn’t cheap.  They’ll cover the bill since Nate’s valuable to them, but covering his son’s cancer wasn’t an issue.  Nate throws a fist into him but it goes into the wall.  He’s suddenly in his room and it’s apparent now that he’s hallucinating.  Sterling says that Nate knows how to get rid of him, and taps an amber filled glass.  It would violate all twelve steps though.  Sterling disappears, leaving the imaginary glass and a shaking Nathan.

Nate does some thinking as Jack, Parker, and the rest of the group play charades.  The rejoicing of Marcie correctly guessing “Knocking of Heaven’s Door” is quickly cut off by a scene change where Nathan slams Hurley up against a wall demanding to know where the money is.  Nate’s sick of games, he wants out of there.  Jack explains that he doesn’t have his wallet or anything, everything was taken when he got there.  Nate means business though.  He refuses any “Step Five” hugging and wants the truth from Hurley.  Turns out Hurley’s wife left him and things went down the drain from there.  Nate closes the door for some privacy and we see the Koreans searching the hallways now.  Nate knows Hurley didn’t just take money from scumbags and he admits stealing from the charity.  He wanted it to be his big fix though.  He tells Nate all about Michelle and how he really meant to help her.  He knew tricks that could quadruple her money after he cleaned out her accounts.  Back in the hallway a happy go lucky Parker bumps into one of the Koreans and looks down at her hands in shock as they walk away.  Nate confirms that Hurley truly meant to give the money back to Michelle.  Hurley asks Nate if “Lying, cheating, stealing, if you’re doing it to help someone, doesn’t that make it okay?”.  Nate doesn’t answer, but that’s basically what the team’s been doing and he can’t say no.

Parker zips into their room and shuts the door behind her.  She says she didn’t mean to, it was just instinct, and shows off a gun she lifted from one of the Koreans.  Nate says they’ve got to get out of there.  Hurley asks Nate why and he tosses Hurley into the hallway where he sees their new visitors.  Jack runs back in reiterating that they’ve got to get out of there.  I am Jack’s Sense of Self Preservation.  Parker says she’s not leaving, she feels like she’s making real progress here.  Hee!  Nate paternally grabs her shoulders and tells her to listen.  She smiles and says that he never touches any of them because the hole in his heart doesn’t let him get close.  Hurley nods.  Nathan cannot believe this.  He grabs the gun, shoots off the lock, and him and Hurley make a break for it as the alarms start to blare.

Cut to Leverage HQ where the team on the outside talk to Nate on speakerphone.  He says Hurley told him the money is in the car but Eliot says they’ve searched it.  Sophie wonders how Nate broke him to tell.  Pan to Nate at a payphone and Burley Hurley happily munching on tacos in the background.  Sophie accuses him of enabling.  Hardison gets mad.  “I haven’t slept in three days!  I had a showdown with two different gangs who now, by the way, know my face. I sat on a bomb. And all this could have been avoided had you gave the man a taco?”  Eliot wonders why they’re don’t just toss Hurley to the cops but Nate says he’ll be dead by the end of the day if they don’t help him.  They sit quietly before Hardison tiredly asks what the plan is.

Back on the roof of the parking garage, Nate and Hurley pull up to where the Koreans and Mexicans are already waiting.  Nate assures Hurley that they won’t kill him until after they’ve got the cash.  Real assuring, Nate.  Hurley asks the gangs for a second to get the money out of the car.  He sits in the front and notices a beeping noise.  One of the Mexicans checks under the car to find the bomb ticking away.  With rapid Spanish and Korean, the gangs take cover.  Hurley actually bravely sends Nathan away and stays where he is.  The SUV explodes, seemingly with Hurley inside.  A flaming tire bounces and rolls away from the scene.  Terry Pratchett is totally right about that always happening.

“Chileans?”, the Mexican ringleader asks.  “Jamaicans.”, answers the Korean.  Hah.  They assume Hardison found the money first and kept it to himself.  The gangs split.  Nathan gets up from his cover as Sophie runs up asking if he’s alright.  Hardison, Eliot, and an unscathed Hurley come into view as well.  Hurley’s thoroughly confused and so am I, but a desaturated flashback shows how it went down.

At the payphone Nate has asked what the boys did with the Chilean’s bomb.  Eliot seems to want to keep that puppy for himself and makes a motion to Hardison who just says “Um…whyyy?”.  Then we see them hooking it back up to Hurley’s car where Hardison seems to have it on a remote control.  After Hurley sent Nate off to save himself Sophie rolled up on a wheeled pallet being pulled by Eliot.  She told Hurley to hop on and a second one is strung along behind her.  Those must have been some jacked up cars for Hurley to fit under.  The three huddled down in between two other cars as the SUV exploded.

Back in the present Hurley is amazed that “Dr. Tanner” and “Tom” worked so well together when they don’t even like each other.  He thinks they truly care.  Eliot reminds him of the missing money and Hurley confirms that he wasn’t lying about it being in the car.  They wheel up the still flaming tire and cut it open.  Steel belted radials had protected wads of Benjamins the whole time.  Sophie thinks Hurley’s got a knack for the biz.

Back in the office and the suit Hurley hands the cash over to Michelle, apologizing for the rubber smell.  She vehemently thanks Nate and Sophie with hugs but completely ignores Hurley.  Nate tells him to take the win and gives him all the important documents for his new identity.  He says they didn’t have to do that for him but they explain that they did since they kind of killed him and all in the blast.  He warns Hurley to not screw up the second chance they’ve given him.  He assures him he’s playing it straight from now on and is sticking with the support groups.
“Okay, so we have one more piece of business to do, right?”, Nathan says and Hardison agrees.

Back to the center where Parker has drawn out some intricate floor plans.  Marcie asks if it’s a movie set and Sam says he doesn’t think Parker understands the game.  Hey!  Sam can speak after all.  Rehab’s doing him some good.
Sophie comes in and identifies the Cairo Museum, Antiquities Floor.  Parker chimes “Finally!”, and points out the alarm room.  Sophie assures the nameless Doctor that this is for the best.  Parker needs to be around people who understand the issues she’s struggling with.  People more like her, as in the small weird family of kleptos and thieves and hackers and mercenaries.

The gang waits for her outside as she runs up with big smiles for everybody.  She tosses Nate her clothes and throws herself on Eliot and Hardison.  She missed them all dearly.  “When do the happy pills wear off?”, Eliot wonders.  Hardison, still crushing, kind of likes huggy Parker.  The three walk off with Parker in the middle with her arms draped over the boys.  I’m all jellas of her again, but they‘re really cute.  I like that Sophie and Nate are kind of the patriarchs and Elliot, Hardison, and Parker are the kids.  Well, maybe Eliot is Nate’s distant and recently reunited cousin or something.

“Ready to finish what you started?”, Sophie asks.   Nate sighs with a look at the rehab center.  “I’m ready for a drink.”, he answers.  Sophie huffs and follows the others.  You can’t change people, girl.  But you can show that you give a damn.

    Sam and Dean Winchester are definitively “The Boys”, to me. But just for this episode, Eliot and Hardison are going to be “the boys” of Leverage.
    YES, EXACTLY. I could not agree with you more, sistah! *fistbump*

    they need to reboot the system. “You want me to kick it?“ Eliot asks.
    Honestly? I rewound this scene all the way to the beginning the first time I watched it, and then I did it again the second time I watched it. I would watch a full hour of the Hardison & Eliot show.

    A flaming tire bounces and rolls away from the scene. Terry Pratchett is totally right about that always happening.
    HA! You wrote that line just for me, right? Right?!?

    Beautiful work. Thanks for letting me all giddy for this ep again.

      Thanks! Glad you liked it.

      “The Boys”, might stick around for more recaps than this one, we’ll see if we get more awesome Hardison/Eliot tag-teaming. They’re great together.

      HA! You wrote that line just for me, right? Right?!?

      Um, sure! I forget who’s a Pratchett fan and who isn’t. It’s now dedicated to you. :)

      • Whiteotter says:

        YAY! Hee. I adore Pratchett, so I’m always delighted to find a fellow fan, much less one who refers to him in a recap. :)

    I do like your recaps, especially when it comes to the boys – my all time fave Eliot(Chris K.) and Hardison combo. They are both so muscly (muscle-y?) and sexy and funny together or singly, aren’t they? I fell inlove with this show the first time I saw it – well, actually when I saw in an ad that Chris was on a new show before it even aired! Yeah, I’m hopeless that way.
