OK, much as I love LEVERAGE, they are really straining the outer bounds of already thin credulity that (a) Parker ever would have made it past voir dire to get stuck on a jury, especially with so much shenanigans going on behind the scenes, and (b) that they get away with being out there publicly without anyone keeping any record of them - Hardison as a lawyer? That would get noticed by SOMEBODY.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think the ability to create seamless IDs is just part of the premise. Parker passing as a normal human in front of a lawyer and Lauren Holly's character? Mmmhmm.

It's more that in episodes like this, they just seem a little too high-profile to keep flying under the radar going forward. Still enjoyed the episode a lot, but I hope some of this bites them a little in the future (not this episode per se, but the high-profile stuff they've been pulling).

From the preview, it looks like some shit hits the fan somewhere in the 2-part finale.

You'd be surprised what people get away with for voir dire. Especially if there's a limited jury pool.
(b) that they get away with being out there publicly without anyone keeping any record of them - Hardison as a lawyer? That would get noticed by SOMEBODY.
No, not really. There are a lot of lawyers out there. There is a small sticky wicket with having to enter your appearance and tell them your bar number, but it's not that big of a deal.

One of the best things about Damages this week was seeing the promo for Rescue Me that said it will premiere on April 7th and now the Futon Critic confirms.
The other cool thing about Damages this week was having Arthur Frobisher back.
