The drinking is oooohh bad. Not just because of the alcoholism, but because of what sort of boss he is when he's drinking. At least Sophie's not here to see it. Yet.

Nate is scary when he drinks. Yeesh.

Cute to see Hardison went back to crime while they were on a break. For fun and nothing else, since they're still loaded.

That was amusing.

I think I love Hardison more than pie.

Where do I go for screencaps of his back? Damn.

And Parker and Eliot keep being cute together. My OT3 is getting jealous. Hardison needs some together time.

For serious! OT3s are tricky that way. There needs to be equal chemistry, so there needs to be together time.
 
I was so upset with Nate taking that drink. I kept hoping that it would turn out the girl had slipped him non-alcoholic stuff and he was all placebo effect. That still would have been bad and he still would have had to deal with the consequences of choosing to take that drink, but it wouldn't have been this bad.

On the lighter side though, this is the sort of show that makes me wish we still had a quotables thread.
 
Also! Why didn't they have 15 grand available if they're still rich? Did they explain it with the time limit?

I think it was a time thing. But I also think that Bastard Nate would have wanted to pull a con anyway since he's all about the punishmentjustice.

I was hoping at the end that when Hardison was trying to distract Nate it was about distracting him from drinking the shot presented--they did all look balefully at it, didn't they? But then it turns out to be that he has to fix Nate's apartment, and everyone else just bails! Are they all done with trying to fix him?

Yeah, that's what I thought too. They need Sophie back. She's Nate's conscience, but she is theirs, too. She's how they look out for each other.

Also! Why didn't they have 15 grand available if they're still rich? Did they explain it with the time limit?

It was getting the cash that was the issue. They could get 15k, just not in cash.

Okay, and then later they wanted to take him out of the picture entirely so that required a lot. And I guess it was still a short timeframe and after bankers' hours.
 
The other thing I thought was interesting was the introduction of the cops. Will they recur, I wonder? With ongoing con shows I always wonder about the cops element. It seems like there would always be stuff coming home to roost. And those guys sure knew who Nate was. Seems like he'd be on their radar now, even if they let this one slide.

Oh I just loved that episode. Did I hear a Dropkick Murphys song?
