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.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Oh I just loved that episode. Did I hear a Dropkick Murphys song?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Probably? I assume all Irish punk is Dropkick Murphys or Flogging Molly.

On the lighter side though, this is the sort of show that makes me wish we still had a quotables thread.
Oh hell yeah!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Nate had to drink while he was betting with Doyle, or Doyle would've walked away, though. Nate was being real good, just letting the drink sit there and not touching it, until Doyle called him out on it.
Tim Hutton played that little scene perfectly, too. The slightly shaky hand when he picks it up, the moment of just breathing it in, and the closed eyes and look of pure blissful relief when the first drink goes down... That reminds me, I'm out of whiskey.
It was cute, too, how he looked around for Eliot before he drank it, then tried to hide the second drink from him. That's an interesting relationship those two have.
Scary Drunk Nate is scary. We haven't seen the last of him, either, I'm sure. When he slammed Doyle on the table and broke his fingers, I cheered. I'm a bad person. Nate's pretty scary sober, too, though; he's got the brains, the experience, the means, and the will to destroy people he's barely met, without laying a hand on them (unless he wants to).
So much good in this episode. I have to watch it again to savor it.

I expected him to say "Okay, I'm a little bit like my dad".

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
