Oh my stars and garters I love this show. This was a perfect "bring it down" episode. I`m glad that Parker crying was at the top of the episode and the whole rest of everything was everyone trying to make it right for her. And of course it`s not all right. But I adored everyone rallying around her. I loved Eliot`s offer.
But oh, I can`t bear Parker being hurt. There`s something so strong and competent and cool about her. It just makes it doubly painful to see her confused and grieving and vulnerable.
And I also loved the moment with Hardison at the end. You can take the thief out of the con but you can`t take the thief out of the thief. Or something.
She didn't even touch her pumpkin. It's a freak with no face.

There are two episodes left this season.
Gah!
Oh, Parker. She's flirting with emotions!
When Hardison said the guy had done some time in Riverview, I thought, "No, Fox River!"

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
DYLAN MADE PARKER CRY.
Should have let Eliot beat him up, and then made him marry Brenda.

I love that everyone rallied around Parker. Also, I love the hint at her backstory. I think that we knew that she'd grown up in the foster care system, but this is the first hint of her family life before that.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Occurred to me on rewatch, funny that Eliot was ready to kill the guy, but was upset over Nate electrocuting him.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I wonder how the timing of that story works with what we know of Parker's backstory.
Maggie may not be that available for future episodes. Kari Matchett has a series on USA. I noticed a number of Psych ads during Leverage, which was weird, since they're airing opposite each other.

I noticed that too, ita, and was confused. Are TNT and USA owned by the same company?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
TNT == Warner
USA == NBC/Universal

Psych is exactly the sort of show to steal viewers from Leverage. And the numbers on Psych's premiere night might kinda reflect that. The promotion makes no sense.
