They very much need the team. Which means they need Nate. They look at him balefully, but the follow his plans. They also need Sophie to mitigate him.
Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Should they worry that Sophie has been completely silent for so long now? For a while she'd been in touch by phone or by webcam, but now she's not even returning their calls.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Crazy drunk scary Nate is scary. What is it going to take to straighten him out? Poor Nate. I volunteer to spank him. It won't help him, of course, but it'll do me a world of good.
I'm really hoping they wrap this story up next week. I can't handle a cliff-hanger that lasts until summer.
Actually, right now I'm having a hard time imagining "summer".

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, I know I`m doing an absence makes the heart grow fonder thing with Sophie, but her absence has been good for my perception of her character. Nate needs Sophie, and the team needs Nate to have Sophie around. I`d say it is worrisome that they haven`t heard from her at all.

They heard from her last week. She had them hang up the call when Nate came in, so she may be avoiding only him. Perhaps precisely because of the drunken onslaught of whiny messages telling her how to lead her life so she could come back and fix him. For free.
At which point he won't let her.

Loved Tara grabbing the shot out of Nate's hand and downing it herself. She sees what is going on, doesn't want to get involved and yet...
I'm still in a baseball player Eliot induced happy place. And NO ONE should chop the hair. During batting practice, you could see his mental thoughts (Ohhh, another way to hit things. Hard.) Happy place, I'm telling ya.

Eliot only uses violence as a reasonable response.
...to everything.

Totally didn't see Sterling coming.
YAY Sterling.
I normally love Kane's hair, but I agree it's a little bit too much this ep

I'm still annoyed by the Interpol thing. There's no way that they would just invite him to join Interpol because he had a good case.

Perhaps he'd applied for a job there previously and the high profile case tipped things over.
