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

So, the money that Nate hands Kadjic at the end--a combo of his and what they magically lifted (because I don't see how they got it out) from the warehouse at the end of The Three Strikes Job? They made a point of him being skint, a point they didn't need to make.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Yeah, that's bugging me. The warehouse money was $250K, so that must be the amount they had to give Kadjic, and they had to clean out Nate's accounts to get it. None of them had the money coming out of the warehouse, and none of the rest of the team went in as far as we saw, but Sterling said they took it. I really hope Rogers tells us where the damn money went. And whether any of them have any money now.

To me, the point about Nate letting go of all his money was meant to foreshadow his plan to give himself up. He wasn't going to need it where he was going. I don't think he's got any plan to get himself out of this; I think he expects to testify and go to prison.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, that`s part of why it`s so bleak. It`s a serious sacrifice he makes for the team and he means to see it through. However I can`t see Our Team letting that stand, which means we may see a Willow dragging Buffy out of heaven scenario.
 
Not that prison is heaven to Nate. But that he`s self-identified as a Bad Guy now, and in Nate`s worldview, Bad Guys belong in jail. He expects to do his penance and come out clean. If the team springs him, he`s still on the lam, forever.
 
Also, he may expect to dry out in jail. I dunno. Nate`s a complex guy. It`s just unfortunate because he thinks he`s a simple guy and the contradiction is wreaking havoc on him.

Just watched the last two episodes, so I'm caught up! Just love the characters so much. And CK's hair, too.

Had to stop the TiVo to laugh at the fate of Louise, and Hardison's farewell to her.

Lucille.

(I just spent a good minute trying to remember who Louise was)

Lucille! Sorry. I should have remembered it was the name of Bo Diddley's guitar.

B.B. King. Because it's Theo's fate to be corrected today, apparently.

Somedays it's just not worth it to chew through the restraints.

Some googling and wikiing has now gifted me with the knowledge that Bo sometimes called it The Twang Machine, which is awesome.

He was a hardcore electronics hobbyist and built all sorts of custom wacky pickups and shit for his guitars.

The thing I love about Bo...well, there are about a dozen things I love about him, but one of the things I love about him is how he seemed to consciously pick every nerdy thing to make it cool. Like, he wore big black glasses, dressed in plaid and made a rectangular guitar. Other guys were shot for their album covers leaning on fancy cars. Bo was on a little scooter (before they were cool).

Also, he had a kickass female guitarist in his band, The Duchess.

Also, the lineup in his band was: Bo on guitar, The Duchess on guitar, a drummer and Jerome on maracas. Now that's a pretty cool core group. No bass, no keyboard, no sax.

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

He played the violin on a rock n roll record.
