See, Nate could have told Hardison what he was gonna do with the mind control. But he's a prick.

I loved Eliot's slide kick in the Inside Job. Hawt. Loved his outfit too.

Electric Nate/Sophie moment there at the start of the ep too. Nate blanching when Sophie told him he was still working off the slap, plus the hotness of their proximity...

But Hardison and Parker shone in their respective episodes. Great stuff.

The hypnosis stuff really bothered me too. Nate's gonna be lucky if Hardison comes back, I think. (In fact, I almost wish that they would have to do a job with no Hardison, but it's probably just going to be lost by the wayside.)

Can you really hypnotize someone without them realizing it happened?

Can you really hypnotize someone without them realizing it happened?

It seems to be part of the premise, that you can tell them to forget you ever did it.

I'm sure Hardison will be back, and we'll get a different dynamic between them. Proper mentoring perhaps.

Can you really hypnotize someone without them realizing it happened?

supposedly yes with a really suggestible person.

A lot of mind control going on this season. Nate hypnotizing Hardison, Sophie neurolinguistically programming Eliot...

I think it's hysterical (and perfectly logical) that Hardison is a prime target.

My understanding of hypnosis us that you need a willing subject and you can't make them do something they don't want to do. But you also can't blast a perfect circle through six inches of concrete and drop someone to the floor below so I'm filing the hypnosis with my usual Leverage suspension of disbelief.

Well, brushing away the cobwebs on Hardison's skill is hardly making him do something he doesn't want to do.

right, but irl he would remember being hypnotized.
