From talking to John about the future possibilities of their relationship I'm pretty sure they're not there yet.
How many kisses have they had that had nothing to do with the case? I remember Hardison getting rattled twice (once in the basement, and once in Lucille, but those were cons).
Interesting to me that Nate said "you can't con a con artist" where in every episode of Hustle the premise is "you can't con an honest person." Leverage operates on the premise that you totally can, and in all honestly, haven't they conned some con artists?
That jumped out at me, too (my actual thought when he said it was "I wonder what ita ! thinks about that", since we had had that discussion re: Hustle), but then I decided it was less of a basic axiom (as Hustle's seems to be) and more a jumping off point to get to "let's use this guys vigilance against him".
Eta parenthetical aside
Isn't this the first time Hardison has kissed Parker? In the past, she has kissed him as part of a con, but I don't recall him doing the same.
And that kiss was so awkward and lovely that I can't imagine that it's gone any further.
Yes. This.
I think I assumed more solely based on them holding hands in The Van Gogh Job. Or something.
I'm fine with the idea that they haven't gone that far, though.
I was just so proud of Aldis Hodge in that episode -- he did such a fantastic job. HARDISON. And Beth Riesgraf, too! That shuddery sigh in the cemetery before she walked away ... MY HEART.
Isn't this the first time Hardison has kissed Parker?
As far as my memory serves, yes.
Yeah, Amy, Aldis was on fire. Every tear... And Beth's voice breaking on "my friend!" was too adorable.
I haven't seen a kiss on the cheek be that hot in a long time. Just saying.
I think it was The Others where I fell for Gabriel Macht, but he's doing some wicked things to my hormones right now. And it's not like he's not acting against Gina Torres. Meghan Markle is slightly beautiful. And Patrick J Adams is so cute!
