No but I just realized what Harry says about Sophie seeming happier when she's "got someone on the string" is, like, INCREDIBLY similar to Eliot telling Nate "guy like you can't be out of the game"
And for both of them they're working through their grief over losing someone they care about by committing crimes for a cause

Leverage: Redemption SPOILERS
When Hardison asked Parker if she remembered that split from that one time on vacation while guiding her through the visually undetectable laser grid and knew she knew what he was talking about and when Parker smiled that mischievous smile with a knowing look and LITERALLY DROPPED INTO THAT SPLIT LET ME TELL YOU I SCREAMED

Leverage Redemption Log: The Panamanian Monkey Job
Look i know we're going to Panama because of last episodes ending tease/it being a 2 parter. But can we just agree that sometimes the writers just pull words out of a hat and call it a title? --- Seriously that Location Establishment Font is horrible. The point of an establishing shot is to show the place we're at and that is the opposite of what your font is doing. --- Harry named-for-a-volleyball is returning to his old place of work to be a suitable distraction to let Leverage Inc slip by to steal his old client-list or something. (i think that the team is still "inc"and the big alliance of other teams working with/beneath them is International? feel free to correct me)
obligatory "evil lawyer joke" and we're scarcely a minute in. Parker making Neigh-noises as she removes the horse painting. 10/10. (Lola also gets a 10/10, it would be cool)
Oh the tax-evasion supervault has a brochure, how quaint. ominous mini-spydrone. (It's either introducing Hardisons understudy cause actor is busy, or actually spying? Im betting on its a fake-out) --- Ok the Panama City Courthouse is a phrase with words long enough that it forces the letters to get vertically smaller and make space between the words so we can actually us see between the letters. Which is a mercy, but unless we're about to spend half a season in LLanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch I do expect this font-styling to be a persistent nuisance. (apologies to the Welsh if there's a typo in there.) --- "blackouts, memory loss, deja vu" saw that punchline coming but its a classic.
just walk into the money laundering operation and start burning things. Simple and effective. Sophie seems to think she's getting too old for this, (think she might switch from frontline grifter to a more Nate-like organiser, carry on her husbands legacy sort of thing)
Elliot hears the drone.
Hardisons sister (read replacement) has a really dead stare...
"I teach every kid i meet how to do crime" That you do,
"one of us gets cover blown, they just kill us. But Harry, he reads like a fed. They'd torture him first. Gives us time to save him." You're not wrong Elliot, but you shouldnt say it. --- "I did not go through the trouble of making the only place in the world where its legal to store illegal property for you to cut corners". Time for a security exposition dump Basement has only 1 way in (elevator, or so he claims Parker is a Vent Enthuisiast) On site and off-site camera monitoring facilities (other in the Philipines) (could be a simple footage loop?) No drilling (seismic sensors, easy to trip=Boy Who Cried Wolf protocol. IE: Sheherezade Job.)
7/10 on the Tickle Yourself gag. Reduced to 4/10by the "dribble a football" (you can dribble a football, Handeggs are a bit tougher though) EDM festival next-door is a go-go. The monkey is the name and logo of a fake animal protection group that is faking outrage about a non-existent DJ playing a non-existent birthday party so they can be shamed by Sophie into playing at a non-existent benefit concert for an existent monkey. --- Creepy goons want to interogate Partyplanner Hackergirl whose name i have already forgotten (im bad at names allright,)
We're not busted, he's just asking why there is a sudden EDM rave nextdoor to his legal "illegal-things" storage. (understandable, bad form of the rest of the team to leave the newbie alone)
Turns out that Warcrimes George is a fan of "legally-not-Deadmouse". (why were we in Tokyo? Oh right *mimes headshot* great show) I have never liked an antagonist who was not meant to be sympathetic to this degree before. Ok so Deadmouse better show up or he's gonna face-shoot her.
--- Opioidrefugee is meeting in the park, guard negotiates him up to 8 million
Huh, the vault operator actually has an apparently semi-decent arguement for his own morality. (giving the tyrants a way to exit the stage into retirement means they have the option of peacefull retirement, and if even 1% of tyrants takes it, thats thousands of civilians not dying in civil wars as they cling to power.) like he's not a good person certainly, but you can argue a moral grey-ness in his business-operations there.
--- Harry sees Maxwell as he leaves... Hardison drills the roof, Breanna mans the phone. Elliot is in the vents (cause the elevator is broken)
Invisible lasers (thank god they're invisible for once) cause a throuple-fight with Hardison and Elliot.
turn of the lock turns the lasers off, and now Maxwell is pointing a gun at Parker.
--- neck-slap unconcious, Maxwell is in the vault... which is laced with explosives we're about to blow up. (making it seem like he blew up a vault full of every dictator and crooks secret stashes. Might be the evilest frame-up this show's ever done) "three of them have armies, one of them has Nukes" Well he's certainly right, that does sound like a "run for the rest of your lives" situation.
Hardison bought the theatre. Tearfull goodbye is imminent. Hardison claims that at least a dozen crews consider Parker a mom.
Sophie is officially out of retirement.

If anyone has any good screen shots of parker's outfit (more specifically, the black and yellow skirt) at the end of the Panamanian monkey job I would greatly appreciate it if you could share those with me!

Eliot, sir, you seem way too happy about that possibility.

kinda soft for how at the end of the panamanian monkeys job hardison goes up to harry and says "i need you to help me with something, man" and harry--two episodes into knowing these people, who have not been shy of their opinion of him (at this point, sort of affectionately disdainful?? this isn't a criticism i'm just pointing out they've literally talked about bonking him on the head, wiping his accounts/credit score/whatever, and dumping him in venezuela in front of him lol) and his immediate response--all soft, too--is a completely earnest and sincere "anything, anytime". like. a) i love harry and hardison's interactions SO so so much. i think they're probably my two favorite leverage characters and i also just love every interaction they have, even though it's not a lot. b) harry is SO ride or die SO fast. and like i get it, in many ways--especially in his eyes--they saved him. but like also. he's so funny. he got adopted/stolen by a group of thieves and he rolls with everything SO fast. he's just like yeah okay this happening now! yay! :) dflkjgglkhjh

Hi, I love your post about the Leverage Lesbian! I've watched Leverage before, so I know the show, but I'm not caught up... would the story make sense if I only watched her episodes? And which one are they? :)
Oh, I'm so glad you're discovering Breanna! She's such an incredible character and she brings such a fresh, unique energy to the show. It's impossible not to fall in love with her.
So Breanna Casey, Hardison's foster sister, is a new member of the team in the revival series Leverage: Redemption. She's introduced in season 1 episode 2 (The Panamanian Monkeys Job) and is in most of the following episodes except 12 and 13. She plays a significant role whenever she's present, showing her journey as she grows and learns vigilante crime and justice as part of her new found family.
If you don't have time for the whole season, I suggest watching her introduction in Ep. 2 and any of these Breanna-focused episodes:
Ep. 3 The Rollin' on the River Job: Breanna's first job as the official hacker of the team with Hardison being away
Ep. 5 The Paranormal Hacktivity Job: Breanna, Parker, and Sophie's Halloween adventure
Ep. 6 The Card Game Job: Breanna in all her nerdy glory (an absolute must)
Ep. 7 The Double Edged Sword Job: Breanna vs evil tech dude
Ep. 11 The Jackal Job: I don't wanna spoil anything, but something very LGBTQ happens
Ep. 14 The Great Train Job: the one I referenced in the post you liked, where Breanna meets Emily Yoo, a cute and brilliant engineer, in another very LGBTQ episode
Each of those has a self-contained plot, so you'll be able to keep up. But honestly her entire arc throughout the show of growing from Hardison's little sister trying hard to fit in with the crew to becoming a confident, dependable full-fledged member of the team is a beautiful thing to witness. I think you're gonna love her.

okay but the parallel between hardison using eliot as an example of redemption to harry in the panamanian monkey job and eliot saying he could never be redeemed (and he’s made peace with that) to sophie in the finale

Treehouse Living
Our first week in Costa Rica has been spent living in a treehouse type of accommodation. And yes, it was on purpose! We are on the southeastern coast, (close to the Panamanian border), on the Caribbean. So far, there are no big resorts, and there still remains a laid back vibe. This area is home to the howler monkey, the whiteface monkey, lots of lizards, (including iguanas), and sloths. Although we have yet to see a sloth, we have seen, (and heard), lots of monkeys. Every morning, around 5am, we are awakened by these little monkeys with BIG voices! The first photo was taken this morning from my bed, the other two are from yesterday on our porch. Yes, they’re THAT close!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
As you can see, they’re not terribly large, yet their howl, (more like a roar), can be heard up to 5kms away! They would make excellent PE teachers, lol! We are constantly entertained by them, watching them move from branch to branch, carrying their babies on their backs, and even howling. They live in the treetops, so you would rarely encounter one on the jungle floor. In another post, I’ll put up a video of the howling, but don’t expect to see anything but jungle…really it’s the audio that’s amazing.
On one of our beach walks, in Cahuita National Park, we came across some white faced monkeys. They’re much quieter, but perhaps also a bit more used to humans than our howlers here at the treehouse.
Tumblr media
Our treehouse has been an amazing stay, although while it’s luxurious for a treehouse, it’s not a 5 star place, so if that’s what you need, this isn’t the place for you. However, for me, it’s been just right. We have our queen size bed, a bathroom with a shower, and a bit to spartan a kitchen, meaning that all we really can cook here is breakfast, and a ceiling fan that does the job of allowing us to enjoy a good night’s sleep.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Lastly, here are a few beach shots. This area is known for surfing, so it’s been a bit challenging to find swim spots, but we found a few!

You can find out lots more about the howler monkeys by going to the website above and searching for howler monkeys, Costa Rica.

I've decided I'm not allowed to get impatient with myself over the fic I'm writing. The fact that it's slow and tough to write is a feature, not a bug, because it's basically a chew toy I threw at my brain to keep it occupied until I can work on my novel again.
It's also a writing exercise that's going to expand my skills in certain directions, as most things I write these days turn out to be in the end. There are certain ways I relate to the characters because of course there are, but they are also very different from me in some key ways I haven't fully grappled with before.
I'm enjoying the research heavy nature of the story. Yesterday I had to go back and watch the beginning of the Panamanian monkey job for timeline purposes and I forgot how much I genuinely like that episode because I haven't set any fic actually during the episode. I also did some medical research for plot reasons. Today at work I decided what my new OC does for a living and tonight I will probably research that!

When Eliot has to (reluctantly) go through the vents, he complains "Don't they ever clean these things?" even though it was usually Hardison who complained about dust and dirt on the job (including freaking out about dust mites in the vents).
Conclusion: Eliot's primary vent experience is from their own home's vents ("vent practice"), and Parker keeps those vents fastidiously clean and dust-free for her boys to make hanging out in the vents with her as appealing to them as possible.
