The Long Con Leverage Consulting & Assoc

We bid a fond farewell to our beloved show in one final series wrap up. Listen in as we discuss all of our favorite characters, relationships, cons, and moments from the last five years. Thanks for listening, everyone!

The team finds out the reason that Nate brought them to Portland, and the information he and Hardison has been hiding from them this season. Nate wants to find the Black Book, a record of a huge scam that the government covered over when the rich and powerful managed to steal 1/3rd of the world’s wealth. This was their Mount Everest of scams, and the episode works backwards as we’re lead to believe Nate’s gotten the whole team killed instead. He’s taken in by Interpol and reunites with Sterling. Little does the team know that this is their last heist together, just like we didn’t know at the time that it aired. Was this a satisfying conclusion? How many call backs do you think you missed? And who wants to be invited to Sophie and Nate’s wedding? All that and more on this episode of Leverage.

Nate channels Chelsea and hates on Christmas.  Sophie swims with the sharks.  Parker picks the creepiest doll ever manufactured in a sweatshop.  Eliot deals with having a son named Dashel who plays with dolls.  And Hardison feels a lot. All that and more on this episode of Leverage.

The team get involved in a winery after one of the workers dies unexpectedly, and his daughter says the lawyers tried to pay her off. They investigate the owner, Frank Madigan, who plans to make a huge profit off the business no matter what the cost to other people. He has a very rare and expensive bottle of wine in his collection owned by Thomas Jefferson, but if they steal it, he’ll just get the insurance money. Instead they decide to pass the real bottle off as a fake and ruin his reputation. Would you buy wine from Sophie? Does Hardison do a good Gollum impression? All that and more on this episode of Leverage.

The crew try to make an Inception of their own on a CEO, Charlie Dodgson, who seems determined to destroy his own business by neglect and  apathy. They pull the White Rabbit job, a grifter con where the mark is tricked into thinking he’s dreaming vividly when he’s not. Things change when Charlie seems to recognize Parker in his dream as someone he once cared for, and they get deeper into why he wants to destroy his life. What would be in your White Rabbit dream? Was this finally resolution for Parker over her brother’s death? All that and more on this episode of Leverage!

Eliot asks the team to help him save a small town. A big corporation is coming in with a super store and causing all the local businesses to close. Eliot’s personally invested because he came from a small town himself and his father owned a shop. The team goes up against Caroline Cowan, a businesswoman from corporate who is there to make sure everything goes smoothly. She seems able to block them at every turn. Can David take down the Goliath? Will Eliot ever reconcile with his father? And will we be able to save our beloved show? All that and more on this episode of Leverage.
