Leverage: Redemption / int_1616e13	type	Ripped from the Headlines
Leverage: Redemption / int_1616e13	comment	Ripped from the Headlines: As with the original series, many cases are inspired by real-world events, and likely wouldn't be believable if they didn't actually happen. "The Too Many Rembrandts Job" is based on the Sackler family, who founded and control Purdue Pharma, and were sued for their involvement with the American opioid crisis after covering up how addictive Oxycontin could be. Multiple museum galleries had their names attached, notably in the Guggenheim. "The Card Game Job" is inspired by Martin Shkreli. Shkreli was a hedge fund manager who bought out a pharma company and raised the cost of an antiparasitic drug used by HIV+ and AIDS patients (that only they had the rights to manufacture) by a factor of 56 and was later convicted of securities fraud. He also purchased the sole rights to listen to a Wu-Tang Clan album; even this is alluded to in the episode, as one of the Plot Points is the Shkreli expy's possession of the only copy of a valuable pop-cultural artifact. "The Double-Edged Sword Job" is inspired by Clearview AI, an incredibly secretive facial recognition company that scrapes social media for photos to improve its software without the knowledge or consent of the posters or the hosting websites. The team poses as social consultants, something Mark Zuckerberg actually hired to come across as more likable during his testimony in front of Congress in the wake of the Cambridge Analytica scandal. "The Unwellness Job" is pretty clearly based on Gwyneth Paltrow's Goop, a health and lifestyle brand started by a B-list actress that comes under fire due to heavy use of products based on pseudoscience. RIZ is inspired by real organizations such as Blackwater. One storyline was not ripped from the headlines, as it aired far too soon after the event in question for it to have been intentional. "The Tower Job" was not taken from the collapse of the condo in Miami, Florida. Orpheus Grove is based off of the Bohemian Grove, the meeting place of the Bohemian Club, a fraternal club whose membership includes presidents such as Richard Nixon and Ronald Regan. The Good Stewart Trucking company from "The Big Rig Job" bears more than a passing resemblance to the saga of Arrow Trucking, a real-life trucking company founded by a man who treated his employees like family, before his son inherited the company, defrauded it, and eventually drove it into bankruptcy. Magiq Baby from "The Pyramid Job" could be based off of any number of Multi-Level Marketing entities, but bears the closest resemblance to LuLaRoe, being that it's led by a husband and wife team, sells clothing, and hosts frequent live-streams.

Leverage: Redemption / int_2dc0d2bf	comment	Hidden Depths: Dennis, Eliot's coworker from "The Rollin' on the River Job", is a gullible security guard with dreams of action movie heroism, but he has a good heart and also makes a damn fine carrot cake. In order to slow down the mark in "The Double-Edged Sword Job", a programmer and former game designer, Harry pretends to be a fan of one of his games, Dozer Duels, and asks for help with a level he's stuck on. At the end of the episode, Breanna points out the stuff he was referencing got patched out of Dozer Duels a long time ago and realizes Harry really is a fan of the game. "The Double-Edged Sword Job" reveals that in the time gap between the two series, Parker and Eliot have learned Klingon. Parker (presumably) because she was dating Hardison, and Eliot because Hardison bet him that he couldn't. Breanna isn't fully sure if Hardison really "lost" that bet. "The Bucket Job" shows Breanna is a much bigger fan of antique computers and technology than one would expect of a young hacker, geeking out at the sight of an old school big block PC and happily receiving a vintage Nintendo 64 for Christmas. "The Unwellness Job" reveals Harry has a surprisingly thorough understanding of cryptocurrency. "The Grand Train Job" reveals Harry keeps a lot of chemical testing equipment on hand, having grown suspicious of what ends up in food after his firm took a case involving cobalt-tainted beer. He also has a bailout bag with duct tape and plastic tarp, which causes Eliot to wonder if he might be a serial killer.

Leverage: Redemption / int_3ed23024	type	Surprisingly Realistic Outcome
Leverage: Redemption / int_3ed23024	comment	Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Harry is introduced trying to steal his client's painting as retribution; despite what seems to be a clever plan he's not an experienced thief and thus makes an easy mistake. After Parker comes across an invisible laser grid in one episode, Hardison helps walk her through it via an infrared camera. At one point, Parker has to bend over backwards one of the lasers. Hardison bends backwards to follow her movements as best as he can, but a) he's nowhere near as flexible as Parker, and b) he forgot to stretch beforehand, so after a few seconds of holding the pose, there's a loud 'SNAP" and Hardison spends the rest of the episode moving with an obvious limp. Hardison created a program that wipes any trace of the team from the Internet and then gives them perfect cover identities. Eliot's cover is blown because a security consultant saw a picture of Eliot from his mercenary days and remembered his face. As good as he is, Hardison cannot hack people's memories. Nate never fully kicked his alcoholism (only managed it) and spent years holding onto his anger until he retired. Stress and drinking over a long period of time is never good for one's health. This plus his age and it's really not surprising to learn that in the intervening years Nate has died. Harry worked for a law firm of Amoral Attorneys who cover their bases: even though the accusation was made by a man who has been accused of fraud, the firm fires Harry and his boss immediately confiscates all of his client files. During a fight, Breanna attempts to help by smacking Eliot's opponent in the back of the head with a wooden pole. Of course, with her being a young hacker with the physical prowess that implies, the pole just bounces off the guy's back without so much as a crack, only serving to make her a target. Harry tries to help Eliot in a fight in one episode by hitting a guy with his car. Unfortunately, it's a modern car with anti-collision sensors and automatic braking, so Harry skids to a stop inches from actually hitting the guy. In The Belly Of The Beast Job, the team's use of Themed Aliases based on Doctor Who bites them in the ass when the mark's assistant recognizes the regularly used 'Lethbridge-Stewart' alias as a reference. Someone was bound to recognize it eventually, given that it has a fandom millions strong, even outside of the UK.

Leverage: Redemption / int_4b17763f	comment	Technology Marches On: Played for Laughs In-Universe. Breanna finds Hardison's hacker skills as a hacker a bit too dated and finds her Gadgeteer Genius skills as a "maker" are more relevant. Subverted in the show proper, where she basically serves as a Suspiciously Similar Substitute in skills to Hardison, though not in narrative, where she and Harry essentially serve as "The Kids". Hardison previously needed an entire van (Lucille and, later, Lucille 2.0) to house the team's field equipment. Since the original team parted ways, computer technology has advanced to the point that Hardison was able to turn every one of Eliot's food trucks into a "Lucille" (thanks to a hideaway compartment in the back), allowing the team to work internationally. In "The Walk In The Woods Job", Breanna manages to drum up massive support for an endangered species of frog in the space of a single afternoon by simply creating a website for it, something which the woman championing the cause had failed to do. This actually helps get Orpheus Grove shut down because it's revealed that one massive reason the frog was endangered was the fact that members of the Grove were urinating into their spawning grounds.

However, the Leverage team discovers that Whitcomb has been carelessly and illegally disposing of the batteries for his electric cars, resulting in a couple of farmers becoming sick and their crops dying.

"The Muddy Waters Job": GulfPetrol, an oil company which had recently gotten into trouble due to oil spills. Their new CEO Ethan Bradford was brought in to take care of any leaks and received great praise for pushing the company in a green energy direction. However, it is ultimately revealed that this is all just media spin; Gulf Petrol's new oil platform Hyperion has been leaking after being damaged by a mud slide and Gulf Petrol will do anything to cover it up, even going as far as destroying their own oil rig to hide evidence of the leaks, killing their own employees in the process. "The Fractured Job": Eliot's hometown has been hit by earthquakes and illness from tainted water ever GreenSlate Energy set up a fracking operation in the town. The team's investigation shows that GreenSlate has been doing everything they can to hide evidence that their operation is causing harm. This includes attacking Eliot's father to silence him, paying off the environmental company hired to report on GreenSlate's environmental impact and getting the Attorney General who has invested money in them to help cover up their malpractices.

But Tara was an experienced grifter whose struggle for rapport stemmed from an unfamiliarity with how Leverage operates and her status as a Consummate Professional, whereas Breanna is an admittedly skilled but still inexperienced hacker and Gadgeteer Genius whose issue is that she's trying to fill her brother Hardison's shoes and impress her idol Parker at the same time. Harry Wilson to Nate Ford. Nate was the Mastermind and leader of the group while Harry is new to the group. Both men are driven to help people but while Nate was fueled partly by a need for vengeance as well as justice, Harry is legitimately The Atoner. This is actually related to the key difference: both men are fathers but while Nate's son died before the series, Harry's daughter is very much alive.

Without Nate, they don't have the Xanatos Speed Chess skills to handle as well. "The Tower Job" sees the whole thing nearly ruined when one of the marks walks right into the room the team was using as a base as she was hoping for a hookup with her assistant. "The Card Game Job" gets more complicated when the reclusive CEO who hasn't been seen in years suddenly appears after receiving word someone wants to buy his company and he's become disillusioned with the business. "The Bucket Job" has the team doing a good deed by making a dying librarian think he's living out a spy adventure. What could go wrong? Well, first, a batch of real spies get mixed up in this...because it turns out the "librarian" is a retired spy himself who doesn't know what's part of the game and what's real. "The Harry Wilson Job" has the team's plans ruined by not knowing Hardison had his team running a con on the same mark with the two teams' plans clashing too much so they both have to start all over.

Fletcher Maxwell, from the two-part introductory episode "The Too Many Rembrandts Job" and "The Panamanian Monkey Job", sold a very addictive pain medication (specifically to Returning War Vets) despite numerous warnings. When he's caught, all he cares about is his reputation as an art patron (not as a businessman); rather than fairly compensate his victims, he tries to "grind them down" through pointless litigation. "The Rollin' On the River Job": The owner of a riverboat casino forces out almost an entire neighborhood just so he can buy up the land cheap and expand his operations into a gambling empire, while also using his operations to launder money for the Russian Mob. "The Card Game Job" deals with the owner of a Big Pharma company who raises the price of the life-saving treatment for a rare disease, not caring that the majority of its sufferers are children. On top of that, the end of the episode reveals that he's been accepting government funding to find a cure for said disease when he already has one and has kept it a secret simply because treating the disease is more profitable than the cure. The mark from "The Jackal Job" makes his living by getting a corrupt judge to sign over elderly citizens who can't take care of themselves over to him as their Elder Guardian, selling all their stuff, and dumping them in a retirement home within the week.

The client of the episode actually finds it easier to believe that she's being haunted by her great aunt’s ghost than two men are Gaslighting her as part of a real estate scam.

Fletcher Maxwell (from "The Too Many Rembrandts Job" and "The Panamanian Monkey Job") sells an opioid that he knows is addictive. Jim Cordozar (from "The Card Game Job") raises the price of a life-saving treatment for a rare disease and then keeps the cure a secret simply to make more profits. It's played straight twice: Maxwell is easily framed for insurance fraud and art forgery because everyone thinks he's not above it, while Cordozar both has the cure lost to all his competitors (since he didn't patent it) and is facing jail time for accepting funds to research a cure he already had.

Leverage: Redemption / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: Hardison refers to the team's re-recruitment of Sophie as "Getting the gang back together, like Star Trek," while giving Mariner's backward Vulcan salutes. Eliot joins in by referencing the Star Trek Movie Curse: Sophie and Hardison introduce themselves as "Jo Grant" and "Alistair Lethbridge-Stewart". Sophie's alias in "The Paranormal Hacktivity Job" is "Estella Havisham". The episode title is a play on Paranormal Activity. "The Card Game Job" has its creator loosely based on Richard Garfield, with a hilarious reference to George R. R. Martin in the middle of the episode. There's also a moment when Breanna is playing said card game with the Villain of the Week, and he throws down a Blue-Eyed Dragon. Extra points for him also being a ruthless CEO who only cares about winning and has a penchant for a mystical card game. According to Parker in the first episode, Hardison says they are living in the darkest timeline. We retroactively learn the name of Nate and Sophie's go-to characterization for cons (loudly arguing husband/wife team to distract the mark from anything else going on): "The Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?". When Sophie runs into a rather unsavory mark in one episode that touches on her sensitivities, she declares "She tasks me...she tasks me and I shall have her." Followed not too long after by a "Clever girl" when said mark manages to wiggle her way out of a sticky situation. There is a reference to Lee Tae-Joon–who leads the team in the Korean adaptation of the original series–and Roy Ryu–that show's equivalent of Eliot. "The Tournament Job" in Season 2 is full of references to video game culture; at one point, background characters are said to be Ninja Running, while Sophie says that the game they're basing their grift on needs its own "EVO Moment 37" to make it big. Also, their client's name is Tam, and they use the handle River in the game they're playing.
