Distraction from an Attraction

Warning: Spoilers
Review - The Leaper Details are not aplenty in this episode, as assumptions are necessary, but the gist of Lester's gig on the ledge was to distract from a diamond heist occurring simultaneously with attention given to the human fly allowing the escape of the diamond thieves. Sam and Chop were in on the robbery, details not provided, but the thieves were well known to Pete and Jacoby. The diamonds had not been fenced but for Gussie to inquire about Lester getting paid tips off Sam and Chop somethings afoot. The gun play at the marina is a little curious when Atlas the strongman loses to Pete, but maybe we are to believe Sam couldn't swim. Worth a view for Jean Carson's role as Pearl, that voice! Good cast along with the regulars made for a good episode, even though I would like to have seen Jacoby be lent a hand after being shot.
