This second episode of #LeverageRedemption introduces the second new member of the #LeverageVerse: #BreannaCasey portrayed by #AleyseShannon. Breanna is #AlecHardison's younger foster sister, who built a drone and tracked down Hardison and the others on a con in Panama City. #HarryWilson portrayed by #NoahWyle, who was introduced in the first episode in this new series, has been working with the #RobinHoodlums on the con, so now the #LeverageTeam consists of 6 members. #SophieDevereaux portrayed by #GinaBellman, is the temporary leader of the pack. #AlecHardison (#AldisHodge) and #Parker (#BethRiesgraf) are still partners after all these years. Parker and #EliotSpencer (#ChristianKane) usually pair up to visit the 12 teams throughout the world which make up #LeverageInternational. Eliot and Hardison continue the brotherly love, including the season's second "Dammit Hardison!" from Eliot. I have mentioned in other reviews that I personally like Eliot and the trio (Eliot, Parker, and Hardison) best, so my focus is on them when I watch and in my reviews. I love the trio dynamic in this series so far, with those 3 closer and more comfortable with each other, 9+ years after Eliot said he would protect the other two "until my dyin' day." All three are supporting Sophie in her grief and letting Sophie run things as a "distraction" for her #Leverage idioms carried over from the original series: "Dammit Hardison!"-"Let's go steal a ..."-"Has a distinctive sound"-Eliot throwing an orange (usually a rock) and hitting something-Parker loving her vents and caressing every new safe to be cracked-and others. Those nuggets are worked into this episode, not forced or by checklist, just by habit of what works. With Hardison away, removing two of the three trio pairings, it leaves the Eliot-Parker pairing stronger than ever. Loving this #LeverageRedemption series!
