Now seven episodes in to the new season,
Leverage finally feels back with the new characters properly integrated and all put to use in "The Double-Edged Sword Job." After one of their previous clients who Leverage helped hide years ago comes to them in a panic after being found by her abusive ex-husband, the team starts investigating a nearby town's enhanced security system which, if it goes global, could mean the end of privacy. Unable to attack the system, the team instead targets its high-strung creator (
Lawrence Kao) hoping to derail the sale and keep it out of the hands of those who would abuse it for their own ends.
Where some of
Leverage: Redemption episodes have felt at times like they were made on the cheap, the budget here is put to good use in "The Double-Edged Sword Job" as they hack the creator in order to take down his smart house. Everybody gets to do something here including
Sophie (
Gina Bellman) and
Parker (
Beth Riesgraf) grifting as a pair of consultants, Harry (
Noah Wyle) choking out a guard, and Eliot (
Christian Kane) acting as bait. Eliot's short time in lockup does introduce him to a local US Marshall (
Andrea Navedo) who, let's say, has a very distinctive reaction to their encounter. Could love be in the air?
