During the original #Leverage series 5-year run, each season ended with a 2-part episode that ties up all loose ends and provides a "conclusion" of sorts to that year's season episodes. That practice was implemented because the producers never knew whether the show would be renewed until AFTER filming the last episode for the year, and they didn't want to leave the fans with an unresolved cliff-hanger. #LeverageRedemption continues this practice - for the same reason - with #TheMuddyWatersJob / #TheHarryWilsonJob 2-part season-ender. This episode has quite a few loose ends to tie up - #HarryWilson's ex-wife and daughter are finally shown, #EliotSpencer's love interest wants to know what Eliot really does (for which he actually asked for #Parker's relationship advice, showing a lot of growth in Parker), some close (and some funny) interactions between #SophieDevereaux and #HarryWilson, and a tempting offer for Sophie to return to the London stage as a director. #BreannaCasey's growth throughout this first season is displayed in this episode through her "strike" and how well Breana and Parker worked together on the oil rig tech. This episode ends with three shocking developments: (1) Harry's ex-wife has no intention of leaving her current husband despite all the evidence Harry uncovered about his shady dealings; (2) the oil rig is destroyed by fire, killing 4 workers whom Eliot recognizes as friends at his "baby shower" party; and (3) Harry has moved out of the #Leverage house (I didn't know he actually lived there) and has offered his services to RIZ. All is set for a fantastic season-ender. Fingers and toes crossed that it is not a series ender.
