Great episode! Great energy! Created another episode with loving bickering between Parker and Eliot as well as a reprisal of the US Marshall. My hats off to the cast for suffering through a week of night shoots in a rain simulator but it really added to the urgency of the plot. I was expecting more of a twist at the end, but the chemistry of our heroes (and the villains of the week) made up for it. Bonus, really enjoyed the easter eggs within the B plot. It made the hospital shenanigans a fun addition.

I have been looking forward to #TheHurricaneJob when I read that it was an #EliotSpencer (#ChristianKane) and #Parker (#BethRiesgraf) episode. They are 2 of my 3 favorite characters in #LeverageRedemption (with #AlecHardison (#AldisHodge) being the third). Like some other episodes in the back-8, it started darkly, with a vicious attack by two cops on an unarmed man. The switch being a white cop, a Black cop, and an Hispanic man. This is a #Leverage staple "pairing" episode, with #SophieDevereaux (#GinaBellman) and #HarryWilson (#NoahWyle) together at Leverage HQ while Eliot and Parker have shipwrecked on an island and find the two cops from the opening - along with a lot of other cops - have taken over the hotel. Loved the visual effects of the hurricane. At first I thought they were brave enough to film during one of the five hurricanes the #LeverageRedemption cast and crew endured during the filming of the first season. Turns out it was a hurricane machine. Still extremely effective. And fantastic action sequences of Parker climbing 3 roofs during a hurricane and taking out a couple of bad guys on her own. The presence of U. S. Marshall #MariaShipp, called in by Eliot earlier to get them off the island, was taken as a threat by Parker. Although the Eliot/Parker banter is fun to watch, the writers also write heart-felt scenes where one of the trio (Parker in this case, Eliot in another episode) fears the other will move on without them. Touching Eliot/Parker scene at the end. Oh, and don't miss Harry channeling Wyle's ER doctor role with a flair, a wink, and a smile.
