* Harry's redemption list, while not funny as a concept, does contain two choice entries:
-->Twenty Frivolous Lawsuits in One Week - a state record!
-->Polluted Waterways and gave kids cancer! Come on, Man!

* Eliot's been flirting with the U.S. Marshal Maria Shipp, and gives the team ten seconds to make jokes about it.
-->'''Breanna:''' Do you call 911 when you want some ''booty''?
-->'''Parker:''' Does she make you call her "officer"?
-->'''Harry:''' Who's the cop and who's the bottom?

[[folder: The Double-Edged Sword Job]]
* Parker's first scene of the episode is her doing a therapy exercise with her [[RunningGag hand puppets]]--which immediately gets derailed when one of them mentions clowns in a guttural voice, spooking Parker.
* At the end of the episode, Breanna puts together that Harry plays video games, to which Harry cheekily responds, "Good luck proving that," before walking off while Breanna tries to get his gamer handle.

** And then Sophie throws a knife right into one of the watermelons with a veiled threat against the mark, prompting Eliot to ask why all the knives.



[[folder: The Muddy Waters Job]]
* Maria sends Eliot a letter addressed to Ted E. Bear, much to the team's amusement and Eliot's frustrated embarrassment.
* Breanna refuses to assist on the current job when she finds out their client is an oil tycoon, forcing Harry and Sophie to try their hand at hacking. [[EpicFail They blow out the power to the office with a few keystrokes]].
* Eliot's rundown of the plan gets derailed when Breanna asks why he and the guys he's fighting are covered in oil in the hypothetical scenario described. [[BreakingTheFourthWall Both Eliot and the guy he's punching in the scenario look directly at the camera]] as the former can only muster, "We're on an oil platform, the oil...happens," for an excuse.
[[/folder]]



* Harry absolutely fanboying over the fact the team's latest job concerns one of his favorite games of all time.
* Parker mentioning that with the sheer amount of satellite coverage Hardison has access to, he's always watching her. And towards the end of the episode, it's proven when Sophie gets a text from him telling her exactly what to do to solve the team's problem, prompting her to note how unsettling that is.
* Several times throughout the episode, Parker tries (and fails) to do a decent Schwarzenegger impression, much to Eliot's annoyance.



* Harry accompanies Parker through an AirVentPassageway. He makes an abrupt shift from talking about how fun this is and how the walls don't even seem that close together to [[{{Claustrophobia}} screaming that the walls are closing in, hyperventilating, and trying to turn around]].

Parker calls it 'the venties', and mentions it's the reason she's such a hardcase when it comes to vent training.

** Eliot has to hide in the foot truck because Jenna knows him as the receptionist, handing Sophie gumbo from under the counter in order to serve them. Jenna recognizes her later at the bar where Leverage is headquartered, forcing Sophie and Breanna to make up an excuse on the spot or else the con getting blown up.

Added DiffLines:

* Harry's role in this episode is distracting the mark's assistant by pretending to be a Belgian prince disguised as a lumberjack. He barely bothers with the accent, but the mark's so enamored by the fantasy that she falls for it without question.
* A ''very'' large [[LampshadeHanging lampshade is hung]] on the implausible technology level of Leverage's earbuds when Keith hands Jenna a basic Bluetooth bud to communicate with.
--> '''Jenna:''' Oh, it's-- it's a little staticky.
--> '''Keith:''' Well, I could do better with unlimited money, a tech genius, and access to futuristic technology. But you know, who has time for that?
* Security attempts to stop Jenna from infiltrating the office, forcing Eliot to intervene as stealthily as possible. At the end of the episode, when the mark is being led away by cops, nobody seems to notice the two members of security lying unconscious in the office shrubbery.
* The ending of the episode has Jenna and Keith congratulating themselves on a job well done, walking past the Leverage crew while saying that they accomplished the job by themselves. Their body language screams DudeWheresMyRespect, especially Eliot's frustrated posture.

* In one of the few cut-aways to the perspective of Team Leverage, we get this exchange:
--> '''Breanna:''' Did you just [[SlippingAMickey roofie a serial sex offender?]]
--> '''Parker:''' Do tigers wear tutus?
--> ''They FistBump''.



* Proving that people in ''Leverage''s setting have no media literacy, Parker gets away with impersonating an FBI agent named [[Literature/SilenceOfTheLambs Clarice Starling]], even doing an imitation of Creator/JodieFoster in the film.

[[folder The Belly of the Beast Job]]
* The episode focuses on what the Leverage crew's antics look like to an outside observer, and features Jenna, the episode's POV character, nearly blowing up the con several times by complete accident. A few examples:
** Jenna gets hired by the mark instead of Breanna, meaning from the word 'go', they have to throw out Plan A.
** She recognizes the Leverage team's tendency to use ''Series/DoctorWho'' characters as fake names, preventing Sophie as 'Lethrbridge-Stuart' from meeting with the mark.

!!Season 2

[[folder:The Tournament Job]]
* After Elliot insults competitive gaming, Breanna says she's going to text Hardison that Elliot said that. Elliot has barely finished scoffing at the notion that he should be worried by that when he gets a series of lecturing texts from Hardison.

[[folder:The Crowning Achievement Job]]
* Harry and Parker distract the over-excited museum owner by manipulating him into trying to be an AmateurSleuth and accusing his own security guards of stealing the crown. The LetMeGetThisStraight reaction of the actual investigator who walks in on the scene (and finds out that Harry “accidentally” turned off the security cameras) increases the hilarity.

* Harry Wilson is a gold mine of comedy, especially since it's clear everybody dislikes him for being a REALLY evil lawyer. They seem to hold more of a grudge then they did against Elliot working for Moreau!
