Possible spoilers for "The Inside Job"
Back at the Leverage office, the group sits to discuss their latest case. Like most cases, Nate has found it helpful to critique a finished job; to find out what went good, what went bad…
"Thoughts?" Nate asked, looking around the room.
"Well you really can't critique too much of this, Nate," Sophie began. "It wasn't a real job. We didn't plan anything in advance. It was rescue mission."
"I think we kicked ass," Hardison put in. "I may not have truly defeated that security system, but I worked it, baby." He smiled proudly.
Nate looked to Parker next, when no one else said anything.
"Parker?"
"It was good. Thanks for getting me out; for helping Archie," she said quietly. It was obvious she was still a little upset by the whole thing; by the team learning more about her than she had been willing to expose.
"Eliot?"
Eliot shrugged. "I'm good."
"And you, Nate?" Sophie asked, sensing correctly that there was something bothering their leader.
Nate rose from the couch. "Names," he said, walking to the window, looking out.
"Names?" Hardison questioned for the rest.
Nate turned, nodding his head. "Names. John Steed and Emma Peel? Come on, you two are soooo lucky that there weren't too many people in that office over the age of thirty!"
"Who are John Steed and Emma Peel?" Parker asked, obviously confused.
Sophie smiled as she answered, "Only the greatest television spies the BBC has ever produced." When she still saw three confused looks, she added, "From the sixties? The Avengers?"
"Forget it, Sophie," Nate told her, shaking his head. "Hell, they probably don't even know who Archie Leach is, either."
