Team-focused episodes?

schneefink: Parker grinning, from First David Job (Leverage Parker smiling before jumping o)

My flatmate is not a fan of heist shows, but she enjoyed "Leverage: Redemption" because of the found family feelings and team bonding. Now I'm trying to put together a list of which early episodes from the original show to show her and I'd appreciate suggestions, since it's been a while since I watched it myself.

From the first two seasons, I was thinking of going with:
- The first episode, for the origin story
- The Two-Horse Job
- The Stork Job
- The First and Second David Job
- The Two Live Crew Job
- The Zanzibar Marketplace Job
- The Maltese Falcon Job

Hard to think of am episode without team dynamics! If she doesn't want to watch all 77...

The Mile High Job is a good 'team settling in with each other ep'. The Tap Out Job established a lot with Sophie and Eliot. Ice Man is a key Eliot and Hardison episode.

Weell, if she watches a few and then decides to go back and watch the rest that would be a welcome result ^^
Thank you :)

I feel like The Rashomon Job is a good one for team dynamics, just to see the different ways they interpret and misinterpret each other. That was definitely one of my favorite aspects of the episode.

I will definitely show her The Rashomon Job! One of my favorites :) only not in the above list because it is from season 3.

Fair! ^^; I think I was just thinking generally, and not really season-specific.

Now that I think about it, it would probably also work very well to show that episode earlier, might be a good idea :)

This is a good set, but i don't know that the Maltese Falcon Job would make much sense without The Three Strikes Job, which leads directly into it. So unless you're really pressed for time, I'd suggest adding that one to the list.

Thanks for the reminder! Will do :)

I'd add The Inside Job. It starts off with Parker going solo (out of loyalty to Archie) but then the team jumps straight in to help while Archie is still trying to convince Parker to run.

I also second the Roshomon Job, just to showcase the difference of the team together vs. everyone for themselves.

Yess, two excellent episodes! Those will definitely be on the list. Season 3 has a couple of great ones :)
