the hairdresser Parker goes to with requests like “I need to look like someone who keeps her diamonds on a spinney wheel to decide which ones to wear,” and “I need to look like someone who has inherited a bunch of money and doesn’t know what to do with it,” and first she’s like, cool, high school reunion? Wedding? but then the requests start piling up like:
I need to look like someone who owns a successful chain of pizzerias
but lies to people at parties and tells them she’s a venture capitalist
I need to look like someone who thinks it’s a good idea to try to buy drugs from a car salesman they just met
And she’s like. Undercover cop? Really inept undercover cop? But no cop tips like that. And then the requests start to get really involved
I need to look like someone this person [photograph] would be friends with
I need to look like a woman who is sexually dissatisfied because she has never noticed she’s a lesbian
I need to look like someone who doesn’t know how to rig a climbing harness.
So the hairdresser is like, extremely niche sex-worker specializing in very specific requests? But eventually she’s like, no she’s definitely getting peoples’ money in a less transactional way, and finally she’s like, “hey, if I had knowledge that someone in the nail business was trafficking women from Indonesia to work as manicurists, do you, like, have a friend who could get that shut down without involving Immigration?” and Parker’s like “Hahahahaha WHY WOULD YOU ASK ME THAT but also definitely yes.”
I feel like an important thing to address about the Leverage ot3 to people new to the fandom is this isn’t just really intense fan interpretation or queerbaiting, it’s literally as canon as the creators could get away with on US television in 2012
Also nothing will ever be funnier than the whole Leverage crew spending the first episode whining about how they work alone and this is a one-time thing ONLY and they DON’T work in a team EVER and then like two days later Nate tries to get rid of them and every single one of them is like “why are you trying to tear this family apart :(”
