trillianastraAKA the "Let's replace Sophie with some random person" Job.
We start out in London, with the requisite scene demonstrating the now PAINFUL levels of UST between Nate and Sophie. It's so.. so... OBVIOUS. And Nate had ANOTHER opportunity to actually SAY how he feels, and messed it up AGAIN, by asking her to come back for a job and handing her a plane ticket instead.
Mind you, if it was actually possible to have sex just with deep meaningful looks, Sophie'd be pregnant by now. Twelve times over.
ANYWAY, back in Boston...
New client, yadda yadda, dead rich guy, probate issues etc. New clientapparently has an attorney, who goes by Tara Carlisle and is rocking the hot-librarian look. More on her later, the important thing is that she insists on being involved in the job.
The team does not like this. It pretty much goes down like a lead balloon. Also, it has now become clear that trying to hide secret trips to London from Hardison is... not clever. What with all those security cameras and everything...
The job... well, Nate wears some truly horrendous and very... matching... suits while pretending to be a lawyer, Eliot saves Nate and Parker from getting shot, Parker ends up being wanted by the cops, and Hardison pretends to be a prison guard with... actually, I'm not sure what was going on there, but it was funny and involved the Aryan Nation. Yeeeeah...
Stuff happens, Parker impersonates dead rich guy's long-lost daughter, and a probate court judge gets really pissed off. Then Nate figures out, based on some fortuitously-acquired medical files, that the Client is ACTUALLY dead rich guy's daughter (well, she's colourblind, dead rich guy was colourblind, her dead mom was colourblind...), and the pissed-off judge awards the client the DRG's estate. So, yay, another win for the team.
Right until they're in the bar talking to the Client, and Nate asks where her lawyer is, only for her to say, basically, "What lawyer?" and "I thought she was with you".
...which leads to the team heading off to Nate's apartment, where TaraCarlisle Cole is. Guess what, she's not a lawyer. She's a friend of Sophie's. Who Sophie sent "to help them out"... and apparently, as a replacement. I am... not exactly what you would call 'happy' about this development. Thus I will from now on refer to her as the NotSophie.
