While I don’t think I’ll have a whole lot of new, stunning predictions, I must take the time to laugh at the last batch because OH NO, WHAT HAVE I DONE.
Seriously, just look at these:
- In the interim, Sophie runs the Leverage team. Sort of??? I expected something more concrete.
- Nate will be in Interpol custody for two episodes. WRONG. WRONG. WRONG.
- PRISON HEIST. The team will try to break Nate out of jail in the first episode, but they’ll fail. Started out so right, then was so wrong.
- Sterling will be in five episodes. Lord, I did not do well here.
- We will not see Tara this season. I do miss Tara. She’s great!
- Hardison backstory episode! I still need this.
- Eliot backstory episode! AND THEN I KNOCK IT OUT OF THE PARK AND IT HURTS AND E L I O T.
- The season finale will focus on Nate’s attempt to finally bring down IYS. WELL. A noble guess! I think I’ll use this again.
- The team will get a new headquarters. I tried.
- Which will be built by Hardison. I tried again.
- Hardison will get a new van. I keep trying, and it’s just not working.
- HARDISON AND PARKER WILL GO ON A HONEST-TO-GOD DATE. This may be the poorest prediction performance ever.
- Sophie and Nate will start a relationship. AND THEN A SUPER GOOD ONE, WHAT THE HELL.
- We’ll get an episode about a corrupt start-up company. No.
- There will be an episode about video games. No.
- And another episode about a father not paying child support. (We haven’t had that yet!) No.
- And another episode about a social worker in some form. Nooooooooo.
- I AM NOT READY. This is so fucking pathetic, I got like three out of eighteen right, WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME, USUALLY I’M IRONICALLY BETTER AT THIS.
Now, given that there was only one cliffhanger element to season three, I don’t have a lot to go on, so expect a bit of recycling. Here we go!
Predictions for Season 4
- Sophie and Nate spend most of the season trying to hide their relationship from the team.
- They utterly fail, meaning that the team is going to reveal that they knew all along what was going on. COME ON, THEY ARE TOO PERCEPTIVE.
- Sterling will come back.
- Tara will not.
- Hardison backstory!
- Down with IYS!!!! Bring this back!
- HARDISON/PARKER. I NEED IT TO HAPPEN.
- We’ll also learn more about Eliot AND Parker’s pasts.
- There will be an episode where all five characters have to grift at once.
- I want another offbeat episode like “The Roshamon Job.” Give it to me!
- We’ll get a hint of this season’s arc in the first episode, but like season 3, there won’t be a whole lot of episodes addressing it.
- I know this is short, but I honestly don’t know what else to predict. All the stories were wrapped up!
- Ooooh, wait, we’ll get an episode about the team infiltrating a BIRTHDAY PARTY. Yes, good.
All right, I’m off to go start season 4. How exciting!
