It is with sadness in my heart that I make my last prediction post for this show. I hate that I have to type that because I never, ever want this show to end.
For real. I have such an affinity for this show that I know I’ll bawl through the series finale. Until then, let’s go over some predictions and make more of them!
- Sophie and Nate spend most of the season trying to hide their relationship from the team. WELL.
- 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. I mean, I was kinda right, but not really. I don’t count this one.
- Sterling will come back. And in a damn fine episode, too!
- Tara will not. I’M SO GLAD I WAS WRONG
- Hardison backstory! I’m using this again.
- Down with IYS!!!! Bring this back! Shit. But not a terrible prediction, honestly.
- HARDISON/PARKER. I NEED IT TO HAPPEN. AND HALLELUJAH, WAS IT BEAUTIFUL. Bless this show.
- We’ll also learn more about Eliot AND Parker’s pasts. Does this count? I think I expected something more complicated or significant.
- There will be an episode where all five characters have to grift at once. Can I count the last episode as them grifting as themselves? No?
- I want another offbeat episode like “The Roshamon Job.†Give it to me! THERE WERE SO MANY, ACTUALLY.
- 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. HELL YEAH
- I know this is short, but I honestly don’t know what else to predict. All the stories were wrapped up! STILL WASN’T READY.
- Ooooh, wait, we’ll get an episode about the team infiltrating a BIRTHDAY PARTY. Yes, good. Still a good prediction.
Okay, like season four, I feel like there’s not much carrying over, but it is the last season. I’m expecting a few big things. LET’S DO THIS.
Predictions for Season 5
- I think a great deal of this will cover Nate and Sophie’s attempt to have a more serious relationship.
- That also means we’ll see more of Parker and Hardison doing the same.
- I think there will be glimpses of the past from each of the five main characters.
- At least four characters from past episodes will appear in this season.
- Birthday party infiltration?
- I wanna see more of Eliot cooking.
- Hardison will get over his fear of heights/falling.
- I think Nate will finally get to go after IYS.
- I think he’ll also stop drinking.
- Jim Sterling will appear in the finale.
- As will Maggie!
- As will Tara.
- I predict that the team will have to break-up TEMPORARILY at least once this season.
- We will learn Sophie’s real name.
- I will cry profusely during the series finale.
#15 is a freebie. WE ALL KNOW IT’S TRUE.
