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.<\/p>\n

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!<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Sophie and Nate spend most of the season trying to hide their relationship from the team. WELL. <\/strong><\/li>\n
  2. 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.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  3. Sterling will come back. And in a damn fine episode, too!<\/b><\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Tara will not. I’M SO GLAD I WAS WRONG<\/strong><\/li>\n
  5. Hardison backstory! I’m using this again.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  6. Down with IYS!!!! Bring this back! Shit. But not a terrible prediction, honestly.<\/b><\/span><\/li>\n
  7. HARDISON\/PARKER. I NEED IT TO HAPPEN. AND HALLELUJAH, WAS IT BEAUTIFUL. Bless this show. <\/strong><\/li>\n
  8. We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll also learn more about Eliot AND Parker\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s pasts. Does this count? I think I expected something more complicated or significant.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  9. 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?<\/strong><\/li>\n
  10. I want another offbeat episode like \u00e2\u20ac\u0153The Roshamon Job.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Give it to me! THERE WERE SO MANY, ACTUALLY. <\/strong><\/li>\n
  11. We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll get a hint of this season\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s arc in the first episode, but like season 3, there won\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t be a whole lot of episodes addressing it. HELL YEAH<\/strong><\/li>\n
  12. I know this is short, but I honestly don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t know what else to predict. All the stories were wrapped up! STILL WASN’T READY.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  13. Ooooh, wait, we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll get an episode about the team infiltrating a BIRTHDAY PARTY. Yes, good. Still a good prediction.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Okay, like season four, I feel like there’s not much carrying over, but it is<\/i> the last season. I’m expecting a few big things. LET’S DO THIS.<\/p>\n

    Predictions for Season 5<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. I think a great deal of this will cover Nate and Sophie’s attempt to have a more serious relationship.<\/li>\n
    2. That also means we’ll see more of Parker and Hardison doing the same.<\/li>\n
    3. I think there will be glimpses of the past from each of the five main characters.<\/li>\n
    4. At least four characters from past episodes will appear in this season.<\/li>\n
    5. Birthday party infiltration?<\/li>\n
    6. I wanna see more of Eliot cooking.<\/li>\n
    7. Hardison will get over his fear of heights\/falling.<\/li>\n
    8. I think Nate will finally get to go after IYS.<\/li>\n
    9. I think he’ll also stop drinking.<\/li>\n
    10. Jim Sterling will appear in the finale.<\/li>\n
    11. As will Maggie!<\/li>\n
    12. As will Tara.<\/li>\n
    13. I predict that the team will have to break-up TEMPORARILY at least once this season.<\/li>\n
    14. We will learn Sophie’s real name.<\/li>\n
    15. I will cry profusely during the series finale.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      #15 is a freebie. WE ALL KNOW IT’S TRUE.<\/p>\n
