Rewatching again, and…

… There's no denying that 'Eliot, Parker, and Hardison' are a 'trio' w/in the team, but I'm also subject to an ongoingly increasing appreciation for the 'Nate, Sophie, and Eliot' trio.

#Leverage #I've ranted about this so much #but to me Nate and Eliot are very familial and Eliot is very much Nate's surrogate son #and he's very much a confidant to the 'parents'#I find their relationships and development very interesting #in a way it almost feels like an adult son getting to know a new step mom and finally warming to her if that makes sense?#Nate and Eliot settle in very quickly and subtly #while Sophie and Eliot take some time getting used to each other and their development is more on the forefront #bc Sophie is a verbal person she discusses and listens and learns #she's outward #Nate and Eliot can communicate silently and Nate and Sophie already had a Thing #but Eliot and Sophie clash a bit and I think it's particularly meaningful in moments where he makes the effort to communicate to her #Eliot is often seen congressing w/ the two of them w/ a vibe that's just Different than Hardison and Parker?#and I love it #I love how well the different familial dynamics are displayed in such an unconventional way in this show #it's a unique look at a found family that reflects a nuclear one very much #none of them mean any LESS to each other than the others but their relationships are all different #and I just really love the unsaid detail in Eliot's relationships w/ Nate and Sophie #he's definitely the left arm of the crew in particular Nate's #and he develops w/ and eventually accepts Sophie #Leverage is an incredible study in characterisation and development honestly #Things You Didn't Know Fire was Into
