Qualcomm Exceeds Analyst Expectations in Q1 Earnings Report

Handset Chip Sales Surge 16% Year Over Year

In a fiscal first-quarter report released on Wednesday, Qualcomm outperformed analysts’ expectations, propelled by a robust 16% year-over-year increase in sales of handset chips. While Qualcomm’s shares dipped slightly by more than 1% in extended trading, the company’s positive performance in chip sales marked a notable achievement.

Fiscal Overview and Expectations for the Current Quarter

Qualcomm reported a 24% rise in net income for the quarter, reaching $2.77 billion, or $2.48 per share, compared to $2.24 billion, or $1.98 per share, in the same period the previous year. Despite this impressive result, Qualcomm’s shares experienced a minor decline in after-hours trading.

For the ongoing quarter, Qualcomm anticipates adjusted earnings between $1.73 and $1.93 per share, with a revenue forecast ranging from $8.9 billion to $9.7 billion. These projections fell short of consensus expectations, as reported by LSEG, which estimated earnings at $2.25 per share on revenue of $9.3 billion.

Qualcomm’s Diverse Chip Technology Applications

Widely recognized for its smartphone chip manufacturing, Qualcomm, under CEO Cristiano Amon, has been strategically expanding its chip technology into various markets beyond smartphones. This includes applications in PCs, automobiles, and virtual reality headsets. While the global smartphone market has faced challenges in recent years, Qualcomm remains a significant player.

During the December quarter, the company recorded the shipment of $6.69 billion in handset chips, reflecting a substantial 16% increase from the previous year. The positive momentum in handset chip sales indicates a potential stabilization in the smartphone market after a two-year decline. Qualcomm expressed optimism, expecting global handset sales to remain flat year over year.

Diversification Efforts and Future Prospects

Qualcomm’s efforts to diversify its business beyond smartphones have manifested in its Internet of Things (IoT) segment, which saw a 32% sales decline to $1.13 billion. However, the company remains committed to leveraging its chip technology in the automotive sector, reporting a 31% increase in sales for its nascent automotive business, reaching $589 million.

Its overall chip sales business, encompassing automotive, IoT, and handsets under QCT, achieved $8.42 billion in revenue during the quarter, reflecting a commendable 7% annual growth. The licensing business, QTL, reported $1.46 billion in revenue, experiencing a modest 4% annual decline.

Strategic Outlook and Shareholder Returns

Looking ahead, Qualcomm continues to focus on selling chips to automakers, a strategy expected to unfold over several years due to the industry’s regulatory complexities. The company’s commitment to innovation and growth is underscored by significant investments, including $800 million in share repurchases and $900 million in dividends during the quarter.

In a call with analysts, CEO Cristiano Amon revealed that Apple has agreed to extend its patent licensing agreement through March 2027, highlighting the company’s collaborative partnerships and commitment to long-term business relationships.

Buyers could have little leverage if NEAR reclaims $1.155. Futures market players were bullish on the altcoin at press time.  Near Protocol [NEAR] saw a positive price performance following a partnership with the International Cricket Council (ICC) on 27 September. The partnership involved building a Web3 fan engagement platform for the 2023 Cricket World Cup. How much are 1,10,100 NEARs worth today?  Since the development, NEAR has been up 7% and traded at $1.13 at press time. Meanwhile, Bitcoin [BTC] retested $27k but struggled to stay above it. Can NEAR clear these hurdles? Source: NEAR/USDT on TradingView The partnership led to a rebound near the trendline support around $1.05. But the overall price action in Q3 chalked a descending wedge pattern, as the white trendlines show. Although the formation is typically a price reversal pattern to the upside, NEAR faces two crucial hurdles.  The first roadblock is the confluence of the 50-EMA (Exponential Moving Average) and the trendline resistance near $1.16. The next hurdle exists at the weekly order block and resistance zone of $1.24 – $1.38 (red).  So, price action could falter at these two roadblocks, especially if BTC records more losses below $27k. The RSI and CMF were at equilibrium levels at press time, indicating that the price could go in either direction.  Demand and funding rates improved Source: Coinalyze NEAR registered an improvement in demand in the derivatives segment from 25 September, as indicated by Open Interest rates. In addition, the funding rates were positive from 28 September, further reinforcing a bullish bias in the past two days.   Read Near [NEAR] Price Prediction 2023-24 Even the Accumulative Swing Index (ASI), which tracks the strength of price swings, turned positive, denoting a long-term uptrend. However, the overhead hurdles could derail extra recovery efforts, especially if BTC falters at $27k.

The first explicit "non-human that is not evil" corner case in the series won't happen until 2.03, but season 1 has five episodes fully or partially framed around evil humans which occur in sequence starting in 1.11 "Scarecrow" and carrying through 1.15 "Benders".

The MOTW in 1.11 "Scarecrow" is a god—sure—but the god isn't really the monster of the week. The MOTW is the townspeople who target and offer up travelers as sacrifices to said god every year in order to retain their wealth.

The MOTW in 1.12 is Sue Ann, who kills people to generate clout and to punish them for their non-conservative politics or for being gay—the reaper is simply the tool being used by her.

1.13 "Route 666" is about a ghost, but that ghost is the ghost of a terrorist, stalker, and racist who Cassie's father killed and those who knew covered it up because they also knew that guy deserved it.

1.14 "Nightmare" is about a young man terrorized by abuse to the point of having a mental breakdown that causes his psychic powers to manifest, who then kills the people who abused him. It is also about the evil of the people who abused him and whether they deserved to die, and which ones deserved to die and which ones didn't deserve it (explicitly separating Max's step mom who observed the abuse and was silent from those who actively participated in Max's abuse).

1.15 "The Benders" is about a family of serial killers and implied cannibals who kidnap people and hunt them for sport.

In all of these these episodes, the human antagonist is doled out a death judgement either by one of their victims or by the narrative itself. Sue Ann and Emily's aunt and uncle are killed by the very beings they tried to leverage to acquire wealth. The victims in 1.13-1.15 kill (at least one of) the people who terrorized them.

This run of episodes also includes lines like "May God save us from half the people who think they're doing God's work" and "Demons I get. People are crazy." Both are Dean lines.

An FYI season 1 case breakdown:

12 episodes feature a violent spirit as the primary antagonist (1.01, 1.03, 1,04, 1.05, 1.07, 1.09, 1.10, 1.13, 1.16, 1.19, 1.21, 1.22)

2 episodes are not about any real enemy living, dead, human or non-human as the primary antagonist (1.08 - curse; 1.17 - Tulpa)

3 episodes feature non-spirit non-humans as the primary antagonist (1.02, 1.06, 1.20)

5 episodes feature humans as the primary antagonist (1.11, 1.12, 1.14, 1.15, 1.18*)

*1.18's Dr. Hydecker could go in the "human" or "non-human" category depending on your interpretation of the lore. He's a type of witch so it's also reasonable to place him in the human category but granted it's sort of unclear if his "true form" looks that way because he's super duper old or if it's because he's not actually human.

Hardison (to Eliot): Help me.

Eliot: I got you.

Hardison: Help me, help me!

(Eliot grabs Hardison’s arm and flips him, then gestures to the other guards)

- - - - -

Hardison: How'd you know we'd be there?

Nate: Last week before the exhibit opens, security almost in place, but not fully staffed. Best time to case the joint. Plus, I did chase all of you at one point or another.

- - - - -

Eliot: Is she in on this?

Sophie: "She" can hear you, okay?

Hardison: Wait a minute. There is no "this," Eliot.

Parker: Sophie did come back for me.

(Nate walks over to the table, which is covered in plans)

Eliot: Wouldn't have had to if she wouldn't have lied to you.

Hardison: No calls for three months. I don't need you people.

Parker: What do you mean, you don’t need us?

Sophie: I’m sorry, I seem to remember a certain job with horses where I backed your play, actually.

Eliot: I don't care! You don't con your crew!

(the four of them begin arguing, talking over each other. Nate whistles to get their attention)

parker immediately backing sophie up? we love a trusting daughter

hardison acting all dismissive and parker IMMEDIATELY calling him out? amazing

eliot having trust issues? we’re sad to see it but not surprised at all lol

- - - - -

Nate: Glen-Reeder security system here.

Parker: And that's not the worst of it. (walks over to table)

Nate: Hmm?

Parker: The Davids are under bulletproof glass on a motion-Detector pad.

Nate: Really?

(the others join them, Nate takes a step back)

Parker: Mm-Hmm.

Sophie: Environmentally sealed…

Nate: Really.

Sophie: …kept at a constant temperature and humidity in the case. I saw them working on the airflow.

(Nate walks away, no one notices)

THE FAMILY BACK TOGETHER AGAIN

- - - - -

Nate: Why'd you come back? We agreed to scatter for six months. All of you–all of you—made an amateur move being there.

Parker: It's too hard to leave a job undone. It's like an itch.

Hardison: I put a lot of work into us, into that office. It was like my second home. I blew up my second home.

Eliot: As annoying as you people are, I quit this crew when I quit this crew. Nobody makes me leave.

Sophie: I just, I really wanted to hurt Sterling.

THEYRE A FAMILY, YOUR HONOR

Sophie: Hey, I think the roof's the way in, but it looks like they've rigged alarm sensors to the skylights.

Parker: I can get around those.

Eliot: Really? And end up on one of the new 20 cameras they got down there from our last little trip to the basement?

Parker: That was fun.

Hardison: Yeah. Could we talk about that?

Parker: Talk about what?

hardison: can we talk about the kiss or ???

parker and eliot are sitting next to each other :)

also eliot is wearing flannel now and we love to see it

- - - - -

Eliot: How'd we miss that?

Nate: Grifter, hitter, hacker, thief. You were all trying to solve your version of the crime instead of just trying to solve the crime. There was a reason we worked together.

- - - - -

Parker: What about Maggie?

parker likes maggie

+

Parker: Okay, look, you always have a plan "b," right? So, fine. Without Maggie, what's the plan "b"?

MASTERMIND PARKER IN SEASON ONE

Nate: You know, I had to ask her out 10 times before we even got a coffee --

Eliot: Coffee? I would love to. Yeah. What time--? In an hour? I, yeah, I would love to. Let me write down where you want to go. I know exactly where that place is at. All right. I'm looking forward to it. (hangs up)

Nate: Yeah, all right -- No.

Eliot: She probably just really wants some hot coffee.

Nate: Shut up!

Eliot: It's not like a date. (pulls his hair back)

Nate: Are you kidding me? You're fixing your hair?

Eliot: Because I’m playing the professor Sinclair dude!

maggie’s thirst + nate ready to die LMFAO

- - - - -

parker, hardison and sophie watching the button cam footage like a soap opera (sophie is literally eating gummy bears lmfao)

(Parker, Eliot and Hardison sit on the stairs as Maggie and Nate stand in the dining room, arguing)

Eliot: I feel used.

lmao poor eliot. although we love to see the ot3 sitting together as a unit

- - - - -

eliot using a tight alias and then using his real phone number? big dumbass energy

- - - - -

Nate: So we replace the rebar, reinforce the concrete, with any luck, they'll never know what hit 'em. And that, that's the plan.

Maggie: You actually expect this to work?

Nate: Um…

Hardison: No, no, you're supposed to say, "wow. That's just crazy enough to work."

Sophie: Incredibly, chance does seem to bend itself to his bizarre machinations.

Parker (whispers): That's his superpower. (smells Maggie)

in this house we love and respect maggie

also dnjsjsjjdnsn under the cork boards there are two (2) big cases of orange soda and beer for eliot

+ now parker is wearing a very pretty flannel that I want

Maggie: I have to check museum inventory.

Nate: Oh. Easy.

(Nate looks at Hardison, who types on a laptop, then shows monitor to Maggie)

Maggie: This is confidential. (takes laptop) You're not reading my e-mails, are you?

Hardison: No. No.

(Maggie looks down at the laptop. Hardison nods to Nate while she’s not looking)

LMFAO

- - - - -

Sophie: Okay, why don't you run up to him? Being just a little bit out of breath, it changes the speech rhythms—

[Blackpoole Gallery]

Sophie: --makes it harder to detect a lie.

(Maggie passes Parker, taking Lloyd’s phone, and starts to run)

Maggie: Lloyd!

[Mansion Dining Room]

Hardison: See? Like that right there. It's informative.

Eliot: You learn and you con

it’s true, your honor

- - - - -

Nate: Okay. What's he found?

Hardison: Oh. Well, looky here. Dr. Ernst Volk, University of Berlin, dead. Dr. Schliemann, London museum, dead. Oh. Oh, and also the three guys that actually discovered the tomb. Eliot, what does that say?

Eliot: It says "dead."

Hardison: D-E-D, dead, baby.

Eliot and Nate: D-E-A-D.

Hardison: I-I know how to-- I was throwing a little style on it, Just a little bit, a little style. I know how to spell "dead," damn it. I can steal a bank, I can spell "dead. (annoyedly drinks orange soda)

give him a break pls

- - - - -

Sophie: Wrap it up now, Maggie. You're doing great.

THEY HAVE CHEMISTRY

john rogers said that they had a fling in canon (I’m thinking during sophie’s absence in season two) and bless his soul for giving that to us

- - - - -

Eliot: You need something?

Sophie: I was just trying to make myself useful.

Eliot: Yeah, well, last time you tried that, we had to blow up the office.

Sophie: That's not fair.

Eliot: I was just getting used to it.

Sophie: What? Having an office?

Eliot: Being part of a team.

Sophie: Look, I didn't mean, you know, it wasn't supposed to go down like that.

(Parker walks in and tosses a bag on the floor near Eliot)

Parker: What's going on?

Eliot: Sophie here was just trying to apologize.

(Hardison carries the painting into the room)

Sophie: No, I wasn't.

Parker: She tried that with me earlier. She kind of sucks at it.

Eliot: A little bit.

Hardison: Oh, did she give you the speech about how we're thieves and about how this is what thieves do and if we were in her shoes, we'd have done the same thing?

Eliot: No, I think she was just getting to that part.

(Eliot puts the part he was working on down and stands up)

Eliot: You apologized to him first, huh? Why am I last?

Sophie: I wasn't apologizing. I...

Eliot: That's the problem.

Sophie: I just wanted to see if w-we… we were all okay with each other.

Eliot: Okay. There it is.

Parker: I forgive you.

Hardison: Apology accepted.

Eliot: Yeah.

they give sophie shit but they still love her

also eliot is such a sap he misses the office and even admits that he liked having a team what a SOFTIE

- - - - -

Geary: Pictures have been distributed. We're scanning every guest that comes into the museum.

Sterling: Eliot Spencer?

Geary: Eliot Spencer, (referencing files) wanted in five countries, including Myanmar—

(Eliot walks behind Geary and Sterling, pausing to listen for a moment as they walk away from him)

Geary: --which is offering a half-million-dollar bounty on his head.

Sterling: Bringing Spencer to justice and getting paid for it? It's icing on the cake.

(Geary and Sterling get into an elevator)

[Museum Lobby]

(Geary and Sterling walk out of the elevator)

Sterling: Parker?

Geary: Parker. Wanted in nine countries, including Brazil and Yemen.

Sterling: Yeah, tough choice. I'll have to flip a coin.

(Parker is working in the gift shop of the lobby, watching them walk by)

Sterling: How about Sophie Devereaux?

Geary: England, France, Spain, Luxembourg -- Europe, basically.

Sterling: France. Wonderful shopping, horrifying prisons.

(they walk past Sophie, who stifles a laugh)

[Mechanical Room]

(Hardison turns on a light on his hat, opening a panel and attaching clips)

Sterling: Alec Hardison.

Geary: Well, he better not show his face in Iceland

I LOVED THIS MONTAGE

also we love to learn more about the team

- - - - -

on hardison’s phone when it shows their synchronized countdowns, he has himself down as “big h”

- - - - -

Ian: Conspiracy to commit robbery is what, five years? Catching him in the act, 20.

- - - - -

nate rappelled in this one!

- - - - -

nate snatching the gun right out of blackpool’s hand? eliot taught him that and you CANNOT change my mind.

- - - - -

Ian: Maggie!

(Ian walks over to Maggie, followed by Nate and Sterling)

Ian: Well, you understand –

(Maggie punches Ian in the face. He falls to the floor)

Maggie: Screw therapy. That felt really good. (walks away)

we stan a QUEEN

- - - - -

Sterling: Of course, you know your entire plan depended on me being a self-serving, utter bastard.

Nate: Hmm. Yeah, that's a stretch.

(Nate hands Sterling the gun and heads for the door)

Sterling: I'll call you when it's done.

Nate: You do that

- - - - -

(the team stands in a circle, dressed for travelling)

Nate: Thank you, all of you. You surprised me.

Eliot: We had a good run.

Hardison: It's a good time to move on.

Parker: I'm going somewhere... else.

Sophie: A fresh start.

Nate: We made a difference. Remember that.

Hardison (to Parker): Where you going?

Parker: Let's see how hard you look.

(the team separates reluctantly, each going a different direction. They all pause for a long moment, then the screen goes to black)

parker and hardison are still cute, parker is about to cry, hardison and eliot look very sad and almost tearing up, and sophie is actually crying

also hardison was the last one to turn around and that’s so in character it hurts my heart

+ the ot3 were each wearing leather jackets (plus eliot wearing a hoodie underneath = bix2)

I hate the scenes when they split up and the producers said that they ended every season as if that was final anD B O Y IF I HAD TO WATCH THAT AND HAVE IT BE THE END I WOULD HAVE R I O T E D

[aj-lenoire]

this entire episode is so good + all the dynamics are so funny. sophie and maggie ganging up on nate, eliot being mad at sophie but like, catty mad, hardison trying to play peacemaker and keep things moving, parker having no idea how to behave around this new person and maggie not really knowing That’s Just How Parker Is, nate still caring for maggie despite how they’ve both moved on romantically—it’s all SO GOOD

Out of Commission

Fandom: Debris (TV)

Notes: Fill for “79. Staying by their side when they've been hospitalized.” From this list by @emswritingprompts Set after 1.13. Spoilers/references for 1.01, 1.02, 1.06, and 1.13.

“I’m not leaving.” Bryan spoke softly, but there was ice in his tone. “She’s my partner.”

“I understand that, sir, but—“

“Bryan!”

Beneventi tore his gaze away from the orderly he had been speaking with and turned his head toward the sound of Maddox’s voice.

He saw his supervisor hurrying toward him through the half-empty hospital corridor, and Bryan raised a hand in greeting.

“Got your message,” Maddox huffed. “How are you? How’s Finola?”

“She’s been checked out. We’re okay.” He had leveled his gaze back to the orderly, daring him to contradict him. The younger man gulped.

A half-smile appeared on Maddox’s face as he read the situation. “Can I speak to your supervisor?” he asked, clapping a hand on the orderly’s shoulder and steering him away from Bryan.

Once they were gone, the CIA agent stepped back into his partner’s room and closed the door behind him.

“Maddox is here,” he reported, reversing the chair next to her bed to sit straddled across it.

Finola was awake and sitting up in bed in a white cotton hospital gown. She nodded. “I heard him. And, you, threatening that poor orderly.”

Bryan raised his hands. “I didn’t say anything that was a direct threat.”

“You don’t have to stay, especially now that Maddox is here. One of us should be out there, looking for INFLUX, for my—for George.”

He only lowered his arms to rest them on the back of the chair and continued to sit watching her, and she sighed, knowing he wouldn’t leave without her. It surprised her a little, this sudden display of…protectiveness from Bryan.

“What happened to ‘this job is about being alone?’” she mumbled, looking down at the oxygen monitor clipped to her finger.

He cracked a smile. “I met someone,” he began. “She wanted to know all about me.”

“That is not what I said!” she objected, feeling heat flood her face even as she raised her head in a challenging gesture.

“I know.” His voice had become soft again. “But you said we had to work together. I’m just waiting until you’re ready to get back into the field.”

“Do you think…we will? You think Maddox will still put us together?”

“He will. If he doesn’t, he won’t get the information we have.”

Finola had to smile at his scheming. “You want to trade what we know to stay partners?”

“It’s the only leverage we have.”

She shifted uneasily in her bed as another thought struck her. “And what if…Maddox decides to force answers out of us?”

Bryan rubbed a hand across his face, his eyes drawn to the darkening, finger-shaped bruises along her throat that had been left by INfLUX. “I won’t let it get that far. So, yeah, we might be split up.”

She nodded again. The disturbing possibility she had raised made her glad of Bryan’s company, so she took his hand in hers and gave it a squeeze. She didn’t know how much time they had left to be alone together.

“Thanks for being here,” she whispered, just before a knock sounded on the door.

Bryan only had time to nod, just once, before the door opened, and Maddox entered, ready to hear what they had to tell him.

I Made A Leverage Timeline Because I Was Bored

Warning: this is like. way too in depth. and very nit-picky in terms of evidence, because I am a horrible perfectionist and my work is never finished.

Episode # - Approx. Date, Length of Job (Explanation) (extra details)

- Time Between Episodes

Most of the lengths are like. The MINIMUM amount of days for the job - “It was night in this scene, and in the next scene it was morning! That’s two days!” - not counting client meetings because there’s usually no way of knowing how much time was spent planning the job. Also, the dates I’m very super not sure about are marked with *asterisks*.

1.1 - May/June 2008, 2 weeks+ (NBA playoffs are April-June, and at that time the fifth games of each round were at the beginning and middle of the month. The stockholders meeting was “at the end of the month” - May/June 27-31, presumably - meaning Dubenich met with Nate within the month of May/June. Personally I think the game was in the semifinals (second round), and in May, bc the first and third round games were literally the first three days of the month and that doesn’t seem like enough time to plan a heist, and calling the finals the “playoffs” sounds weird to me) (this is the most adherent to reality I get, I promise)

- I actually have no clue, but it must have been at least a couple weeks

1.2 - 4 days+

1.3 - 1 week+

1.4 - 1 week+

1.5 - 1 day (Mile High, less than eight hours from the initial break-in to the plane landing)

1.6 - 5-6 days (Miracle Job, ends on a Sunday)

1.7 - ? (Two-Horse)

- However long it took to hook the judge guy

1.8 - 1 day (Bank Shot)

1.9 - 1 week+

- At least one job (team’s mad at Parker for being reckless)

1.10 - 1 week-ish (Juror #6, in Hardison’s closing argument he says that the trial lasted a week)

1.11 - 4-5 days

1.12 - Oct 2008 (Measured from 2.1, and is ~4 months after my 1.1, which lines up with my length estimations, plus a few weeks of wiggle room)

- Four Months

1.13 - Feb 2009

- Six Months

2.1 - Aug 2009 (I don’t actually remember where I got this date, but it’s 15 months from my 1.1, and in Nate’s interview at the beginning of the episode we find out that he’s been with the team for around a year, when the interviewer asks about the gap in his resume)

2.2 - 6+ days

2.3 - 1 day (Order 23)

2.4 - Sept~Oct 2009 (Fairy Godparents, has to happen during the school year) (Sophie spends two days putting together the “science-sical” but I don’t feel confident enough to estimate the rest of this episode’s length)

2.5 - *Sept~Oct 2009*

2.6 - *Late Oct 2009* (The mark mentions a “record breaking third quarter”)

2.7 - *Nov 2009* (Two Crew Live, probably about six months before 2.15 because Eliot says 2.8-2.14 happened within “the last six months”, but I’m willing to fudge by a few weeks)

2.8 - *Nov 2009*

2.9 - <1 week

2.10 - ?

2.11 - Jan-Feb 2010 (Bottle Job, snowing)

2.12 - ?

2.13 - ?

2.14 - Apr 2010 (the East Coast Triple-A baseball league at the time, International League, started playing games in the first week of April)

2.15 - Apr 2010

- Five to Six Months (3.3: Nate was in prison for six months)

3.1 - Oct 2010 (6 months before 3.15)

3.2 - Late Oct 2010 (mark’s company had disappointing quarterly results, Sophie also rescheduled a reunion that would have happened June-July with this date, which makes sense for a reunion) (reunion was on the 28th)

3.3 - 1 day (Inside Job)

3.4 - Nov 2010 (5 months before 3.15)

3.5 - ?

3.6 - ?

3.7 - ?

3.8 - ? (note: Boost Job, mark’s employees are watching the NBA playoffs, and the literal earliest I could possibly push this episode is like. Late July. so I’m ignoring that piece of information.) (however, the NFL playoffs are in January. And that works for my timeline 👀)

3.9 - ?

3.10 - ?

3.11 - one night (Rashomon)

3.12 - Feb 2011, 3-4 days, four months after 3.1

3.13 - 2 days

3.14 - Christmas 2010 (Ok. Listen. Listen. Seasons 3 and 4 just Do Not Work if 3.12 happens before this episode. They just don’t. So I’m going to make the claim that this episode was aired out of order because ✨Christmas✨. Thank you for understanding. I promise, it fixes the whole thing.)

3.15 - Apr 2011 (six months after 3.1) (Also, ~one year after 2.15)

3.16 - Apr 2011, 1 week (from the time they take over the campaign) (Hardison is 24 here, making his birthday somewhere between Mar 25 1986 and Mar 24 1987) (The 2002 Oscars, when he was 15, was on Mar 24)

- Less Than Two Weeks

4.1 - Apr 2011 (three months after a storm in winter shut down the mountain)

4.2 - 2 days (10 Li’l Grifters)

4.3 - ?

4.4 - 1 day (Van Gogh)

4.5 - 1 day (Hot Potato) (exactly two days counting client meeting)

4.6 - ?

4.7 - 3+ days (Grave Danger)

4.8 - ?

- One Very Exciting Job

4.9 - 2 hours (Cross My Heart) (six hours counting the surgery)

4.10 - 3 days (Queen’s Gambit)

4.11 - Sept 2011, 1 week+ (The real life secret society that this was based on recruits in April-ish, but that would shove the past nine episodes into like a month, and also make it so the mark is still doing tests for his “senior project” within weeks of his graduation, so we’re not doing that. It’s My Fav TV Show’s Fake Secret Society And I Get To Pick The Rules)

4.12 - *Sept-Oct 2011*, 4-7 days (Office Job, at beginning of episode the buyout is happening “at the end of the week”)

4.13/4.14 - one night

4.15 - *Mid Oct 2011*, 2 days (Lonely Hearts, I just don’t think the weather in the Hamptons would be quite that nice any later than that?)

4.16 - ?

4.17 - Nov/Dec 2011, 1 day (Radio Job) (a Sunday)

4.18 - Nov/Dec 2011 (Dubenich was in jail for 3 years 5 months 4 days)

- One Year?

5.1 - Nov 2012 (plane’s anniversary is Nov 2nd, 2012)

- Christmas 2012 is when they went “overboard” on gifts

5.2 - Feb-Mar 2013 (That’s when playoffs were for the closest irl thing to that semi-pro league) (there aren’t actually any semi-pro hockey leagues in the US currently!)

5.3 - ?

5.4 - ?

5.5 - Apr-May 2013 (Gimme a ‘K’ Street, cheer comps)

5.6 - ?

5.7 - ?

- Parker tore her ACL, minimum six weeks from here to 5.9

5.8 - 5+ days

5.9 - Aug 28-Sept 11 2013, 1 day

5.10 - Aug 28-Sept 11 2013, 2 days (Frame Up, dates are in the document Sophie prints out)

5.11 - Sept 2013, 1 week+ (Low Low Price)

5.12 - Sept-Oct 2013 (White Rabbit)

5.13 - Sept-Oct 2013 (Corkscrew, harvest season)

5.14 - Christmas 2013 (Toy Job)

5.15 - 2014, 1 day (Last Goodbye, counting only the job)

In conclusion: FUCK season three for having such a clear timeline. Season 2 can stay but it’s on thin fucking ice

Most of this is soooo bullshit but I had fun. so.
