Have you seen the new episodes of leverage redemption?

I've seen up to 2.04, which I think is up to date? The date night one was SO SOFT and SO FUN that I actually opened my leverage fic for the first time in a long time.

Q-Q Plot of Residuals:

The Q-Q plot compares the quantiles of the residuals to the quantiles of a normal distribution. The points should fall along the 45-degree line if the residuals are normally distributed.

Interpretation: The plot shows that most points lie close to the line, suggesting that the residuals are approximately normally distributed, though there might be some deviations at the tails.

Residuals vs Fitted Values:

This plot shows residuals on the y-axis and fitted values on the x-axis. A random scatter of points indicates that the model fits the data well.

Interpretation: The residuals appear to be randomly scattered around the horizontal line at zero, which suggests that the model's assumptions of linearity and homoscedasticity are reasonable. There is no clear pattern, indicating that the model does not suffer from heteroscedasticity or non-linearity.

Standardized Residuals:

A histogram of the standardized residuals helps in assessing the distribution of the residuals. The KDE line adds a smooth density estimate to the histogram.

Interpretation: The distribution of standardized residuals approximates a normal distribution, supporting the assumption of normally distributed errors. The KDE line closely follows the histogram bars, reinforcing this observation.

Leverage vs Residuals Plot (Cook's Distance):

This plot helps identify influential observations by plotting leverage against studentized residuals. Points with high leverage and large residuals can have a disproportionate impact on the regression model.

Interpretation: The plot identifies a few observations with relatively high leverage or large residuals, but none of them seem to be excessively influential based on Cook's distance (no points fall beyond the Cook's distance threshold lines).

Summary of Findings

Association Analysis:

The regression coefficients and p-values for the model:

( \beta_1 = 2.04 ), ( p < 0.001 )

( \beta_2 = -1.03 ), ( p = 0.035 )

( \beta_3 = 0.54 ), ( p = 0.25 )

Interpretation: ( x1 ) is significantly positively associated with ( y ), while ( x2 ) is significantly negatively associated with ( y ). The variable ( x3 ) does not show a statistically significant association with ( y ).

Hypothesis Testing:

Hypothesis: The primary explanatory variable ( x1 ) is positively associated with ( y ).

Support: The results support this hypothesis, as ( \beta_1 ) is positive and highly significant.

Confounding Analysis:

Confounding: Introducing additional explanatory variables one at a time did not substantially change the relationship between ( x1 ) and ( y ). This suggests that there is no strong evidence of confounding in the association between ( x1 ) and ( y ).

Diagnostic Plots:

The diagnostic plots indicate that the model meets key assumptions: the residuals are approximately normally distributed, there is no clear pattern in the residuals vs. fitted values plot (suggesting homoscedasticity), and there are no overly influential observations.

These analyses confirm that the multiple regression model is appropriate for the data and the primary explanatory variable ( x1 ) has a significant positive association with the response variable ( y ).

parker and eliot smile brightly at hardison’s cleverness I love it

- - - - -

Sophie: Still, for us to get in and search the place, we've got to get rid of Fowler.

Nate: Now, there are three general exceptions for house arrest. There's personal safety, death of a relative, and family events.

Eliot: What are you doing, man? What are you doing? (to kids) Don't laugh! What are you doing? (whispering) There's girls here. You're better than that. Turn your hat around

I personally didn’t like this scene with him making fun of the kid’s name but he did technically deserve it because he was a bully + the whole girls thing? I mean I guess that’s a motivator but idk he could have said something different

(Parker is installing a motion detector above a doorway)

Parker: Stop moving!

Hardison (kneeling for Parker to stand on): Look— it don't have to be exact. Woman, it's a motion detector. Just point it that way.

Hardison: R- right. Right. Right. So, uh, what you all been up to?

Taggert: Well, actually, we've had a pretty good run of it lately. Closed some big cases.

McSweeten: Big.

Taggert: Moscone, for one.

McSweeten: Moscone, no more-ne.

Taggert: We also shut down a huge meth ring in California during a bank robbery.

the bit about them directly profiting off of the leverage crew? hilarious every time

Eliot: (swinging the thing in his hand) One of you two can identify the gunman, right?

Hardison: Oh, yeah, sure. He stopped and let me take a picture of him as I was chasing him.

Hardison: Hey, man, with all that? I've been in this pink shirt and these tight plaid pants, these old webster loafers, this girl is walking on my back. I don't need this, man.

Eliot: Is this the guy?

Parker: Mm-hmm.

Eliot: See? (tosses the pad on the table)

Hardison: Wow. I didn't know you could do that.

Parker: I thought everybody could do that

Eliot: Hai! Pain! Honor! Strength! All right. Come at me!

Taggert: No? Well anyway. (pulls a letter from his pocket) Uh, the judge approved Fowler's day pass so he can go see some play his kid is doing at school.

Hardison: Final-freaking-ly, man! I-I love the theater. It's-- "Cats". R- reow

that whole cats thing hits different post-2019

(no doubt, hardison has OPINIONS™ about that movie)

hardison poorly rappelling throughout the series is an aesthetic

Widmark (comes out of the stall): Do you have a lot of friends?

Sophie: No. No, I-I never used to have any. But, um, now, yes, I-I do. A few.

her SMILE your honor

- - - - -

Sophie: Did you know I was an actress?

Widmark: No. Are you good?

Sophie: Well, others don't seem to think so.

Widmark: Maybe they just can't see you for who you are.

Sophie: Do you know what they say about acting? They say it's about telling the truth, about, about sharing a little part of yourself that people don't normally see. But if you don't--if you don't really know yourself then they think you're lying. And I think that's my problem. I've been lying for so long, that, um, I don't even know what the truth is anymore.

Widmark: I don't want to lie to anybody.

Sophie: No. No, you don't have to, Widmark. What you need to do is you just have to go out there and be Widmark. Just tell the truth. Be, be who you really are. If you can do that, then I promise you, people will believe in you

this was a slightly sophie-centric episode and I loved it

- - - - -

Nate: Well, you know, this is interesting. This must be a-a first. I mean, it's the only time I can remember that the con depended solely on you telling the truth. How'd it feel?

Sophie: Eh, good. Don't get used to it.

Nate: Oh, no. No.

Sophie: I start telling the truth all day, I stop being Sophie Devereaux.

Nate: Maybe that's, uh, A good thing. (walks away)

Sophie: Uh-uh

[aj-lenoire]

this is very much a sophie-centric episode, but even so, all the eliot scenes and hardison-and-parker scenes are superb

[pynkhues]

Now that Kendall has confessed to his sibling about the manslaughter, do you think there's still any chance of him talking to Stewy about it? Cause it seems like the only way to get Stewy on his side and mend their relationship...

I'd never say never, but honestly, I'm not sure.

It's a tricky one for a lot of reasons, but in no small part, it's tricky because I think the only reason Kendall actually told Shiv and Roman is that he was at a point where he felt it no longer mattered. I don't think Kendall was actively trying to commit suicide in 3.08, but I think the show made pretty clear that he'd been experiencing suicide ideation explicitly since 2.04 (although I imagine since 1.10) and that he didn't care if he died in the pool.

He was in a situation where he had no exit, no escape, no relief or sanctuary, and telling Shiv and Roman was both a last attempt at connection - a last grasp, a last gasp - and an admission from a man who felt like his fate was determined.

Shiv and Roman, in their awkward, stunted, half-distracted way, choosing to hold onto him and try to scramble him back up over the ledge he was hanging off, was something so deeply emotional but also pretty specific to Kendall's mental state.

Personally, I don't think he would've told them if he wasn't in such a dire state, and I don't think they would've been so capable of hearing him if he wasn't - - well, in such a dire state.

I guess the question then becomes now that he's eased the burden through saying, as Jesse Armstrong put it, the unsayable thing, does that make it easier to tell other people? Especially people who your relationship was altered because of that unsayable thing?

I don't know! Kendall's obviously still consumed with guilt about it, even with Roman attempting to absolve him of that, and what he did is still criminal and still a huge amount of leverage to give to someone else, especially a character like Stewy who's only trustworthy some of the time and is about to be fucked by the Roy family shitshow when he finds out Logan's sold to GoJo.

That said, I do think both Sandi and Stewy are going to be back in a bigger way in s4, especially given Sandi and Shiv are probably one of the few unburnt bridges for the golden trio, and given Stewy still could and did work with Kendall at the shareholders meeting, I'm feeling tentatively hopeful for their relationship in s4 overall? With or without a confession.

LEVERAGE: REDEMPTION 2.04 • The Date Night Job

[literallyshiv]

do you think shiv, like, knows? i just find it so fascinating that she usually clocks things so well but apparently hasn’t noticed anything weird with tom and greg. is it just that she’s come to expect him being that weird? does she know he’s not straight but doesn’t want to acknowledge it even to herself? because what she really wants is for him to need her and needing her for the sake of continuing to closet is just as good as loving her. maybe even better because there’s less risk for her that he’ll see something in her that makes him stop loving her and leave

hi i just wanted to let you know that this concept is making me hysterical in the clinical sense. the idea of shiv seeing what tom is doing and recognizing who he is only for that to become a relief to her because nothing in their relationship is her fault if he never loved her in the first place (not that i think that's the case just that that's the conclusion shiv would come to imo) and this gives her a leg up in their dynamic because knowing about his motivation to leverage her to stay closeted allows her to use that for her own advantages............. im eating glass.

as for whether or not she does know, now, with what exists in canon so far, i'd say she recognizes that tom and greg are close but doesn't see anything usual with their dynamic. when greg is technically tom's assistant it makes perfect sense that they'd stick together at all the events because every other roy brings their assistants along everywhere too. and then if I'm being honest I can't tell if he continues being Tom's assistant or not. the events of 2.04 make it seem like greg gets promoted but it seems like functionally he's still operating as Tom's assistant? so same as before, makes sense that they're always together.

and on top of that all, greg is roy family, and i think shiv probably percieves tom at first as taking greg under his wing to acclimate him to their culture and way of operating, and then later they're just friends. i forget whose post it was but someone described it as greg being the friend tom is allowed to bring with him to family events because as shiv's husband tom is meant to appear with her at the events she attends, but then once they're there she wants to go off on her own and attend to her business without having to keep tom occupied. enter greg, tom's little friend who keeps him out of shiv's hair, and it's a win win all around. there's nothing weird for shiv to notice because the entirety of tom and greg's insanity is kept behind closed doors. when they're in public, it's best appropriate behavior. two guys just standing near each other and talking is nothing to bat an eye at
