#the frame up job is my favorite episode of leverage because it's a stupid who-dun-it and a love story and a sophie expose all in one

Season 5 Episode 10 'The Frame Up Job' you will always be famous to me. Easily the best Sophie episode in the entire show. The trio get a spy thriller and Sophie gets this melancholy episode about the connection between two artists whose work is only seen by such a tiny sliver of the world. It's the natural peak of Sophie Devereaux's character. She loves tragic artists because she is a tragic artist. Ma Mystere not as a vanity piece but as one boy painting the entirety of this girl who will never seen so completely again. A portrait so complete that even Sophie doesn't know what it looks like. Dunno. It's just wild to me.
