no y’all don’t get it, the reason Jenna doesn’t connect the dots and figures out that Leverage is secretly being her guardian angels is that the dots connect to make an absolutely ridiculous picture!
Like! She’s very smart and very willing to throw herself into risky situations to do what she thinks is right and I love her, but no matter how clever you are “a bunch of super thieves/vigilantes are also trying to take this guy down and are now secretly helping me by making a bunch of random but not that incredibly unlikely shit happen” is just. like. c’mon. if you say you’d figure that out while in a ridiculously stressful situation in which you constantly put yourself at risk of worst case getting raped and best case losing your job and possibly getting sued, you’re lying.
Yeah the team’s cons are obvious to us! bc we know them! but normal ppl don’t connect “venue shut down bc food poisoning” and “randomly found a singer at a completely different venue” and “there was a fire alarm” bc all those things can in fact happen, for them all to happen in quick succession is random and lucky but it’s not “omg someone is spying on me and??? giving me?????? things i need?”
#leverage redemption#the belly of the beast job#someone was like why doesn't she recognize the sound of tapped phones?#uh? bc she doesn't know what that sounds like? she's a civilian as Eliot said?#would you recognize the sound of a tapped phone?#you sure you wouldn't also dismiss it with an ''eh probably the connection being bad for a second''?#i love her#she's young and bright and clever and naive to a degree too yeah#she thinks no i'll be careful this won't happen to me#and she's right bc she's being watched over#i don't think she's letting herself think about what could happen#she just runs and runs and keeps going and it's working! it's working! so she's really excited and can't really believe it#so she doesn't question it and she doesn't hesitate or waste time figuring out who tf that food truck woman is#she'll probably decompress and a few days after the events of the episode shoot up in bed and go#omg the woman in the how to crack a safe video was the waiter at that bar#and then she'll put all that energy into figuring that out#but in the moment? too much adrenaline
