Nate: My wife? You recruited my - my wife - as your backup?
Sophie: Ex. He never says ex-wife!
Maggie: I always do. Nate, I’m sorry about Jimmy. You should have called me.
Nate: Wow. Well, I didn’t want - you know, this is way out of line, Sophie. I mean-
Sophie: What? You said get someone not in the game. I don’t know anyone not in the game. Maggie is the only honest person I know.
Maggie: Aww.
Nate: But you didn’t tell me! 
Maggie: Because we knew you’d do this!  
Nate: Do what?
Sophie: We’re friends. And I got to say, she’s turning into quite the grifter.
Maggie: Now that you two are together, when Sophie asks me for a favor, how could I refuse?
Nate: Uhhhh…
Sophie: Look at that. He looks like a slapped mackarel. Uh, I’ll wait for you across the street.
Maggie: All right. 
Nate: You know, for the record, I just want you to know that when we were together, well, nothing ever happened with her, you know as far as-
Maggie:  Oh, God, Nate. Always the Jesuit. If temptation counted as cheating, no marriage would make it past the first year. Imagine what it was like for me, you bringing James around all those years.
Nate: James? …Sterling?
Maggie: We better hurry. Latimer will be waking soon. It’s your master plan. Pity if we miss it.
Nate: Seriously? Sterling?
Maggie: Seriously.

Leverage 4.18 The Last Dam Job

Leverage; 2.15 - The Maltese Falcon Job
Leverage; 4.10 - The Queen’s Gambit Job

I’m gonna get out of the tags for this one because I really have a lot of feelings about how Sterling and Maggie (at a different, more emotional level, and damn I do love how the woman can read him as a book and how nobody drops a truth bomb as gracefully as she does) are the characters that articulate Nate’s identity arc in this show and how it is right because they are the ones that’ve seen every stage of the recognition of his ‘new’ identity.

I really love how this show chooses to use Sterling and Maggie’s characters in relation to Nate because if the team represents Nate’s present, his new life Maggie and Sterling are the ones that remind him of his past so every time they make an appearance, we’re not just talking about great side characters returning, we’re talking about a physical representation of Nate’s past life coming back and since they’re not overusing the characters, but bringing them back in key occasions, you can see perfectly how Nate has changed since the first season just through the way he interacts with those characters and how they react at each other since the beginning of the show.

Season 1
MAGGIE: Will you stop now?
NATE: I don’t know.
MAGGIE: Interesting. You admitting you don’t know something.

——-

Season 2

 

NATE: I’m sorry I lied to you, Maggie.
MAGGIE: So am I.
NATE: This isn’t what I wanna do.
MAGGIE: Now, that’s the lie.

You can take any different exchange between them (some of them separated by entire seasons) and the fact that you can clearly see those changes in their interactions, how they react at each other slightly differently every time they share a scene together because they’re not the same people, they’re constantly growing and evolving as characters gives me FEELINGS every time because guys, this show treats ALL its characters as human beings and their narrative arcs are so thoughtfully crafted and the characters are so multi-layered and intertwined and none of them is taken lightly and everyone affects everyone in different ways to the point there should be a whole encyclopedia on the characters of this show and their relationships with each other because they’re infinite.

On a related note, I love how everyone spent three seasons talking about how Sterling never loses and then The Queen Gambit happened and it turned out Sterling never loses because he already lost everything. And when I say “I love” I mean that last scene with the two of them and Olivia makes me emotional because this. fucking. show knows exactly what it’s doing and it’s beautiful.

But worst of all, he completely forgot that I gave him that same button-cam for Christmas three years ago.
