History Recap / LeverageS01E13TheSecondDavidJob

* NotHelpingYourCase: Sterling insists that the unknown gas released into the case holdings the Davids isn't a chemical attack, it's a robbery. This does little to reassure the people who are already panicking.

* {{Bookends}}: As with the pilot, we get a crane shot of everyone walking away from one another after a successful caper.

Later, they meet at a mansion that Hardison bought as his new safe house (that used to be MC Hammer's) and ask Nate how he knew. Nate tells them that the security system has not been fully operational, so this is the best time they had to try pulling off the heist. Everyone argues over whether or not they could pull off the con, except Nate, who instead tells them the details of the new security system. The team realize that there's a restoration room directly below the museum and decide to use it to their advantage. But since the museum personnel and security staff will recognise all of them, they need a new face. Parker suggests Maggie, and Sophie agrees since she recently bumped into her and Maggie works at the restoration room. At the museum, Blackpoole introduces Sterling to Dr Lloyd and Maggie and explains to them the new security functions. Blackpoole added that all the paintings around the Two Davids belong to him or a client from IYS and is committed to protecting them at all cost. Just then, Maggie receives a call from Dr. Sinclair (Eliot's cover from the other night) to have a cup of coffee with him. Maggie agrees.

Back at the mansion, while the crew gets ready, Sophie tries to apologize to Eliot, but Parker and Hardison tell him that she apologised to them first (and screwed up the speech). He eventually forgives her. On opening day, while Blackpoole introduces his art and the Two Davids, Sterling's right-hand-man Geary goes through what Sterling said about Nate's crew. Sterling thinks that someone's hiding in the sarcophagus but it's actually a real mummy inside; the team was already in the museum in disguise when Sterling and Geary passed them. Suddenly a gas fills the Two Davids' case as the security alert goes off, prompting everyone to escape. Nate gives the signal once everyone evacuates. Closed, Blackpoole and Sterling have to exit the museum while Nate and his crew successfully infiltrate the place. Worse, everyone in the museum seems to have copies of the ''Art/{{David}}'' statue (thanks to Parker). Once they manage to open the security locks, Blackpoole, Sterling, Maggie, Dr. Lloyd and the guards appear to see the Two Davids still in the case with Nate standing right beside it.

* KansasCityShuffle: Nate had Blackpoole and Sterling thinking he was going to steal the two David’s. It was a decoy; he had the other artworks on display with the statues stolen instead, their total worth over $150 million.

* PercussiveTherapy: Maggie finds much relief in decking Blackpoole in the end.

* ExactWords: Nate tells Ian he will rob "the two Davids' gallery" not steal them, just hit the gallery. Ian misses this and doesn't think Nate is after anything else save the Davids.

* EvilCannotComprehendGood: Blackpoole seriously does not seem to understand why Nate and Maggie are so upset over what was, to him, a business decision, honestly thinking they should have gotten over their son's death easier. He truly acts like ''he's'' the one being betrayed and shocked when Maggie punches him.

* NoExceptYes: It's not extortion, it's "oversight".
