I had a bit of antipathy against Luke Perry but recall he was ok in Oz and is an ok guest here. Helps that his character gets pwned.

Tara fake-psychic sparring with Dalton Rand with the help of the crew was fun. Her modern crusty new age look had some neat details.

Another Hyundai product placement? Was it around 2010 when paddle shifters started showing up in mid-tier cars?

Kung Fu Monkey - LEVERAGE #213 "The Future Job" Post-Game: "Also, the partial revelation about Parker's brother was a last minute addition. Dean felt strongly we had to have a real connection to the victim, and also needed to show how even people we consider smart can be duped by these sorts of performers. I am not too proud to admit that I fought him on it, and was ultimately proven wrong not once, but twice. a.) when you see Parker tearing up in the HQ, you absolutely want to murder this guy. b.) Her reaction to the brother's hug -- and what the "missing brother" says about her dynamic with the rest of the team -- added even more dimension to the character Beth's built over the last two years."
