The team infiltrates the mystery murder gala of their latest mark (William Russ), only to have the man killed in the middle of the party.

leverage-dvd-season-3Season Three starts in high gear and never really slows down. We begin with the team breaking Nate (Timothy Hutton) out of jail and being given an offer by a mysterious stranger (Elisabetta Canalis) who will guarantee his continued freedom (and their lives) if the team agrees to take down untouchable criminal figure Damien Moreau (Goran Visnjic).

Although the Moreau storyline is integral to the overall story arc of the season, that doesn’t mean we don’t get plenty of episodes of the team doing what they do best. Over the 16 episodes Hardison (Aldis Hodge) plays a Stradivarius to take down the unscrupulous brother (Giancarlo Esposito) of a world leader, Pakrer’s (Beth Riesgraf) past is revealed as we meet the thief (Richard Chamberlain) who trained her, Elliot (Christian Kane) gets a chance to play an up and coming country singer, Nate helps the team take down his father (Tom Skerritt), and they even take time to save Christmas from Wil Wheaton.
