The team goes up against a fellow thief, Gabe Erickson, who conned people out of their life savings but he is protected by the government.

They decide to use his obsession with vintage cars against him to try and follow his money trail to where he’s hidden millions of dollars. Things take an interesting turn when the Marshall protecting him has secrets of her own. Should any of the Leverage crew think about retiring? Is Gabe more evil for stealing money or for spoiling a little girl’s favorite series? All that and more on this episode of Leverage.

They have to work against the clock to turn four congressmen by the time the bill goes up in front of them. Should cheerleading be a sport or an activity? How far of a drop would Parker consider scary? And what the heck is going on with Nate? All that and more on this episode of Leverage.
