And who wants to be invited to Sophie and Nate’s wedding? All that and more on this episode of Leverage.

Ep 3 - The Wedding Job

Episode 3 - The Wedding Job

Slight delay in releasing the episode this week. You can blame Jachelle's pathetic excuse for a computer. Seriously. This thing is so bad it would bring Hardison to tears. If computers were people, this thing would be the smelly kid in the back of the class who eats dirt and pulls the pigtails of the girl sitting in front of him.

While Jachelle contemplates the pros and cons of computer homicide, please enjoy the latest episode of The Long Con! It's episode three, and sticking with the episode order of the DVDs, we're covering The Wedding Job this week. Tune in while we discuss Nate and Sophie's relationship, how the team is getting along, awesome guest stars, and all that other stuff.
