Ep 7. The Gone Fishin' Job

With their latest job complete, the Leverage team is feeling pretty good about themselves. As they prepare to move on to the next one, though, they receive an unexpected visitor: Nate's father. The team is surprised, but none more so than Nate, who hasn't seen his dad in years.

Nate's father is a former cop and amateur fisherman, and he's come to Portland to do some fishing. He invites Nate and the team to come along, promising that they'll catch the biggest fish of their lives.

At first, the team is hesitant. They've got work to do, and fishing doesn't exactly seem like it's going to help them accomplish anything. But Nate's father is persistent, and eventually they all agree to go.

As they journey out to sea, the team realizes that this is no ordinary fishing trip. They're not just here to catch fish; they're here to catch a criminal. Nate's father has stumbled upon some information that could lead to the capture of a notorious smuggler, and he's enlisted the team's help to bring him down.

At first, the team is skeptical. They're not exactly experts when it comes to international smuggling operations. But as they dig deeper, they realize that this is something they can handle. They use their skills of deception, hacking, and physical prowess to gather information and prepare for a showdown.

As the team gears up for the mission, they find themselves growing closer to Nate's father. They learn more about him and the sacrifices he made for his family, and they begin to understand why Nate has struggled so much in his relationship with him.

When the time comes to take down the smuggler, the team is ready. They use all their skills and work together with precision to bring him to justice. And along the way, they discover something else - a newfound appreciation for fishing, and the power of family bonds.

In the end, the team returns home, tired but triumphant. They've completed another successful job, but more importantly, they've strengthened their own bonds as a family. Thanks to Nate's father and his insistence on taking them fishing, they all have a new appreciation for what it means to be part of a team.
