Ep 1. The Debutante Job

The description for the show Leverage: Redemption season 2 episode 1 named "The Debutante Job" revolves around the Leverage team, who is back in action to help others in need. The episode starts with the team of former criminals assembling for a new mission, but it seems like they lack the coordination required to pull off a flawless operation. This episode depicts how they work together and utilize their particular skills to achieve the intended mission.

As the mission begins, the team sets off to help a teenage girl named Anna who had been disowned by her father, a billionaire businessman after she refused to marry his designated groom. The twist in the plot is that Anna's father is hosting a debutante ball as a part of her sister's coming-out party, and this is where the mission takes place.

The Leverage team is tasked with infiltrating the ball and exposing Anna's father's murky business practices to the public. However, it's easier said than done, as their plan hits a snag when they wrongly assume Anna's father is having an affair instead of being tangled with a shady business deal with criminals.

The team's plan hinges on Sophie's (Gina Bellman) plan to enrol Anna to the debutante ball, and it takes them several tries to get it right. As they work to ensure Anna's debut meets the high standards, they become frustrated with the strict rules of the debutante ball society, making their mission more challenging.

Meanwhile, Parker's (Beth Riesgraf) mission is to steal Anna's father's diamonds hidden in his safe. However, she discovers other plans underway that could jeopardize the team's mission. Alec (Aldis Hodge) works his tech magic to uncover the dark secrets of Anna's father's business deals, which Nate (Timothy Hutton) can use to blackmail him.

The highlight of this episode is the debutante ball itself, where multiple storylines come together. As Sophie and Nate work to expose Anna's father's secrets, Eliot (Christian Kane) goes on a wild goose chase trying to track down Anna's sister, who mysteriously disappears during the ball. Meanwhile, Parker carries out her objective to steal the diamonds and gets discovered in the process, causing a fear of exposure.

Finally, the Leverage team successfully fulfils their mission and exposes Anna's father's corrupt ways, turning him over to the authorities. It's also revealed that the Leverage team's actions have saved hundreds of children's lives, making their mission worthwhile. The episode concludes with Anna being adopted by the Leverage team, who becomes her new family.

In conclusion, Leverage: Redemption season 2 episode 1 named "The Debutante Job" showcases how the Leverage team helps those in need, even if the mission is complicated. The episode is filled with action and suspense, engaging viewers from the beginning to the end. The intricate plan and character interplay are what makes this episode worth watching.
