Leverage: Redemption - The Belly of the Beast Job

In one of the more interesting setups of the relaunched series, “The Belly of the Beast Job” features our team taking on a sexual predator of a music producer (Jeffrey Vincent Parise) but keeps them mostly in the background allowing the guest-stars to take over center stage when the naive Jenna (Emily Hall) gets hired for the new assistant position that their plans relied on. Working their way around less access than they planned, Leverage gives Jenna the proper nudges at the right time to lead her to uncover the truth about her boss and expose him, and his crooked business partner (Gail Rastorfer), to the world.

Immaculate

Sydney Sweeney stars as a novice recruited to be a nun at at a remote convent in the Italian countryside where older nuns are taken care of in their final days. From the pre-credit sequence, involving a nun frantically attempting to flee the order only to be tracked down and buried alive, it’s obvious to the audience there’s something dark happening in the convent long before Sister Cecilia (Sweeney) arrives. Not long after arriving, Cecilia discovers she is pregnant, leading the nuns treat her as a new Virgin Mary… well, except for the one (Giulia Heathfield Di Renzi) who attempts to drown Cecilia out of jealousy.

Zatanna: Bring Down the House #3

Zatanna spends most of the third issue being talked at by both the Casters and the Order of the Rabbits who magicsplain and accuse the young woman.. Sticking up for herself, and to her story that she hasn’t used magic since she was a child, Zatanna is frazzled by the end of the issue and at her wits end (especially after learning that, perhaps without meaning to, she has indeed been using magic). The introduction of John Constantine to the story may provide more answers but probably won’t lower her stress level.

Delicious in Dungeon - Dumplings

Although it ends the season without any further action toward finding the Mad Mage or rescuing Falin (Lisa Reimold), the final two episodes of the First Season of Delicious in Dungeon provide plenty of stand-out moments. First, we get a proper backstory for Senshi (SungWon Cho) explaining his time in the tunnels and his reaction to the Griffin. Laios (Damien C. Haas) helps put him at ease with the latter with the help of the same monsters who cause the party a different kind of trouble. Senshi’s flashbacks take an incredibly dark turn, with old fears being dragged back into the light. Thankfully, Laios’ gamble pays off and allows his friend to find peace.
