The Leverage crew tackles a pyramid scheme which has ensnared the granddaughter (Taina Dominguez) of one of Sophie‘s (Gina Bellman) old associates (Max Baker). “The Pyramid Job” plays on several common themes of Leverage: Redemption with Harry (Noah Wyle) getting in over his head as part of the con attempting to bromance one-half of the couple (Christopher Gorham) running the scam and teasing more information about Sophie’s past.
