TOP 5 ELIOT/PARKER SCENES (IN CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER)

05. The Cross my Heart Job

Ok so the way I see it, this scene is not really about them getting undressed in front of each other (tho let’s be honest, anyone who says they didn’t  enjoy this is probably lying) but the fact that this wasn’t really necessary for the understanding of the con and they included it anyways, because it’s just another way to show how far these two characters have got in their relationship. They get each other without having to say a word, they’ve opened their hearts and put them in each other’s hands. At this point in the series, they’ve already undressed their feelings and they’ve accepted each other. This scene is just it. There aren’t easy jokes or ambiguous intentions for part of the show. They don’t need to make a big deal about it because they’ve already reached that level of comfortableness around each other. It’s basically the culmination of unconditional trust, emotional and physical intimacy in a 5-seconds scene without any dialogue needed and it’s perfect.

And also very attractive people taking their clothes off.

TOP 5 ELIOT/PARKER SCENES (IN CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER)

eliot: it’s a good thing it was us.
parker: because we’d leave him.
eliot: because they would’ve kept trying and they would’ve froze to death right next to him, especially Hardison. So it was a good thing it was us. The two of us… we do things they can’t… won’t.
parker: does that make us bad?
eliot: it makes us… us. Now, you can take that as a gift… or you can take it as a curse. And that’s up to you.

04. The Long Way Down Job

eliot: You think you know what I’ve done? The worst thing I ever did in my entire life, I did for Damien Moreau. And I… I’ll never be clean of that.
parker: What did you do?
eliot: Don’t ask me that, Parker. Because if you ask me, I’m gonna tell you. So please, don’t ask me.

parker: Cut off his arms. And his head. Yeah. I wanna kill him. Can we make that happen?
eliot: Yeah. I can. I mean, I could…

01. The Future Job

HARDISON: I’m getting some weird feedback. It’s like a— like a whumpa-whumpa.
ELIOT: Wait. What do you mean? What kind of whumpa-whumpa?
HARDISON: I mean, how many kinds are there?
ELIOT: There’s seven of them! Is it a whumpa-pop whumpa-pop?
HARDISON: Are you being serious right now?
ELIOT: Hardison!
HARDISON: It’s like a whumpa-tink whumpa-tink.
ELIOT: All right, Nate. You need to get out of there.

TOP TEN PARKER/HARDISON MOMENTS (SEASON 3)
#08 — 3.07 - The Gone-Fishin’ Job

In the Gone-fishing episode, the team were split into two teams, Eliot/Hardison and Parker/Sophie/Nate. When Parker finds out the boys lives were in danger, her demeanor suddenly changes. The look on her face pulled my heart strings. Even the tone of her voice changed. She sounded like a little girl, so vulnerable. She thought the worse that even Nate had to calm her down and try to make her focus. Once she heard the boys on the coms, she asked for Hardison.

Parker: Hardison, are you okay?

TOP TEN PARKER/HARDISON MOMENTS (SEASON 3)
#09 — 3.10 - The Underground Job

A great small scene for the Pretzels fans. I loved the fact that Parker is now comfortable to sleep in Hardison’s home away from home. Lucille is Hardison’s baby and the fact he allows her to be comfortable in the van, shows how close they have gotten. Also the fact Parker is comfortable having Hardison watching her sleep shows growth in Parker’s character. The Parker in season one wouldn’t do this. I love that she knows where everything is located in the van.
Another great thing about this scene was the fact she observes Hardison and knows that he touches his chin every few seconds.

Hardison: What are you doing?
Parker: (taking a nap) Stealing souls is exhausting.

TOP TEN PARKER/HARDISON MOMENTS (SEASON 3)
#10 — 3.16 - The San Lorenzo Job

This scene might seem innocent but the subtext says otherwise. The way Parker leans into Hardison’s personal space is very telling. This is the same woman that would stab someone with a fork if they were in their space. When she has to grift she has to remind herself not to stab. This has been the theme this whole season. The writers are constantly reminding us how unstable Parker with strangers but they are showing that she is stable with Hardison.

I love the fact that both Parker and Hardison decided to steal some souvenirs to bring back home. A cute way to show that they sometimes think alike.The last scene of Parker and Hardison for season three, one would think there would be more. I mean this relationship has finally begun but it is still a slow slow burn.

———-

Hardison: Geez. What have you got up in here, Parker—some of Moreau’s gold bars?
Parker: Hey, you got your souvenirs, I got mine.
