I’m not sure what I want more

mcsweeten being in leverage redemption and still having not a clue that parker and hardison are, in fact, not federal agents and are actually world-class criminals

or at some point between the finale and now he did find out, and then some government official gets wind of one of their heists and is jabbing their finger at a blurry image of parker and hardison mid-thievery and with a completely straight face, mcsweeten explains that guys, those are agents hagen and thomas and they are working on an undercover op and were in no way at all involved of what is inconveniencing the government now

and the government official keeps trying to explain they are criminals but mcsweeten just pulls up their dossiers and credentials and he can literally see the vein throbbing in the man’s forehead but he just smiles says that he has personally worked with agent hagen and would trust her with his life

Ok but consider this the team comes clean and Mcsweeten takes it hard and says he needs some times alone . After a few days they go to check on him and find his apartment empty. Panicking they go to the FBI and find out that his office is empty too. After some discrete probing from Sophie they discover that Mcsweeten never existed . Apparently this was a brilliantly crafted false personality used by a mysterious spy who has managed to infiltrate the highest levels of the FBI

The team stunned and with their professional pride hurt decade to join in on the task force designed to hunt Mcsweeten . They finally track him down and burst into the warehouse only see … a surprise party with every member of the task force they thoguht they left in the dust and Mcsweeten who goes “I loved your prank where you tried to make me think you were criminals so I decided to play one on you as well. Thgouht it would be great for team building !”

And the episode just ends with the team unable to decide if Mcsweeten is really that oblivious or if he really is playing a massive prank on them

sterling is so funny because the leverage crew gives him endless grief and they snark at him and he snarks back but god forbid some other department wants to jail them or something because excuse me that’s his group of bothersome thieves and no one can touch them except him

okay but white collar crossover where interpol is called into the fbi for a case of art theft in nyc and sterling IMMEDIATELY ids the thiefsome from like the two (2) very blurry images they managed to get and the harvard team is speculating the hell out of them

and sterling is just like,,, wow this is new, I’ve never seen this before *whistles*

and peter can TOTALLY tell sterling knows more than he’s letting on and is like,,, sir,,, pls tell me what you know about these thieves

and sterling just grins and says ‘I have no idea what you’re talking about’ very unconvincingly (for the meme, of course) so of course peter knows he’s lying but his voice also left no room for questioning so he’s fuming in the background because he doesn’t want an unsolved case to bring down their closure rate

meanwhile neal is super suspicious of sterling because he totally gets the vibe that he’s covering for these thieves and the sterling that chased him five years ago like a hound for a degas he stole would never do something like that so he’s like ???

bonus:

mcsweeten just happens to be there and he lowkey knows that they are thieves but, like, goodthieves that helped him solve the db cooper case for his father and have always been nothing but nice to him

and he totally catches on that this weird interpol guy is covering for them too and just plays along with him

mcsweeten: guys, come on! those are agents hagen and thomas, just undercover!!!

peter: ,,,what

mcsweeten: yeah! hagen and thomas helped us catch the mosconis and this dirty guy fowler, and a few other cases

peter, shaking: these are clearly thieves

mcsweeten: I have personally worked with them and I would trust them with my life

peter, about to have a stress headache: I-

sterling: idk guys, that seems pretty convincing to me

+ a week later sterling and mcsweeten have started having semi-weekly brunches bonding over their group of troublesome but inherently good thieves
