Nice and smooth.
My man Mr. VI – no, not the one up there – has noted the gnostic and alchemical elements of the episode. I’ll add that, if you count The Doctor twice (because The Architect), the heist team/Invisibles cell is five people…
FOOTNOTE FOR THE EXCESSIVELY GEEKY
The Leverage team can be modelled as having the same format as an Invisibles cell, based around the 5 element structure this:
AIR: (Yellow) – Leader – Nate Ford
EARTH: (Black) – Logistics – Alec Hardison
FIRE: (Red) – Combat/Security – Elliot Spencer
WATER: (Blue) – Psychological Ops – Sophie Devereaux
SPIRIT: (White) – ‘Heart’ – Parker
(There’s also the Brains/Hacker/Hitter/Grifter/Thief pentuplet from the show, but we’ll put that to one side for now…)
In Time Heist, the same Invisibles cell structure would apply, if you include both of The Doctor’s roles:
AIR: (Yellow) – Leader – The Doctor
EARTH: (Black) – Logistics – The-Doctor-as-The-Architect
FIRE: (Red) – Combat/Security – Psi
WATER: (Blue) – Psych Ops – Saibra
SPIRIT: (White) – ‘Heart’ – Clara (damn it)
