The Lost Heir Job - Recap
At a hospital, charity director Ruth Walton arrives to visit a suffering patient, Bennett Kimball. Ruth shows him the pictures of the children he helped and explains that his lawyer has cut him off from everyone. Kimball doesn't recognize her and calls her "Gigi". The lawyer, Peter Blanchard, arrives, and Ruth tells Kimball that he has to fight and keep Blanchard from taking his money. Blanchard has a cop friend, Bruce Lind, get her out.
Sophie wakes up in London and finds Nate at her doorstep. He asks her to come back, insisting that they need him. Sophie wonders if the group needs her, or Nate needs her. He passes on the question and asks her to be there when he meets with the new client. When he asks if she'll be there, Sophie doesn't say anything.
In Boston, Nate is waiting and Ruth's lawyer, Tara Carlisle, arrives and introduces herself, explaining that Kimball just passed away. Ruth arrives and explains that she runs a non-profit company that moves children from foster care into adoption. Kimball made a series of large donations and near the end of his life, claimed that he drafted a new will leaving his money to charity. However, Blanchard has redirected the money and plans to make sure Ruth's organization gets nothing, and Ruth has no evidence of the new will. As Ruth leaves, Nate talks to Tara, who has been taking notes and interrupting throughout the meeting. She's skeptical of Nate's background and insists that they should go through the probate court. Nate warns that it won't work and Tara insists that she be with him during the entire operation. She gives him her card and warns that if she isn't in, and then Ruth is out. Nate is sure the team will hate the idea.
The team hates the idea and objects to Nate visiting with Sophie when he doesn't want them to call her. When Nate tries to deny it, Hardison brings up the video footage. He finally admits he talked to her and he doesn't think she's coming back. Nate has them run a background check on Tara, figuring it can't hurt if she's clean. Hardison brings up Kimball's record, which reveals he had a long history of shady deals and polluted lands. Thanks to Blanchard's work, Kimball maintained his record as a pillar of the community. Blanchard covered for all of Kimball's activities and Kimball made him the executor of his estate. When Kimball had a deathbed conversion, Blanchard didn't play along. Blanchard will go to probate court in three days to take control of the estate. They need a skeleton to force Blanchard to pay off to Ruth's charity.
Hardison checks Tara's record and determines that she has a legitimate background as a crusader. Nate introduces her to the team and they meet at a low-security prison. P.J. Orson, Kimball's former partner, is being held there. They believe he arranged Kimball's payment of $50,000 to a Mob hitman through a front company, Lamond Holdings. They plan to go undercover but Tara suggests they just talk to Orson. She gives it a try and Orson doesn't want to talk to them. He'd rather stay in minimum security with his friends and avoid his alimony payments. Nate sends Parker to investigate Blanchard's office and Eliot and Hardison to put the pressure on Orson.
Posing as a Las Vegas lawyer, Nate sets himself up to meet Blanchard and has Tara wait outside. Nate meets with a judge and says he's connected to the Kimball probate case, making sure that Blanchard overhears him.
Eliot and Hardison go in posing as prison guards transferred from a maximum-security prison. Once they're alone with Orson, Hardison plays the role of a psycho guard while Eliot slips a shiv into Orson's pocket.
Parker breaks into Blanchard's office and locates his safe.
Hardison is playing chess with Orson when Eliot comes over and conducts a weapon search. They find the shiv and Hardison claims Orson threatened him. With a little work they make sure it appears that Orson is with the Aryan Nation. Hardison brings up the Las Vegas company and Orson quickly calls in Tara to tell him the payments were made to a George Gilbert. Nate sets up a meeting with Blanchard while Hardison is unable to get a lead on the Gilbert name. During the meeting, Parker breaks into Blanchard's safe. Meanwhile, Nate brings up Kimball's history and Blanchard's cover-ups, and then Lamond Holdings. Hardison finally finds the information and determines the payment was for Georgia Gilbert, a stripper. Lamond Holdings was set up to pay her $50,000. Nate pushes it and Blanchard says that Kimball wanted to marry her and Blanchard paid her to leave. He insists that with Kimball dead, it's irrelevant. Nate pushes it and says that Gilbert was pregnant. Now Kimball's natural-born daughter wants a payoff. Blanchard wants to see the daughter and Nate emphasizes the word "safe." Parker comes out of the office, the safe unopened and Nate introduces her as Lizzie, Georgia's daughter. Blanchard refuses to cave and invites them to leave.
Back at the apartment, Hardison pulls up everything on Georgia and it turns out she was pregnant, gave up the baby for adoption, and died of cancer. They figure that Blanchard paid off Georgia to leave, and Kimball figured she dumped him. Hardison can't get into the adoption records on the real daughter, and he can't fake a DNA test. They have to convince him not to ask for a DNA test, but they won't be the ones to do it.
Tara goes to see Blanchard, claiming Nate came to see her with Kimball's long-lost daughter. she says they should get a DNA test but warns that if Parker is the daughter, they'll have to live with the results. Hardison has set up a fake file and made sure Blanchard has it. Tara warns that her client will fight it in probate for years and Blanchard agrees not to do the DNA test. Outside, Tara admits she enjoyed running the scam just a little.
Blanchard, eager to get the money he thinks he is, tells his man Lind to dispose of Parker once and for all. He has his secretary set up a meeting with Nate for the next day.
As Tara and Ruth go to probate court, Nate and Parker go to the meeting site at a deserted road by the river. Lind is there, ready to take them out with a rifle. Eliot spots him and takes him out, letting him run away. Nate figures Blanchard will pay them at the courtyard and sends Eliot and Parker to the courthouse. A short distance away, Lind reports to Blanchard that he failed. Blanchard shoots him in the leg and tells his men to call it in and claim that Parker did it.
Parker and Eliot head for the courthouse while Hardison confirms that there's an APB on Parker. The police catch up to them and they're forced to run. Blanchard calls Nate and suggests that Parker disappear. Nate tells Hardison via radio to delay Blanchard.
The police corner Parker and Eliot. Eliot refuses to hit a cop.
In the courtroom, the judge demands to know where Tara's witness is.
Blanchard arrives at the courthouse and Hardison bumps into him, slipping a gun-shaped foil package into his briefcase and old keys into his pocket. When Blanchard goes through the metal detector, the guards find the keys and spot the gun-shaped foil on the x-ray machine. The security guards take him into custody.
One of the policemen finds Parker. Eliot disarms him, and then takes the man's stun gun and gives it to Parker. When the second policemen arrives, Parker stuns him. Eliot advices the first policeman to forget that he saw them.
Hardison slips into the courtroom just ahead of Blanchard. The judge wants to know where Nate is and the judge gets things moving. Nate is running for the courtyard, figuring it's all up to Tara. Eliot and Parker can't get in because of the police locking down the building. Nate contacts them via radio and tells them he has something else for Parker to do.
Tara calls Ruth to the stand to testify to Kimball's mental state. Blanchard responds by noting that Kimball was declared incompetent two years ago and there is no revised will. Nate arrives with the claim that he has found a missing heir. The judge calls upon him to speak immediately and Nate enters in the records showing that Georgia Gilbert bore Kimball's daughter. Blanchard claims it's a shakedown and demands to see Parker. Nate asks Ruth one question: what color is his tie. Ruth says that she's color-blind and Nate shows the medical records for Kimball showing that he was color-blind. The file on Georgia Gilbert confirms that she's color-blind. Nate notes that only a color-blind father and mother can produce a color-blind child. Ruth is astonished but Nate explains that she was adopted herself at the age of 2 in the state of Nevada. Kimball called her Gigi because she really was Georgia Gilbert: "G.G." In his delirium, Kimball thought Ruth was her mother, his lover. Blanchard and Tara both move for a delay and Kara asks for a DNA test. The judge agrees, confident that she'll validate Ruth's claim. Parker arrives and reveals that she cleaned out Blanchard's safe of all the files and they have plenty of incriminating evidence on him. Without the money from the Kimball estate, Blanchard can't pay off Lind and keep the police away. Tara suggests that she thinks Nate has learned something from her about letting the law handled things.
At the bar, Nate explains that Kimball tried to start things from scratch with his newly found daughter, and wanted to leave his daughter with a fresh impression. They note that Tara isn't there and Ruth says that Tara wasn't her lawyer, and Tara said she was with Nate.
The team returns to the apartment and finds Tara there. She introduces herself as Tara Cole, a friend of Sophie's. Sophie sent her after Nate admitted they needed a grafter. Tara explains that she lied so she could se how good they are, and so they could see how good she is. As they start arguing, Nate confirms her story via the introductory letter from Sophie. Sophie asked them to give Tara a shot and Nate welcomes her on board. As she leaves, she hands over an invoice for her cut of the inheritance.
