Please, renew In The Flesh!
Okay but you COULD do a Dracula episode of Leverage and it would be hilarious.
I would do it like this. We'd have some wrong place wrong time protagonist called Jonathan who keeps accidentally witnessing parts of the con in such a way that they appear to him to replicate the events of Dracula. Like, the crew has inhabited some castle but Oh No, the mark's innocent little lawyer man is here, can't let him catch on
Sophie yeets the mirror because our friend Jonathan is about to accidentally see the crew hard at work behind him and she panics. "Oh you don't need this honey" or whatever (something something man's vanity)
He happens to open the window and Parker is just climing the castle like a lizard because that's. What she does
Nate is in an Old Guy disguise for one part of the con, but then Jonathan Not In On It happens to see him out of costume and WTF WTF WHY IS HE GETTING YOUNGER
Letters with fake dates make perfect sense when it's a con
Gets home happens to see the Leverage crew just walking around for the next part of the con, freaks tf out
Quincey Morris is exactly the kind if character Eliot would play
Sophie gets made, decides to have an elaborate Death Scene wherein Elliot and Hardison (as a "definitely licensed doctor") "help" the Mark try to "save" her
Parker plays Hardison's "assistant" but she plays it very VERY Renfield. Jonathan swears he can see her eating bugs (maybe it's a com that she panics and pretends to eat to not give away the game)
Poor Jonathan again sees her up and about post death scene and is like WTF WTF WTF
Eventually they cotton on to what has happened and Elliot (who hasn't been made yet) promises to help Jonathan kill the vampire once and for all
All of their aliases are drawn from Dracula and this is not played as intentional in-universe
Anyway, the whole thrust is that it's a perfectly normal Leverage episode except for one guy who, due to an increasingly unfortunate series of coincidences, believes he is in the novel Dracula. Like Rear Window, only it's Leverage Dracula.
