This episode was all about the love. In various forms.

For a moment I thought they might hire Kit on as a contractor to augment Luke's lost abilities.

It’s not sure how we’re supposed to read the scene in which Kit and Luke are pulling back clothing to compare their “battle scars.” I vividly remember Eliot and a female Hitter having a similar scene on Leverage that pretty much worked as foreplay, but I don’t think that’s what they were aiming for here. Not that I wouldn’t enjoy them going there - steamy Tim Rozon scenes are always welcome - but it doesn’t seem in character for Luke from what I remember.

They were just trying to one-up each other. You see this a lot in war/soldier movies where they compare battle scars. In the exchange, Luke realized that Kit was the real deal, even if everything he does now is totally fake.

Like the scene in Jaws where Robert Shaw and Richard Dreyfuss compare injuries.

I was going to make another comparison, but got beat to it. 😉

In (faux) reality, though, I think the true intent of the scene was to show Luke’s evolving perception of Kit - from regarding Kit as a total fake, to accepting Kit as a quasi-equal at least.
