The fake movie is pretty damn priceless honestly :P

I always sort of forget how delightful the movie bits of this are.

I love how this one gets into showing us how they can do the other roles, and how they're starting to trust the coaching in a particualar way.

(And Hardison and Parker talking about their pasts, and him understanding, and just being right there for her even when she doesn't know it never gets old.)

This one is tough for me to watch, although apparently the orphanage parts are based on real-life ones.

The fake movie was also based on the cast and crew's personal experiences and I loved it.

Parker stabbing a man, yes. Hardison drinking European orange soda, double yes.

As much as I love to see Eliot fight, I loved the scene where he comes out of the warehouse and you didn't see any of the fight.
