White Collar - Flip of the Coin, S01E04

White Collar continues to please me every week. Matthew Bomer as Caffrey, Tim DeKay as Burke and Tiffani Thiessen as Ellie continue to have fantastic chemistry and timing between the three of them. And Willie Garson as Mozzie, finally allowed to interact with DeKay, completes a solid and terrific cast.

The episodes themselves do not always lend to greater commentary. Yes, I absolutely adored Burke's inability to deal with crying women. Yes, I was quite happy that between Caffrey and Mozzie the job got accomplished with some lovely finessing of the rules. Yes, I love that Neal is as good as he is. But what else can I say? It was good, it was solid, I liked it, and I laughed.

Perhaps we should discuss morality? How do you feel about the FBI working with a convicted felon? Is this a good thing, since Neal so clearly understands the world of con artists and has the skills not only to be one but also to thwart them? Or is he likely to do us all a bad turn and use his time with the FBI not only to get whatever it is that he wants, but also to better avoid them next time?
And what does Neal want? Is it just to find Kate? It it for Kate? But other than a hint about Bordeaux and that X marks the spot we continue to learn little about it.

What are your thoughts?
