When a privately owned painting was stolen from a home, Peter and Neil set out to recover it. Peter was concerned about the temptation of the painting, fearing Neil would steal it, and he was not wrong. After some dealing, Neal stole the painting from the original thief, and then made a counterfeit of it. Only, he didn't do it for himself. He did it because a museum was claiming ownership when the private owner had the true right.
I've heard rumours that White Collar may be rethought a little before it comes back after the Christmas hiatus, when it will be airing on Tuesdays instead of Fridays. I'm not sure what they are planning to rethink - the only thing I wish was different (though that may change after I've viewed the 6th and 7th episodes, which have already aired and are the last in December) is I wish the writers would give Bomer and DeKay a few more opportunities for banter, and that they would review what made it spark in the premiere and recapture that. I love Ellie (Tiffani Theissan) and Peter's relationship, I love Mozzie (Willie Garson) and that Neal also has someone to rely on. I think the show has a great concept, and I am excited to learn more about the ongoing arc about Kate.
Speaking of Kate, we actually got to meet her this episode, and I was not impressed. With her, I mean. Though Neal refused to hand over his stash to the man with the ring because he knew it was all the leverage he had, and once he handed it over, there was nothing ensuring Kate's safety, I couldn't help but thinking that I did not trust Kate, and that I could not understand why Neal felt the way he does about her. I will be interested to see if she is indeed betraying him, as I suspect now, or if the scene was poorly directed or acted. Neal's dedication to her cannot be doubted. Then again, she may have been being watched when she contacted him, but I'm not sure. It is a mystery, and I love how slowly yet consistently it is unraveled.
What is your opinion on Kate?
