The leads in this show all have terrific chemistry, and their timing is always spot on. The comments, pointed or absolutely absurd, are delivered with the exact right emphasis every time, and the methods used by both Peter (Tim DeKay) and Neal (Matthew Bomer) makes sense, are credible, and still give the impression that solving the cases they work on is difficult, and proving them is even more so. What more can you want from a procedural.
In this episode, while the quips reigned, the development of the tension between Peter and Neal, and Fowler (Noah Emmerich) moved steadily forward as it was interwoven with another case our heroes were working. Isn't it lovely when you can hurt your enemy while also saving the home of a 6 year old girl?
Through Neal's clever manipulations (as well as his careful and neat trick for forging a signature), and Peter's ability to bend those manipulations to the law, they were able to throw a major hitch in Fowler's plans by arresting the judge he had in his pocket, and forcing him to arrest her so that suspicion didn't land on him.
One of my favourite things about this show is the degree of trust all of the characters have for each other. Yes, there are things that they keep hidden, but most of the time this is out of a sense of shame or pride or fear, rather than of lack of trust. It actually gives me hope, while we are watching frauds and cheating going on, to be able to believe that there are people in the world who care about each other and trust each other so well.
Do you feel the same?
