White Collar - Free Fall, S01E07

Oops, back when I was watching the first 7 episodes of White Collar, I forgot to blog about the seventh episode. About to begin publishing my thoughts on episodes 8-14, I figure I had better fill in that blank.

The crime was the robbery of an expensive necklace, which was to be displayed on living models. I loved when Neal (Matthew Bomer) told the model missing the necklace (well, she had a replica) that she had just become a very beautiful crime scene. That man simply radiates charm.

Then they got to meet another reputed conman, possibly one more talented than Neal. Neal was beside himself with excitement, explaining to Peter (Tim DeKay) that it would be as if the FBI agent were about to met Elliot Ness. I can't imagine any cop not considering that an honour. As Neal shook his hero's hand, he told him "I love you alleged work."

Naturally, Neal was framed for the crime, and Peter was forced to arrest him. Still, nothing can easily stop Caffrey, and he had expected the arrest, and so a beautiful escape route planned, right out of the Judge's window onto the awning below and away.

In the end, Neal was cleared, and things went back to normal. Only Kate (Alexandra Daddario) was still held by someone, apparently an agent of the FBI. Was it Peter? It certainly looked that way as he met in a hotel room with Kate, wearing the same ring as the man in the photo. Has our beloved Peter betrayed our beloved Neal? A perfect place to go on hiatus for the Christmas break.

So, remember, when you finish watching this episode, give yourself a few weeks to stew before finding out what happens next!
