It started simply enough - another agent wanted to borrow Neal for a kidnapping case. She didn't start out looking good, ignored Neal's advice and help, and managed to allow him to get kidnapped too, without his anklet. Peter, naturally, showed her up every step of the way, but the thing that got me more than how quick on his feet Peter was was that his primary concern was for the health and safety of Neal and of the kidnapped young lady.
Neal, taken, was forced to charm a woman into giving him information. If he did not succeed, that woman was going to die. And, terrifyingly, for once, Neal's easy charm didn't get him the information he needed - she wasn't willing to get fired for a pretty face. Luckily, Neal can go from charming to distraught (while still charming) in an instant. He played on her maternal instincts and managed to save her life.
Next, still desperate to save the girl, he agreed to steal a briefcase from a very very dangerous man. Lucky for him, Mozzie (Willie Garson), whom he'd managed to contact earlier, showed up and together they pulled a slightly cheesy but very amusing con as FBI agents to get the man to simply hand over the briefcase, leaving with his freedom, if not the contents.
Finally, the girl was saved, and everyone lived happily ever after.
Except, maybe they didn't. Neal is still determined to go after the music box and get Kate back, but Peter's no dummy. He knows what his favourite con man is planning, and he's not going to let him do it.
What will happen in the season finale? How badly will it go for Neal, or is it Peter we should be worrying about?
