When I last watched, Peter (DeKay) met up with Neal (Bomer)'s missing girl, Kate (Alexandra Daddario). It looked like Peter had been playing Neal the entire time. Not that we wanted to believe that, but of course, that's the beauty of good television - camera angles and incomplete scenes can makes us think exactly what they want us to think.
So, coming back, we think Peter might have betrayed Neal, and Neal thinks so too. He's contemplating running again, but he's still doing his best to work for the FBI. The mark is a boiler room operation (you know, where suckers by stocks from brokers who take their money and run). Neal, of course, gets to shine as he easily convinces a whole lot of people to buy stocks, gaining the confidence of the big boss and therefore allowing the FBI to stop the operation.
Unfortunately, there are tensions during the operation, and Neal angrily tells Peter that he knows he's got Kate. Luckily, Neal still manages to trust Peter through the motions, and they don't completely blow their covers. Instead, they manage to use the tension to their advantage.
And then we got what had to be the most touching example of how much Neal trusts Peter. Not only did he tell Peter of his suspicions, he then sat down with him and Ellie (Tiffani Thiessen) to discuss his fears and what was going on.
Naturally, Peter withheld information about his meet with Kate, but obviously Peter isn't our bad guy. In fact, the scene between he and Kate, which we were shown, reinforces my negative opinion of her. Peter doesn't think she ever loved Neal, although Neal refuses to even admit that as a possibility.
And the best part of it all is that we learn that Kate and her captor are after a music box which Neal never actually stole. Oh he gave off the impression that he had taken it when it disappeared, but he was not the actual thief. And now he has to work his magic and get it so that he can figure out why it is so important.
Great show, great premise, glad to be watching it again.
