While pursuing a murderer/thief, Peter and Neal get in each other's way. Neal, trying to find the music box which is the desire of the man who has Kate, tries to enlist the help of a former college of his, Alexandra (Gloris Votsis). She came closest to getting a hold of the artifact back when others supposed that Neal had taken it. Unfortunately, Peter's arrival at Neal's apartment at a critical moment, as well as his refusal to play Neal's games (he fully admitted to her that he was FBI) put a wrench in those plans.
She got them both back when she got in the way of the operation both her pursuing - the recovering of Japanese jade elephants. Blowing Neal's cover, her anger not only caused him to lose the target, but allowed that suspect to later come and kidnap him. Luckily, he was able to warn Peter through the use of Morse code. He was going to Peter's home. Frankly, an invasion there only balanced their home invasions (this was such an aptly named episode). When Peter was in Neal's home, he not only insisted on watching TV while Neal was trying to read, he also usurped his chair and discovered that Neal was still searching for the music box.
But in the end, despite their bickering and the tension caused from spending too much time together (only last episode, Peter was praising breakfast time because it did not involve Neal), they both still helped each other out and solved the case.
But despite Neal's loyalty to Peter, his desire to save Kate (whether she needs it or not) remains strong. At the end of the episode, Alexandra offered him the chance to get the music box - but not while he still worked with the Feds.
How will it all work out? Only 3 more episode of season 1. I'm glad I'm not going to have to wait too long for season 2 to commence.
