Review #3644: White Collar 4.5: “Honor Among Thieves”
Contributor: Gregg Wright
Written by Joe Henderson

With the opening scene taking place at Ellen’s funeral, the only thing left for Neal now is to find this “Sam”, mentioned by Ellen in her dying breaths, and find out what he knows. Sam makes a covert visit to the funeral, but given that the person he’d come to meet in New York was killed for knowing too much, he can’t be blamed for running off when Neal call his name and make chase. From this point on, we learn nothing else about Sam or the people behind Ellen’s death. In that respect, it’s a bit satisfyingly, but I liked how the episode pitted Neal’s desire for more information over his loyalty to Peter.
The case-of-the-week revolves around an art thief, brought to sultry life by “LOST” alum Rebecca Mader, who is in the process of casing out her next big score. Diana seems to hit it off with the red-headed Abigail (which nicely coincides with Diana’s relationship troubles at home), so the White Collar team decide to take advantage of this, hoping to set Abigail up and take her down during the theft. It all would have gone swimmingly, if not for Abigail recognizing Neal Caffrey as the legendary con man, forger, and art thief that he is.
