White Collar 2x07: Prisoner's Dilemma...
I thought this was the best episode this season.
It was a great joy to see Peter Burke in a t-shirt. Majorly sexy. That itself would have delighted me about this episode. But further:
- Elizabeth is back. And her interaction with Peter at the beginning was terrific - and steamy. Too bad her later scenes were with Mozzie, not Neal.
- I liked the way Peter Burke and Jack Franklin were competing as to who had the best CI - I assume 'best' means 'sexiest' here. Of course I was rooting for Neal.
- I really liked Neal's scam at the car dealership, getting on to the girl's computer.
- Love affair with Lamborghinis. I like Peter's look of glee. How does Peter ever manage to pass as a grown-up, let alone a straight-arrow FBI agent? He seems to have even Neal fooled. Not Elizabeth, though.
- I don't believe that Mozzie uses that place every Wednesday. It was a set-up. A set, just for Peter's sake. Easily assembled, easily disassembled.
- I liked Elizabeth's resignation. Something always goes wrong.
- With every episode, I am less enchanted by Mozzie. He's... well, he's not annoying, but I'm not seeing the intelligence or character cohesion that was there last year. His scene with Elizabeth was fun, though.
- Did I mention how Peter was totally hot?
- I loved the ongoing parallels between Franklin (and his relationship with his CI) and Burke (and Neal). For example:
- Neal: C’mon, Peter. If you were on the run -
Peter: I wouldn’t go on the run.
Neal: But if you did…
Peter: Yes, I’m sure it’d be your fault.
- I wish there'd been more Peter/Neal banter.
- Where's Hughes go? I liked his boss Bancroft, but we haven't seen Hughes all season. I like Hughes. Enjoyed the ending, though, where Neal got to go to the art show with Bancroft.
