aragarnaHum, so after that awesome handball match, let's get back to some White Collar, and shake some more squeeeee! :-)
Diana is BACK! And in full badass mode! :-)
We've all missed her this season, and it was great to see her back. Plus it didn't feel too forced. It does seem legitimate that they need a girl to go undercover as "Rachel" and it is true that she's the only badass who would be able to do it (boys and girls together)
Badass mom, Diana is one of a kind as a character.
Heee Peter and little Theo! Exactly what everyone expected of Peter LOL And Tim is so good at those goofy faces.
On the other hand, Uncle Mozzie was just plain adorable! Who would have thought? Think he took care of the little ones at Mr Jeffries?
Still, it's comforting that Diana is no-nonsense enough not to let Mozzie put too much crazy theories into that baby's brain at such a young age!
Rebecca (or should we call her Rachel?)! God Bridget Regan, I didn't know her, but she's awesome. She's a strange mix of charming and cold. The interrogation scenes, with Peter, then Neal, were chilling. Her obsession with Neal makes her unpredictably dangerous.
Loved the perfect teamwork from everyone. Peter and Neal packing evidence, Jones backing Diana...
Also nice to see the tension gone and it's always nice to see Peter in protective mode, worried that Diana was put in danger because of Rebecca's text, worried about Rebecca getting to Neal.
Oh so Neal suddenly wants his sentence to be dropped? I have mixed feelings about this. I understand how he feels, and that's right he does deserve consideration for his work. But the timing is all wrong. It's like the first commutation announcement arriving right after the treasure fiasco. There are so many times Pete would have backed up Neal without a second thought, and each time he's asked to do so the one time he's conflicted.
Interesting enough, the show is pondering the serious question in the voice of Diana, which gives Peter a lot to think about....
Ah yes, Peter, the kids are growing so fast, they're taking their independence...
Oh and Peter asking Neal if he can go straight! (Seriously, I wanted to write that into a fic 2 weeks ago!). So of course, the question is opened to loopholes, but the answer wasn't. Neal thinks he can go straight, which, given the entire season, given Peter, the shrink, Rebecca, Neal himself, is a very important assertion. And I do think that's all Peter needs to keep faith in Neal.
Directed by Tim DeKay! This episode didn't have the iconic locations the previous episodes Tim directed had. Actually it was for the most shot on set. Still, Tim managed to have some fun behind the camera. I particularly loved the "evidence tagging" montage, and the Burkes packing scene, shot in a single shot (actually 2, there's a cut at the end).
Oh and yes, there's that gratuitous fan service of Neal unzipping his trousers. Not sure if it's atually the director's or the writer's idea, but knowing Tim's sense of humor, that could totally be his. ;-)
Oh and favorite lines of the episode:
"I know you think you're smarter than me, that's why I always catch you". ;-)
"Kid, you're kidding me!"
