After a nail biting return for it’s great for White Collar to take a step back and focus on the relationships and humour that made us fall in love with the show.
This episode focuses on the Peter/Neal relationship after the cliff-hanger from the previous episode. Will Peter tell the truth at the hearing and put Neal in the hot seat or choose to forget and say Keller was the treasure stealer. Luckily they don’t drag this out and you find out the answer by the end of the episode.
However that storyline doesn’t take centre stage and is a small part of a brilliant episode, an episode that I’m happily able to say is one of my all-time favourites. We get to see how both Peter and Neal are feeling about the current situation without it taking away from the case they are working on. I would love to say more but any sort of plot points could spoil an episode that is definitely one of its best.
However even though I cannot spoil you, I can give you a few teasers about the episode.
