White Collar: Season 3, Episode 15 “Stealing Home” (B+)
This show is always at its most fun when there’s a caper afoot. Things got especially complicated in this hour because of Neal’s impending hearing. I’m happy that Sara continues to be incorporated into the main plotline, and I enjoyed that Peter was the one who brought her back by talking her about testifying on his behalf. Her conversation with Neal appears to have been fruitful, and I hope that means she’ll be sticking around on a more regular basis going forward. Neal did alright resisting the temptation to run a con, but Mozzie’s criminal conscience may get them both into trouble. The fact that he was already in with Taylor before they began the operation means that he’s hardly lying low, and he seemed truly thrown when Taylor asked him about the future job in Paris. The heist was clever, with Neal posing as a security guard and then tossing the ball to his accomplice, but it’s hard to beat the plan to sew a note for Peter into the stitching of the fake baseball. Peter and Neal’s conversations about the meaning and worth of baseball bats and paintings was entertaining, with valid points being made by both parties. Unfortunately, such casual chatter is going to give way to Peter having to tell Neal, or allow him to be blindsided, about his letters to Kate that Kramer and his people have been decoding. Both Diana and Peter are looking out for their friend Neal, but I’m not sure even they will be able to adequately protect him.
