Yeah... not actually my favorite episode. Whenever WC does the touchy-feelly stuff it just doesn't feel right with the tone of the show. This is a show about the give and take of cops and cons told with a pretty veneer over a dishonest and twisty underbelly. It's not that I don't like the more emotional stuff, I LOVE the more emotional stuff, especially the bonding and moral quandaries but the super-fluff never sits well with me.
(Or maybe it's the week and a half long Supernatural marathon that's skewed my vision so that everything is supposed to be gritty and dark and emotionally wrenching.)
Though not to say there weren't highlights:
The second someone said "wire con" I threw up my hands and yelled: "The Sting!" And I was totally right.
Peter in a tux. Because... c'mon.
Peter and Neal's fake (REAL) fight. When Neal said: "And the next time your hot wife gets lonely-" I actually "OHHHHHHHHH"ed. Loudly.
Mozzie and El's talk in his hotel room.
How Mozzie escaped. (I'm going to have to remember that one.)
When Mozzie told Neal to enjoy his and Peter's relationship while it lasts.
The last scene when Neal says: "It's hard to say goodbye." (I'm pretty sure that's the quote. Or at least something to that affect.)
And of course the banana knife!
(Getting responses to comments is always nice but I'm sure you have shit to do so if I don't get a response I'll only need months talk therapy and happy pills instead of a suicide watch.)
