This is such a perfect scene. It tells a story all by its own. Peter looks like a father who's just found his long lost son (or a man who found his lover,but that's just between us.) He is overwhelmed by the joy of it all and doesn't think any further. Neal however is obviously thinking seven moves ahead. In the first cut to his face after peter slam-hugs him we see the smile and the slight closing of his eyes, which indicates his happiness/relief. But then he must remember that this reunion doesn't change anything. That he can't go back and Peter can't stay. He's reminded of how this all is fleeting and so so temporary and his face shows his sadness. Also the hand he lifts to pat Peter's back seems like acquiescence to his fate.
This is the first time I believe a season to be the best one of the show and it hasn't even started.
