I have not be engaged in White Collar at all since the return. It hasn't really been holding my interest, but I've been watching anyway. Just not with any rewatches or desire to talk about it outside of a few live-tweet comments. I WAS excited for this episode because of the return of Sara. And that, my friend, did not disappoint.
As silly as I found the actual plot of the episode (another kidnapping plot, the kidnappers being way too open, as you'd think they would be MORE on edge and paranoid since they're so obviously bad at what they're doing), it had everything I love in the character moments. Neal and Sara and where they are in their friends-with-benefitsness. Their scenes together were just perfect. They were cute, I squee'd, and I was happy.
And, OMG, Sara whipping out her baton when she had a gun in her face. Smart? Not really. Badass? YES. I love the baton. And she got it out TWICE.
Unsurprisingly, I loved all the Peter/El stuff, too. It was a great episode for them. I like how you saw the characters sort of acknowledge that it's ridiculous how often they get kidnapped. I loved Peter's "I hate this conversation", I think when they were talking about how he was boring. I also loved his slightly offended face when the age difference between him and El was pointed out. But his speech about love at the end made me fall in love with him all over again.
El was awesome when she got the gun away from Penny. The women had all the badass moments in this episode.
I thought it was interesting that no one knew Peter and El had been taken until the episode was well past half over. I think that created some tension for me, that NO ONE KNEW they were missing.
I don't even want to think about London. Okay, I do. A part of me is all "Ooh! Putting them in different countries would be great for fanfic and I want Sara to get this huge promotion because I actually care about the career of a fictional character!" and the other part of me is "Noooooo! SHIPPY FEELS!". It's pretty incoherent.

I got rambly. It's late and I have feelings.
