Loved, loved, LOVED this episode!!! Did I say I loved this episode?

This is what imagined when they said that they were returning to the dynamics of Season 1. This is what I've been looking forward for seven months. It's the show at its best, with some tension but still fun, with the opening scene of Neal dancing to Mozart, with Peter and Neal obviously fond of each other even if on opposite sides, with all the characters getting the space they deserved.

I lifted an eyebrow at Diana suddenly being eight months pregnant, but that was my only pet peeve for the episode. (That and that they made made "my" Mozzie's real name in Conspiracies out of canon, LOL).

But this is the White Collar that I fell in love with. I don't think I've enjoyed an episode this much since Season 3, and I suspect that this one will be one of my top favorites. Mozzie finally being exposed (though not caught), Neal breaking the law and doing what needs to be done for the people he loves, Peter torn between being an agent and being a friend, Diana, so tough and so vulnerable - all the wonderful nuances of their relationships!

Loved Diana finding Mozzie and the subsequent birth, LOVED all the Neal-Mozzie moments (and Di-Neal moments), loved the scene at the hospital...

SQUEEEE!!!!!

Diana with her desperate need to prove herself - of course we know how capable she is.

Heaven being off the table... aww, boys!

When it looked like Mozzie was going to run, I almost yelled at the screen even though I couldn't believe that the show would throw away all that character building... and for once they didn't disappoint.

And the whole sequence - Neal destroying the evidence, Diana giving birth with Mozzie's encouragement and Peter going to catch Neal - with the music playing - that was so well directed, so dramatic yet fun and awesome!!!

Mozzie as the Statue of Liberty :D

And him keeping the name because of his parents... so Moz :(

Even the new handler looks like an interesting character.

Also, Jones! His moments of appearance were short but perfect.

Can we please keep this style of the show? Pretty please?

And of course it's not over - it's only begun. But unlike after last episode, I'm not dreading it - I'm looking forward to it. So many options, so many possibilities...

My love for the show is back :)
