I liked the episode. It didn't grab me in quite the same way that a few of the others so far have, but it was enjoyable.
Any episode that starts out with Neal getting arrested (fake or otherwise) gets at least one gold star in my book. :-) And I really enjoyed the whole sequence from when Jones hands Neal over to Peter to when Neal hands Peter the cuffs. I will readily admit to having a thing for Neal in handcuffs, but there was also the interesting conversation that ensued, and Neal sort of poking at Peter with the, "She encouraged me to be the man I really am" (the man you also told me I am?). Plus a Charlie Brown reference!
Kid!Peter the hockey player!
Adult!Peter: "A skating coach?!?!?"
El: "Let me get this straight. You need to be an expert figure skating coach. In one day."
On a purely shallow note, I must reiterate one of Elr's points: Neal in a vest! I *love* him in a 3-piece suit. Payback, anyone?
I am thinking that pulling the con on Rebecca, at least in terms of what happens when she shows up at the FBI office, is to keep her away from Peter - the less he knows/hears/thinks about Neal's previous interaction with Rebecca the better. And Neal *is* pretty much responsible for getting her fired, so I suspect he's reluctant to come clean with her.
I literally LOL'd at the Sammy Jordache line (and go, Jones!).
I like Rebecca, and I loved Neal's reaction to her story about having "done time."
I'm actually curious about what's up with the Codex and the mysterious Chapter 13.
Also, Neal in that white shirt. Neal in that white shirt and handcuffs. Neal's eyes when he's talking to Rebecca at the fake office (that blue shirt was a great wardrobe choice). Neal in the vest.
Also, also...Peter in all of the casual outfits, both at home and while he's being a skating coach. This was an aesthetically pleasing episode in that regard. :-)
