Hmm. I appear to be in the minority that I didn't love this episode. It felt like there were a bunch of elements that never quite gelled, and though I love figure skating, that whole thing felt so silly I couldn't get past it. But I've so enjoyed the others this season, maybe it just felt a bit "meh" in comparison. I did like the scene between El and Peter. That felt very real and not at all over the top.
I really, really hope that Rebecca has her own agenda and is conning Neal. Otherwise the whole thing squicks me and I cannot get on board. What I loved about Sara is that they were always equals and she always knew exactly what she was getting into with Neal, and she wasn't afraid to cuff him upside the head when she needed to. Rebecca seems very smart, but so far at least she's way too innocent. It skeeves me out that she's a mark. But you all might be right - she might be playing Neal (either for Hagan or for her own reasons).
