Well, I am angry with Peter. Not "I am not hating this character" angry, but still angry. I totally get where he is coming from. He used to be this straight-laced FBI agent, and he largely defines himself over this persona and his believe in the system. But man! It is high-time someone gives him a reality check. He didn't start to colour out of the lines just because of Neal, he did it because he always had a certain "justify the means" approach in all his cases, even the ones in which Neal was just his helper. He might have believed himself above skirting the line, but in fact, he always did. This in mind I am glad that Neal FINALLY called him on it. I wish Diana had been there, because she did it one or two times in the past, too, and she might have reminded him of the little fact. Also at this point he should have learned that "the system" isn't perfect.
Neal just deserves a good hug. What he did was not right, but he did it for the right reasons, and he is still trying to protect Peter from the whole truth. And since I am still convinced that Rebecca killed Siegel, he will most likely get his heart broken (again) very soon.
