Well, I really liked Rebecca in the previous episodes, but after this one, I don't so much anymore. At this stage, there are two main options - one, she is working for Hagen (or on her own but still for "dark side"), in which case Neal is going to end up heartbroken. On the small chance that she is genuine... then that makes me uncomfortable on a whole new level, because it feels like it's Kate all over again, only worse. Kate never seemed naive, Rebecca on the other hand (if she's not a con herself) is quite gullible and putting herself in danger without really thinking things through.
Neal tells her he's a con man - next thing, she jumps all over him? He tells her Hagan is dangerous and she doesn't ask for more? I just... if Rebecca is genuine, then I don't really like the way that the writers are handling it. And I want someone like her for Neal - someone that would be for him who June was for Byron. But that woman needs to be really smart, has her eyes open and not just be excited about Neal's criminal escapades - I don't want her to necessarily commit crimes with him, but she needs to have his back when it counts. And from Rebecca's presence on the show so far, I have yet to see a moment when she really did that for Neal.
(Of course, I'm still 95% sure that she is conning Neal. But if she's not, then she either needs to grow up fast or get out before she gets hurt - for both her and neal's sake.)
