I loved this one. Diana was magnificent, Rachel's psychotic creeptasticness was off the chain, and Neal's revulsion in response to her was visceral. That character is tremendously frightening, and IMO hands down the best villain this show has ever produced.

The talk between Peter and Neal about the example Peter set with his actions didn't really fly for me. It was fine and all, because I feel like Peter is being set up as more sanctimonious than usual to take a long, hard fall, but it didn't do anything to heal the wound for me, because there was no apology. Peter screwed the pooch too hard this time for me to settle for one of his avoidy, half-assed "I see why you think it was okay to screw up the way you did" moments and a drifting back together of the two of them once they've been distracted from their falling out. The show will either truly address it and fix it, or they won't. and I'll see where that leaves me as a viewer. But one thing I'm happy to see is that Neal isn't backing down, and he isn't buckling to Peter's attempts at friendliness without acting like a friend.

I love that he's going to fight to have his sentence dropped, regardless of what Peter says. Neal's biggest obstacle has always been that he lets Peter act as a mirror to his own potential, and I think Peter's tumbled off the pedestal this season. Neal's doing what he believes in and not letting himself be held back. I think that's awesome.

This one was funny as hell, too. And that baby is absolutely gorgeous. what a doll.
