Even though I liked the outcome of the episode (yay for creepy stalker lady) the episode itself bored me in many parts. I really really didn't care about all the stock market hullabaloo. Did we really need to get into that much detail about the case when its main purpose was to reconnect Rebecca and Neal?
I'm sad to say the Neal/Peter relationship is dangling dangerously on the ledge. In only a few episodes they have damaged it beyond repair. Is this seriously the same Peter who, when Neal ran off to the tropics, risked life and career to protect him? What the heck did Neal do recently that was so bad that it reverted Peter to pre-anklet agent? And it's more agrevating considering he knows Neal got nothing but grief out of his last deal and did it all to save Peter's ungrateful ass.
This is how my other favorite show Supernatural has turn out in its ninth season. I lost interest in my champion OTP Destiel because how badly writers and the showrunner treated it this season. To see it happen to WC, my second favorite show, too makes me think the TV gods have something against me.
I missed Diana too, but in light of how much needs to be fixed between Neal and Peter I didn't care much for her taking up screen time. That relationship going sideways (and the fact that Neal and El too haven't talked in so long) is souring the whole show for me so that I can't even enjoy the side characters or their stories without feeling a lump in my throat.
And I know Diana is badass but I don't like her snark, or her baseless contempt for Neal. Again what has he done to deserve it really? This is the same problem I had with Sara that kept me from liking her.
I was patient with Peter and his cold shoulder to Neal up to this episode, but his refusal to give Neal the recommendation was the straw that broke the camel's back. That's why when Mozzie came to talk to Neal about building yet another empire I cheered him on and said do it and shove it in Peter's face to teach him a lesson.
Loved Rebecca's story though. Having a criminal stalker obsessed with Neal is a really fresh storyline and a nice face lift of the tired trope of a man stalking a woman. I hope this will continue onto the next season (since it looks like there will be one even though they haven't announced it.)
And for the record, I too would've found it more interesting if Neal played it as the guy's callboy. In fact at first I thought that was the angle they were going for. Still enjoyed that whole scene though.
I don't know what they are planning for the finale but if they don't fix the thing they broke (or at least give the promise of fixing it next season) I may not be back to watch. I like Mozzie and Diana and Clinton and El, but the true reason I watch the show is for Peter & Neal.
