My head canon most definitely came true when Moz did his thing and took over as Theo's sitter. Loved those scenes! (self promotion - Christmas Gifts)

Neal in the interrogation room with Reb/Rac, incredible on both of their parts. She was evil, like shivers up my spine evil, and he was many things, hurt, manipulative, troubled.... Loved it.

I know Peter made the attempt to rectify things a bit with Neal in this ep, but it felt kind of half-hearted. "You do bad things because I've let you, but I'm not apologizing for calling a spade a spade". I still think Peter is lacking empathy for Neal right now. I know, absolutely that he has that empathy in him. I'm still hopeful for a real clearing of the air conversation next week. Fingers crossed. Also, I don't think Peter's right in his thought process. I think Neal would have done anything, regardless of Peter's permissive attitude to get Peter out of jail. Especially after El told him to do it using whatever means were necessary. Selling his soul to Hagan, that wasn't about stealing or conning, that was about self sacrifice. That's the part that Peter's just not seeing, YET.

Neal and the lack of gloves, it stands to reason that the bad guy would never call the cops, since he would be reporting the theft of his evil, destroy the economy of the whole country program. Which is what Jones/Peter theorized in regard to bad guy 1 trying to steal it from bad guy 2 as well.

Diana was fantastic in this ep. so glad to have her back. And, Peter's face when he's holding Theo, priceless.

Personally, I loved the scene with Neal playing rent-a-boy. I feel like it harkened back to earlier Neal, when pulling cons was fun, being quick on his feet was a thrill. And, he does look great in silk. Also, I think the nicknames bunny... were meant to be hackneyed to play off on the whole trite idea of the rich guy with his mistress who shows up lace and 5 inch heels.

I agree with others on the thread in regard to the diamond. I don't think there is anything illegal about going after it. It's hidden somewhere and has been for more than 100 years. It's fair game. Mozzie even says something to that affect when he talks about using their legally acquired money to fund his new illegal empire.
