I have a feeling that that contract is going to disappear right when Neal needs it.
Oh god, the Burkes losing a baby would hurt so much. For them and us.
Keller is going to ruin this thing for Neal, mark my words.
I don't know why this episode left me uneasy. Usually, White Collar episodes leave me happy for quite a while, but this one just... nope. Didn't last past the credits. Maybe it's Neal's wonky character, like you said (which may not be quite so out of character. See Neal's words about people like Keller getting so desperate that they don't notice the ground shifting beneath them. Both ominous and possibly already true. Neal's never had so much at stake for the sake of his freedom. Earlier, it was a commutation hearing, a request passed up through official channels. Now, it's quite literally in his hands. And I don't think he trusts himself with it. And his freedom being in his grasp has to have had an effect on him.)
...parenthetical remark got out of hand. Maybe I should turn that into a fic.
So, like I was saying. Maybe it's Neal's character. Maybe it's the relative absence of Diana (I don't recall seeing her much, correct me if I'm wrong.) Maybe it's just me and my wonky moods as of late. But this episode doesn't feel right.
