Peter and Neal work together to figure out what Senator Pratt's motives are and why he had an involvement with corrupt cops, but their investigation leads them to several unanswered questions and more danger than they anticipatedDownload Video White Collar Brass Tacks Episode On ABC Family Tv Online Tv Live Streaming Video. Online Watch White Collar Full Episode Watch Stream HD Video on Internet TV.White Collar is about the unlikely partnership of a con artist and an FBI agent who have been playing cat and mouse for years. Neal Caffrey (Matt Bomer), a charming criminal mastermind, is finally caught by his nemesis, FBI Agent Peter Burke (Tim DeKay). When Neal escapes from a maximum-security prison to find his long-lost love, Peter nabs him once again.
Rather than returning to jail, Neal suggests an alternate plan: He'll provide his criminal expertise to assist the Feds in catching other elusive criminals in exchange for his eventual freedom. Initially wary, Peter quickly finds that Neal provides insight and intuition that can't be found on the right side of the law.
Now I want to be clear from the upfront, I have applauded the show’s evolution this season as it has stopped relying on the Neal runs, Peter chases theme. While it played out well for the first three seasons, the trope had become somewhat tired.
Tonight, however, when Peter was sitting at home with Elle and speculating about Neal’s ultimate motives, I could not help but smile. At his core, Neal is always going to be somebody that lives in a very grey area, even when he is doing the right thing.
When the showed signaled that Neal was going to reform his actions and follow the straight and narrow, however, I was worried that the writers would take the change too far. In other words, no matter what kind of life-altering decisions Neal goes through, he will be and should be a person that always skirts the line.
Of course this does not mean I want him to start lying to Peter all over again, because as I said, that idea has played itself out. Still, I thought tonight’s ambiguous ending was pitch perfect. Part of me really believed Neal’s sincerity in his conversation with Peter at the end in Peter’s office.
So much of what he said rang true and from his heart. On the other hand, I could totally see him conceiving and pulling off this long con to get the flash drive without dirtying his hands. Both actions just felt very true to his character, and highlighted Neal’s conflicting nature.
If I had to make a decision on whether or not Neal planned everything out, I would probably fall on the side that he did not. The big sticking point for me is why would he not have mentioned this to Mozzie if this were how he planned everything to turn out?
Especially when you consider there were so many opportunities for him to hatch this plan out with Mozzie, I just do not see Neal not mentioning it if this is what he intended.
Sure, he could have called an audible at the last minute at the exchange, but that just seems unlikely to me. Either way, I am sure we will never know a definitive answer, which is what I really love.
Don't get me wrong. I think this is a fantastic show. They have great individuals playing all the different roles. Neal is great! He has a great personality and just the right amount of attitude.
The FBI people are well played. They like working with Neal, but you can see that they don't want to let it show, simply because they are the FBI. This show is probably a bit more real amount how some of these relationships can become murky. Regardless, my original point: The show itself is a remake of a classic 1960's show called "It Takes a Thief" starring Robert Wagner. Still a favorite actor of mine.
