White Collar Season 3 “On the Fence”
Neal’s arch nemesis returns for vengeance and to claim the treasure for himself is too long to be the title of the episode, but ultimately what the episode is all about. Keller, who has been a thorn in both Neal and Peter’s side, has returned from hiding. And during his absence Keller has been hard at work pillaging Egypt. This works into the case of the week, since Neal is sent undercover to find Egyptian artifacts that are being smuggled in to the county and to ketch the Egyptologist who is in on the smuggling. The said Egyptologist played by Eliza Dushku (known for her many roles on Joss Whedon shows does an excellent job playing a sexy smart slightly deadly thief in the underworld that Neal is accustom to.
In a twist, Mozzie puts a hit out on Keller. The main that Mozzie goes to put the hit out is a shadowy figure that doubles as a priest. Mozzie is taking the fight to the streets without Neal’s knowledge, a possible rift in their friendship? Interesting. Especially since the painting that Mozzie sold is on the list that Neal lied about getting from the previous week. The summer season is wrapping up, and with only one episode left, Neal seems out of options in regards to the treasure.
Other observations: this week there was a lot of gunfire at the end of the episode. White Collar normally tends to shy away from violence, but not in this episode. Those swat guys were very trigger happy. Also, the almost whimsical attempts to shove Elizabeth Burke (Peter’s wife) into each episode it getting out of hand. That phone call in the middle of the episode, really? But it was funny to see her face when Peter told her she was on speaker phone, since she was talking about ways Peter could make up being late to her. *wink*
