    It was freaking amazing! I loved the episode and I can't wait for the rest of the season!

    Elizabeth was awesome! A+ for her attempts to get out. And I literally went "OOH" out loud when Neal got hit with the painting.

    And holy crap, the end! Wasn't expecting that.

    Loved it.  During the episode I was concerned about the end of this story arc and where it would go from here, so I'm guessing the rest of the season will be about Niel becoming a free man, can't wait to see where it will go from here!

    I really enjoyed this episode.  It was intense and had lots of action.  I was a bit let down by the easy ending but I have to say I never saw Neal being rewarded for his con coming.  All in all, an A episode.  My favorite was Elizabeth showing no one messes with either of the Burkes.  She's one smart woman.

    It was a easy ending I agree but it was well thought and clever don't you think?  Keller paid his debt with the Russians and got all the credit, and we know that he loves to compete with Neal.

    Loved it. Everything was out in the open and Peter knows what Neal was prepared to giver up, and combined with the ending will makes the rest of the season pretty interesting. Of course it definitely seems that we'll be seeing Keller before too long.

    Good episode and I liked that Mozzie came back to help "Mrs. Suit".  It was a bit slower and not as action packed as I hoped/expected from it but it was still good.  The ending was easy to predict though, especially if you read any of the teases about how it would change Peter and Neal's relationship in a big way.

    So nice to have White Collar back. It was really a great episode! So happy for Neal, hope he can finally be free!

    Awesome is not a high enough rating for this episode. Seriously, there should be something above awesome (sweet merciful awesome? Wait, wrong fandom!) for this kind of episode! This deals with the treasure so neatly, while simultaneously at least semi-healing Neal and Peter's relationship, AND setting up a whole new story arc: Neal could be free in 3 months? Eh...what??? I'm so excited about what this twist means for the show, and I don't know how the writers do it. Every time I think they've exhausted the possibilities, they throw something new into the mix. Is it next Tuesday yet?

     I have to agree,it was a good episode but i wish there was more,it always ends in such a predictable manner that it sort of ruins it for me.What was a nice surprise was when Neal told Peter why he didn't want to leave New York, actually i'm glad Neal was finally able to admit it to himself....Even with predictable endings i still look forward to next weeks episode...

    Great episode.

    some thoughts about the characters:

    Elisabeth is such a resourceful, smart and generally  awesome person. I wish I could be her (not to mention I would have a handsome and devoted husband) :-D

    Mozie choice was predictable, as much as we love him, he is after all the "sidekick" character.
    I'm a little tired with keller though. He's becoming the recurrent villain cliché. I hoped Peter would kill him.

    The episode show how much Neal and Peter have evolved.
    Neal of course, who  acknowledge that he has now a home and a family of sort. He also, and that's quite new, take responsibility for his actions.
    But also Peter who, at the beginning, was a very "by the book" character and here, doesn't even bat an eyelash at the idea of stealing a treasure behind the back of the fbi.

    While I understand the need to make the characters evolve, I hope Neal will still be a little conflicted and sometimes tempted by the dark side.

    I also think that Peter is a little too easy to forgive and trust Neal. I thought he should be more cautious and wary after having found that Neal had lied for months.

    About the final twist. (Neal could be free soon)
    I must say I didn't see that coming. I don't know what to think of it.  
    I like the anklet. I like Neal on a leash firmly handed by Peter ;-)

    Being rewarded for a con is a bad signal given to Neal.
    I'm with you about the easy ending.
    And, as I wrote in another comment, I also find Peter forgiveness and trust a little too easy.

    I think 'sweet merciful awesome' should be adapted by all fandoms :P

    Just fantastic.  Loved every scene, and it was so good to see the guys back on the same page by the end of the episode!

    It was amazing!!!!!!!! wow, it was very intense!! I love all Neal-Peter moments, Elizabeth is a bamf! and Mozzie finally accepted that he likes their friends! :D and Keller is really creepy sometimes!! XD
    also, I almost cried when they were fighting with the art... :'( but watching Neal with a shield... OMG that was perfect!!! *^* and the end of the ep... omg such a perfect episode!!!!!

    really good episode; peter was really good and i loved the emotionnal moments about elizabeth. It was really nice to see Neal really worried about her and sai to Peter he's staying here cause of him, elizabeth and sarah.


    But i was expecting more elizabeth moments; some extracts about the kidnapping scene and may be the bad guys more bad.... they were really like "ok you are our hostage but not in danger you just can escape from here"

    she was really clever and strong but i wished  some more emotion in her eyes about the situation

    I don't know, Peter didn't look too happy with Neal in next week's promo.

    As much as I love the episode (and I mean I reeeeeeally loved it) I really have to get this off my chest: I love to hate Keller as much as the next person but seriously the guy needs to get his due. BAD and FAST!

    An above average episode.
     - The tension and conflict was pitch perfect between Neal and Peter.
     - I really wish Neal shot Keller in the head and not the leg.
     - I didn't like Mozzie's complete 180 in regards to his stance on staying in NYC.  He was 100% against it just one episode prior and now he's sticking around and admitting feelings.  Mozzie is way more stubborn and insulated than that.  I didn't buy it at all.  I get it was necessary for the show but it was a cop out as far as I'm concerned.
     - I'm very interested to see how Neal's working relationship with Jones and Diana will change because of what happened.
     - I get that Elizabeth is a strong, confident woman but I think she was a little too composed for the situation she found herself in.
     - I'm surprised that neither Peter's boss nor his mentor were in this episode.
     - I did like how the show got Keller to take credit for the treasure theft to get the Russians on his side.  That was creative.
