*Happy sigh* Loved, loved, loved this ep :D Are you surprised ;)

Back storyyyyyyy!

OMG Neal has daddy issues! And legit daddy issues! His dad died when he was little and was a dirty cop. And it screwed with Neal's head and self esteem. Oh, Neal *hugs him* Poor boy really is broken. And he was raised by his mom, I totally called that one! :D Unless there was a step dad in the mix. In which case, it must not have gone over well or Neal would have said something, right?

And virtual cookies to all those who called it that Neal's dad was probably in law enforcement. I loved that there was more to it. See, this is why I didn't want to touch Neal's back story, because the possibilities were endless. Though I pondered the idea of Neal's dad being a cop briefly, I totally did not see the dirty cop thing coming. This is what I love about this show - it's unpredictable :D

Neal needs to change his shirt more often :D And make fake diamonds more often ;) Yum!

Mozzie giddy over the machine. He's so adorable.

Awww, Peter helps Neal steal something legally :D I love that we're seeing them work together more. We're seeing Neal becoming more of a good guy, and Peter daring to not only think outside the box but step outside it as well.

Heeeee! Did Neal's mom wear hats. Oh, Peter :D

Hmmmm. Think I'll watch this ep again. And probably again :D

Wandered into this conversation from a friend's friends list - I like trolling for different people's episode reactions.

I think the birth parents thing was just about the fact that *Mozzie* was in the foster care system. I think the conversation with Peter brought up issues for Neal regarding his parents, and it made him think about Mozzie's parents and whether Mozzie is curious about them. Or at least that's my guess. I agree that the conversation made it seem like Neal was not being entirely forthcoming with Peter, but I think, as kriadydragon says, that is was more that there was more to the story. Hope that made some sense.

Seen anything unusual or especially interesting? (Love reading reactions, too).

That's exactly the way I interpreted it as well. Neal threw me for a minute with the birth parents comment but it wasn't until the end when he mentioned his mom telling him what he wanted to hear that I realized he'd been telling Peter the truth the whole time - his dad was a cop and died when Neal was young. He just wasn't the kind of good guy that Peter is.
