Plausible deniability? Words to live by.

Dear White Collar,

It's me, remember? I wrote about you last week.

I wasn't ready for the finale to your seven episode fall 'season' to come so soon, but it was a hoot. ;o9 I can tell that you like your adventures far-fetched and sly, same as me, and tonight's episode delivered on both slyness and... far-fetchedry.

At least there's some fun in figuring out what the perfectly innocent explanation is! There MUST be one and that's all there is to it. My theory: Kate's been conning Neal all along and Peter knows it and is after her

I am excited by the idea that Peter has secrets he's successfully kept from Neal and from us, the audience. As the show goes on, I think it will make things consistently more exciting if we know that Peter and Neal are both more than capable of playing the other. (And by 'playing,' I have in mind stuff like the stunt Neal pulls in 'The Portrait,' not necessarily selling each other out, LOL). Up 'till now we've taken Peter for granted. I am *very* curious to find out what secrets he's been keeping.

But I really can't believe that Peter has betrayed Neal or his own principles in any meaningful way, and I've been surprised by the fervor that's sprung up over the possibility that Peter's dirty or something. I mean... whuh? Peter's, like, 35% of the show. If he turns out to be a villain, then 1) Neal doesn't have anyone to tease constantly while they track Peter down and put him in jail, and 2) probably Neal's whole arrangement falls apart if Peter so much as loses face in front of the FBI, so then there are no more con-man adventures at

Ditto.

Hee hee hee. I was surprised at how concerned Lewis seemed, but then he had entertained some possibilities I didn't at the first.
