A great episode, I love how Peter was just so excited about the treasure hunt but had to hide it.

And Mozz blaming Sachmo was classic, I've done that jokingly in the past.

However, while last week I was cheering Mozz for being the great friend that he is... I have to wonder if he's on the way to double-crossing Neal. He appeared quite hurt towards the end of last week, and now he's setting up a video feed for Neal to "watch" his art.

I see that video feed doing one of two things

- It bites them in the behind, someone finds it, hacks it, and steals it.

- Mozz has had enough, Neal is no longer a con but a mark. He puts up a fake video feed so he can start moving the art without him.

I hope #2 doesn't happen since I love the character and would hate to see him turn. But it's always a possibility: choosing the suits over Mozz+escape probably damaged Neal's rep in his eyes. Though Mozz did seem sad and/or understanding when he realized that the guy's life was in danger.

Ya know for a 'church lady' your mind can go to some pretty dark places, I hadn't considered your present hypothesis and now that I have I like it

Neal thus far has been all about finding Kate,then it was the music box,then Adler. So I don't feel like we have gotten to see who Neal is when he isn't being pressured by outside forces however Mozz has always been unapologetically a crook, I feel like eventually Mozzie has to question Neal's heart because thinking back to the episode "Forging Bonds" Neal and Mozzie haven't known each other all that long

I just don't see Mozzie as a villain, besides he could have already gotten away with the treasure by simply not telling Neal and if Neal ever suspected him he could have blamed Alex. But I do see that video feed as a problem.

Great episode. The case was quite interesting and the way I see it Peter is becoming more like Neal instead of Neal becoming more than Peter like in the previous season.

Loved this episode. It felt like watching National Treasure. I couldn't stop laughing with the Satchmo scenes, poor dog!

I hope that Peter is one step ahead Neal's this time. I understand Neal's greed and nature but I also think of his loyalty to Peter and how he could betray him would be terrible. Great cast! But I think I've said that too many times

By the way, Mozzie's "Hoo-ah" and Sara Ellis' absence were great.

Yes, I don't like her character.

If they would just finish of the with Neal/Mozzi secret treasure stash plot, I'd be a happy camper. Other than references to this, the eppie was pretty good. Sara's absence was fine with me (she really doesn't add much to the show anyway).

Interesting that they changed to a new title sequence.
