Peter (Tim DeKay) and Jones (Sharif Atkins) are trying to figure out what Neal  (Matt Bomer) is up to. Jones gives him the benefit of the doubt, but Peter knows he is missing something.

The whole team is trying to figure out what the card in Siegel’s wallet meant, but nobody is having any luck. In the midst of that investigation, Neal and Peter get pulled into a case about a dinosaur egg. They return the missing egg to the lab it was intended for, but the lab worker informs them that there was supposed to be a skeleton of the mother that accompanied it. Now the team is on the case for a missing Tyrannosaurus Rex skeleton.

In the meantime, Neal, Mozzie (Willie Garson) and Rebecca (Bridget Regan) are digging deeper into the Mosconi Codex mystery. Mozzie is skeptical of Neal’s relationship with Rebecca – he goes as far as to vet her just in case Neal needs the information.

Peter and team find a lead in their dinosaur case, a Mr. Forsythe (Zjeklo Ivanek), a ruthless businessman with a penchant for collecting dinosaur fossils. Neal sneaks into Forsythe’s office to try to get Peter enough information for a warrant. Unfortunately, the stolen goods that Neal finds in his office have reached the statute of limitations so Peter can’t prosecute for it.

Jones does find out that Neal has been spending time with Rebecca from their previous case at the Gershon museum. This intrigues Peter and he decides to crash Neal’s date with Rebecca. He gets Elle (Tiffani Thiessen) to come with him to crash the date at a place she’s always wanted to go to. Elle wears a floral tank top with a white cardigan. This Obey Hanky Panky Camisole Tank Top ($14.99) along with this Kim Rogers Cardigan ($24.99) are similar:

Peter and Elizabeth crash Neal’s date and makes it really awkward for Neal. Neal covers with Peter by saying that he didn’t know how to tell Rebecca that he was a felon. Elizabeth wears a teal dress with a python clutch. This Tart Patrice Dress ($83.99) and Python clutch ($38.99) would be a great recreation of this look:

Before anything can get more awkward, Peter and Neal get called away on the dinosaur case as someone is trying to still the dinosaur egg from the museum lab. They capture the thief and find out that Forsythe commissioned him to steal the egg. This doesn’t help them because they still don’t know where the skeleton is. They decide to have Neal and Mozzie forge the egg and try to sell it to Forsythe and catch him in the act. The plan works and they safely return the the skeleton to the museum.

Peter and Elizabeth invite Neal over for dinner to convince him to tell Rebecca the truth about who he is. Elizabeth wears a teal blouse which is similar to the blouse she wore in Ice Breaker. The Spense Trimmed Woven Collar Top ($14.49) from my previous recreation works for this one too:

Afterwards, Neal enjoys some wine with June on his balcony and admits he stole one of the pieces from Forsythe’s collection because it was there. Rebecca comes over and he finally tells her who he really is. She doesn’t seem to have a problem with that and they sleep together.

The next day Curtis Hagen confronts Neal that he knows Neal was going to steal the Mosconi glass window and that Neal is going to steal it for him instead.

This week on White Collar, Peter (Tim DeKay) celebrates the anniversary of meeting Elizabeth (Tiffani Thiessen) at the same restaurant where they had their first date. The date gets interrupted when his ex, and former classmate at Quantico, Jill Stone (Kim Dickens), shows up. Turns out she hunted Peter down so he could help her out with a case. Elle wears a green scoopneck dress. I found a similar Alex Marie Cole Pleated-Neckline Dress for $129:

In the meantime, Neal (Matt Bomer) gets a little too close to Rebecca (Bridget Regan) as they work to solve the mystery of the Moscone Codex.

Jill visits Peter at the office and fills him in on her current case. She is going undercover for a software deal and needs a partner that is familiar with the New York landscape. He heads home to tell Elizabeth that he will be working with Jill undercover, but she busts in before he gets the chance to, making Elizabeth uncomfortable. Elle wears the Joie Anka V-Neck Blouse ($224.09). I found a similar Lush blouse for $29.99:

Peter gets a lead on Seigel’s missing badge and sends Neal and Jones (Sharif Atkins) out to investigate. The end up getting carjacked by someone using Seigel’s badge, which is their first lead on his murder!

Elle stops by to drop off lunch for Peter, but she sees him getting cozy with Jill and gets jealous and leaves. Mozzie (Willie Garson) convinces Elle to follow Peter and Jill to see what is going on. Elle wears a grey shift dress. I found a similar Jones New York tailored dress for $129:

She convinces Neal to tag along as she investigates Jill and they see them enter a hotel together. Elle follows them inside and Neal convinces her to wait at the bar while he tries to pull a room number. Things get interesting as she runs into Peter and Jill’s mark. She tries to stall him and he ends up hiding his software chip in her cell phone before he runs off.

Jill and Peter get captured by mercenaries before they can make the exchange. Neal and Elle bust into the room and save the day. Elle is cool as a cucumber and I love it!

All’s well that ends well, with Peter finding another lead in Siegel’s case and Neal and Rebecca making a breakthrough with the Moscone Codex. Neal is getting a little too comfortable with Rebecca and I think this will lead to trouble for him.

What did you think about this week’s episode? Do you think Neal’s deal with the Dutchman had anything to do with Siegel’s death? Will Rebecca expose Neal to Peter?
