This week’s White Collar was focused on Elizabeth (Tiffani Thiessen) and what better way to kick it off then a hot steamy scene with her and Peter (Tim DeKay). The only problem is that Peter is getting sick.
This week, Elizabeth is reunited with a wealthy Manhattan family that she used to tutor for in her younger days. Their son, Patrick, mysteriously disappeared and suddenly returned to the family. After seeing the son, Elizabeth is concerned that he is an imposter trying to inherit the family’s fortune and Neal (Matt Bomer) goes undercover as a butler to try and expose him.
Elizabeth wears a two-tone black and white dress, white blazer and an orange belt and matching slingback heels. To recreate this look, I found a Jax Two-Tone Ruched Jersey Dress ($148), Eliza J Ruched Sleeve Blazer ($78), orange belt ($8.99) and orange slingback pumps from Nordstrom for $59.98: Elizabeth recommends Neal for the butler job and stays close to the family by helping them with their art collection. She wears a black skirt suit, black silk blouse, nude heels and looks like she is carrying a black Birkin bag. I found a black skirt suit from The Limited (Skirt $35.97, Blazer $70.80), Silk Charmeuse Shirt ($99), Nine West Drusilla pumps ($58.99), Jane Bag ($159): Neal is busy trying to get a DNA sample from Patrick, but it is proving to be harder than he thought. Patrick is doing a good job of not leaving a clue about his identity. He does have a lot of information about his past with Elizabeth, which is puzzling. Either he is the real deal or he is getting information from someone.
In the meantime, Mozzie (Willie Garson) is living with Neal and has been trying his patience by trying to keep bees on the balcony. It ends up working out for Peter when Mozzie uses the honey to come up with a concoction to cure Peter’s flu symptoms.
The team finally figures out that Patrick is after the trust fund and Elizabeth decides she needs to confront him and force a DNA test. Patrick takes the test to prove them wrong. Elizabeth wears a beautiful periwinkle dress. I found a similar periwinkle dress at Modcloth ($199.99):
Unfortunately, the blood test was a match for the real Patrick. Because of this, Elizabeth gets fired as their art buyer. The family doesn’t want anyone around that questions Patrick. This leaves Neal on his own to figure out what is going on. He follows Patrick to take the dog to the vet, but discovers that Patrick has a device implanted that can use someone else’s blood. But this means that he must have the real Patrick alive somewhere.
In the end, Neal and Peter find the real Patrick and bring him home to the family. Elizabeth wears a mixed media tweed dress. I found a similar colorblock tweed sheath dress from Ann Taylor ($139):
I always love to see more Elizabeth on White Collar so this is one of my favorite episodes so far this season. I also loved seeing Neal as a butler, he really is a great con man.
