Neal (Matt Bomer) is bonding with his new handler David Seigel (Warren Kole) this week on White Collar. Well he is mostly trying to figure out how to handle his illegal business without Seigel finding out. We learn a little more about Seigel, that he comes from money but left all of it to do the right thing. He seems to be a genuinely good guy.

Curtis Hagan a.k.a. The Dutchman (Mark Sheppard) officially gets released and he still is pulling Neal’s strings. He gives Neal an almost impossible task and forces him to be creative to accomplish it.

In the meantime, Peter (Tim DeKay) promotes Clinton Jones (Sharif Atkins) to take over his old position. Neal and Mozzie (Willie Garson ) convince someone else to rob a museum as a distraction so they can actually rob it without getting caught.

Peter is having a hard time enjoying the perks of his new position, even when they include suite tickets to a Yankees game. He takes Elizabeth (Tiffani Thiessen) along with him and she tries to convince him to rip off the band-aid and let Seigel handle Neal. Elizabeth wears a mint green blouse with jeans and heels to the baseball game. I found a similar mint blouse from Spense ($17.39):

Caffrey’s break in doesn’t go quite as planned because Peter shows up unexpectedly. He improvises, but realizes that he may have left his fingerprints at the crime scene. To get Peter to leave, Neal comes down a little harsh on him. Peter leaves and heads back to meet Elizabeth with some friends. For her drink with friends Elizabeth wears an off-the-shoulder red dress. I found a similar Tadashi Shoji dress ($138):

The consequences from his actions pile up, including getting the curator from the museum fired and having Peter think it is his fault for throwing Neal off his game.

When he meets with Hagan, Seigel follows him and starts to suspect Neal of something more. Unfortunately, Seigel doesn’t get the chance to confront Neal because he is murdered out of nowhere. Peter and Neal go to investigate the crime scene and Peter says it was a mugging gone wrong, but somehow I don’t think that is true.

I can’t believe they killed of Seigel so soon. I was just starting to like him.
