I hate this show, really. The only reason I watched it was because of Tiffani Amber Thiessen or however you spell it. I just think it's a copy of other shows, like Burn Notice and (sometimes) NCIS, only because the main guy reminds me of Tony too much.

But, I've said that about many shows. I started out HATING NCIS, but look how I've changed! Same with Glee and Royal Pains. Maybe I'll change my mind if someone could sell it to me?

It was an odd choice, but I'm sure everyone is making too much of a big deal about it. Besides that one scene the show is off to an awesome start. I'm eagerly awaiting the nest half of the season.

And correct me if I'm wrong, but in the photo, it was a left hand. The hand they show of Burke with the ring was the right hand.

I agree the scene is misleading. The ring the guy is wearing (and I have doubts it is truly Pete) is definitely NOT the one in the photo from the ATM. The only ring Peter wears is his wedding band. Something's going on, and I think Kate will turn out to be on the wrong side.

The "shocker" wasn't a shock to those who didn't see the 10pm showing - the 1am showing was playing ads for the next episode(s) in January that showed the ending of this episode only a few minutes in. If USA wants to stop that practice, since it wasn't the 1st time or the 1st show to do that, it would make me alot happier.

I personally think that Burke is a good guy. Yes he has the same ring as the picture but.... I never really trusted Kate. I think she is the one trying to get something Neil stole. I don't think there is a mystery guy trying to get something from Neil.

I think Kate is setting Neil up. I think Burke caught her at the airport while he was tracking down Neil after his escape and the security camera took the picture. Remember Neil was back in custody for a few days before the FBI agreed to the deal.

I think Burke was going to maybe use Kate as bait to capture Neil but caught him quickly because Neil was upset that Kate left him and was sitting in the apartment on the floor.

I think he decided to keep tabs on Kate just in case Neil is tempted to slip back to his old ways.

Neil is starting to trust Burke with some of the info about Kate and Burke realizes that she is setting up Neil and decides to have a talk with her. That is why he is in the apartment when she gets back.

As far as the ring itself goes... It is kind of ugly. The kind of ring your wife gives you and you hate but wear it occasionally to make her happy.

Kate's deep cover FBI. The Mentor program is the ring that Peter was wearing.

The network is going stick it's foot in again and ruin another good show.

My thoughts:
Interpol suggested that the FBI were involved in holding or keeping Kate hidden. But she apparently is free to move around (NYC?) w/o any guards, or supervision, hence her entering the apartment and being surprised to see Peter there.
Perhaps she has been put into a witness protection scheme or sorts? But why then leave her in NYC?
If it is a WPS then Peter may NOT be a "bad guy" after all. But at the minimum he is not being honest with Neal.

Also in the lest ep don't you feel he let go a trump hand in releasing the guy who has the goods on the "bad FBI agent" (I forget his name). I thought the offer of immunity was to easily dismissed and releasing the man back to the "bad guy" was done all to easy as well. SO are both thes FBI agents playing Neal Good and bad cop. Perhaps just to see how Neal reacts.....

Well at least this series has a few fresh ideas.

.... And Twins.


Or alternate universe evil twin ... but he doesn't have a goatee.
