History Fridge / WhiteCollar

*** The end of season 4 provides some FridgeHorror; when Neal confronts his father about [[spoiler: the fact he really did kill his supervising officer]] he has the tone and volume of a man who has already ''come to terms'' with it. And when he finds out that [[spoiler: James killed Pratt in self-defense]] this is his response.
--> '''Neal:''' ''[casually]'' What'd you do, Dad? ''[voice grows stern]'' They arrested Peter for [[spoiler: Pratt's murder]], what did you do.

* FridgeLogic: [=S4E05=], Honor Among Thieves. The villain of the week tries to blackmail Neal...This falls apart when you remember that his anklet is accurate TO THE YARD, and he at no point entered the Marshall's building. DNA or no, one look at his tracking data would prove his innocence.
* FridgeBrilliance: When Diana, played by British actress Marsha Thomason, speaks, sometimes she gets a case of OohMeAccentsSlipping, which makes sense when we learn that her father was a diplomat and she probably spent part of her childhood in England with dear old dad.

** He jumped off a building in ''NewYorkCity''. You know, the place where [[Franchise/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy aliens are advised to just "land anywhere".]]

*** June/Kate: The girl who fell in with a criminal and his best friend, and became almost as skilled at pulling heists as they were.

** Being able to recall long-term memory perfectly still requires the short-term memory to be recorded to long-term memory, a process that often fails during extreme shock.
* Although Neal makes it pretty clear in the third season that he wants to stay with the FBI even after he's released, there's a line in ''Hard Sell'' that made me realize he was thinking about that even in the first season. When Peter shows him the ring, he explains that everyone who's been with the FBI for ten years gets one. Neal's first question is, "Will I get one?" His prison sentence is only ''four'' years. So even as far back as the show's ''eighth episode,'' he had already decided to stay (or was at least considering it) after his four year sentence ended.

** Also, when Neal reveals that his father was a police officer, his aversion to and proficiency at using guns makes much more sense.

** In "Burke's Seven", Mozzie says that he can't identify his shooter because he doesn't remember what happened. It makes it worse when you remember that Mozzie has perfect recall.
