Recap / White Collar S02E01 "Withdrawal"

Go To

Peter gets Neal back out of prison, but it's only been two months since Kate was murdered and Neal isn't dealing with it very well. Meanwhile, New York's banks are at risk of robbery by a mysterious figure calling himself The Architect.


Tropes:

  • Blasting It Out of Their Hands: Peter shoots a walkie talkie out of a robber's hand from fifty feet away.
  • Calling Card: The Architect likes to leave one. The "A" is in a unique font.
  • Distracting Fake Fight: When Renee holds Neal and Peter hostage, they pretend to start arguing so that they can get the security powder into her face and disarm her.
  • Improbable Aiming Skills: Peter blasts a walkie talkie out of a robber's hand from fifty feet.
  • Obviously Not Fine: Whenever Peter asks Neal if he is holding up following Kate’s death, Neal assures him that he is. Peter doesn’t buy it.
  • Oh, Crap!: Neal and Peter are both surprised to turn and see the bank manager, Renee, has a gun.
  • The Reveal: Someone stole the music box from FBI custody... and Diana has it!
  • Shout-Out: Neal congratulates Peter on his aim with "Nice shooting, Butch." "Thanks, Sundance.".
  • Swiss-Cheese Security: The FBI has Neal steal cash from a Midtown Mutual bank to show them how lacking their security is.
