** From that same episode: Elizabeth tells Mozzie about the two times she got arrested. The first time was for having a fake ID. The second time was because she streaked across campus after losing a bet in college. Mozzie's half-astonished, half-impressed, "Mrs. ''Suit!''" just makes the whole scene.

** For pretty much the entire first half of the episode, Neal is extremely excited that one of his old crimes is being copycatted. He keeps a newspaper clipping of the story about the recent heist, and just generally treats being copycatted like it's some kind of badge of honor. Neal's boyish gleefulness, along with Peter's exasperation, is absolutely hilarious to watch.

* Also in ''Countermeasures,'' Peter flat out denies Neal's idea of bringing his wife in as part of a "covert interrogation" and he tells Neal to "Find another way." Not two seconds later, El's phone rings. What follows is quite possibly one of the funniest scenes in the entire series, by sheer virtue of Peter's facial expressions as he hears Elizabeth accept the dinner invitation.
