Given the money Cover Affairs has spent on location shooting so far these first two episodes, I expect at least a couple later in the season to be bottle episodes taking place in the office and guest house.

That felt alot like a Leverage script repurposed for White Collar.  The show has never been terribly big on realism, but this one went a bit too far. Maybe this should have been a 3 parter rather then a 2 parter, I don't know.

I always liked this show, but I didn't realize how much until last night. It pretty much always managed to be pure fun. I haven't seen a good quarter of the episodes, so it will be nice to some day go back over the series and catch up.

I'm right there with you. I might go so far as to say that this was the weakest episode of either season.

Here's the family tree (forrest?). Monk begat Psych and Psych begat both the Mentalist and The Finder (which aren't even on the same network). Burn Notice was self generated and begat Covert Affairs, Royal Pains and, to a small degree, White Collar (which is truly the son/clone of Catch Me If You Can). White Collar…

Yeah, a few episodes ago she blew away a crazed Army Ranger with her shotgun. I feel like she was brining her C game to this particular operation.
