Trivia
The backdrop outside of Ellen's apartment - the river - is an actual view. It's not a fake.

Goofs
St. George and the Dragon by Raphael is actually oil on wood, not canvas, therefore, it could not have been stored in the roll as portrayed.

Quotes
Peter Burke: You once told me you never lied to me and you never will. So I need to know something. The first time Kramer and I went after you for the Degas, how did you switch the paintings?
Neal Caffrey: I snuck up to the penthouse, pulled the swap, then base-jumped off the building and landed on Wall Street.
Peter Burke: [laughing it off] Fine. Don't tell me.

Neals Commutation shows Krammer & Burke really not Thinking best for FBI

How often have we seen some Crime / Law Enforcement show where "Hackers" are offered Jobs?

Burke or Kramer should have thought we (FBI) does better with Neal on our side, and Neal wants to stay in NYC. So why don't we offer him a Job as a FBI CI Specialist? Not a FBI Agent.

Start with a 4 year Contract, and he is sent for specialized Training in Quantico. He stays under Peter; but 1 week or so per month or a month per quarter Neal goes to another FBI major city. To speak with other CI's and discuss time to have Purpose and stop being Selfish.

Maybe even work with Museums in having a Section of "Missing Art" where CI's make missing Paintings with original Artist but also the CI's Signature. Place where the Public gets to see "Missing Art" and be that "Extra Eyes" for Law Enforcement. Even small town Museums could have an area.

Neal even goes to Quantico to do a Day training with future Agents on how fakes are done.

Instead of giving Neal "Dignity" of being free, seen as really part of the team; Kramer is trying to extend Neal's time, and Peter is on the fence between TWO Cakes.

Then it would have maybe even had an Off shoot of Neal & Mozzie show?
