Yet another post on the White Collar summer finale
Well ... just a passing thought this time!
Something I was thinking about last night is that most of the show's finale/premiere pairs have had a general theme of conflict between the characters (in the finale) followed by resolution/teamwork/rebuilding trust in the next episode. Both the two mid-season finales in past seasons were very much that way: 1x07 ended with Peter being apparently revealed as the bad guy, followed by 1x08 and all its lovely rebuilding-trust scenes (♥); and 2x09 devoted most of the episode to Neal conning Peter et al in order to get close to Fowler, followed by 2x10 (Burke's Seven) which was all about everyone working together as a team to get Peter's job back.
In general, the premiere episodes have been very good character/friendship episodes; even this season's premiere had Neal throwing away his chance of making a clean getaway to save Jones' life, and patching things up with Peter after the major conflict at the end of the previous season's finale.
So ... it seems likely the trend will continue, and we'll get a reconciliation/rebuilding/teamwork episode next time? *fingers crossed*
