My favorite White Collar con was the Bible won, though I also enjoyed when Neal pulled a slight con and totally owned those students.
I liked when Neal went undercover to take down the corrupt politician. I think it was in the 2nd or 3rd episode of the second season
I like “Threads” when Neal and Peter infiltrate New York’s Fashion Week as they try to prevent an international criminal from selling sensitive data hidden in one of the runway dresses.
Cannot WAIT for this to come back next week – favorite con has to be duping the painting & curator at the Channing.
My favorite con of White Collar has to be the Franklin bottle from “Bottlenecked”. Its a great show of what Neal and Mozzie can do together and its also very smart.
My favorite was the one with the forged Bible. It was so hilarious.
My favorite con would be when Neal and Sara helped uncover the mystery of Edgar Halbridge. I love their chemistry and they make a really good team. Plus, in the previews, there looks like a potential hookup between the two! But when Sara faked her own death and then the look on Price’s face when he found out that Sara was actually alive was “priceless”. Also, when they discovered that Prince killed Halbridge and hid his body underneath the building like the “Tall Tale Heart”…that was awesome!! Love when Neal can work with people he may not necessarily like to get the job done!! Love love LOVE White Collar!!! <3 Lyss
I have to go with the classics. My favorite White Collar con is the way Neal escapes from prison in the pilot. I especially love how he not only has the valet uniform, but he manages to get a huge tip from the guy before stealing his car! Also, from the pilot, how Neal uses his position as an untrusted person to bend the rules and catch the bad guy, at the end of the episode, by giving Peter an excuse to come into the warehouse.
I loved when Diana and Jones were undercover parents for adoption was very funny to watch them as a couple.
My favorite con was Prisoner’s Dilemma. It involved Peter’s gray area of the law and featured Mozzie & Mrs. Suit interaction which makes me smile.
My favorite is the 1st episode of season two, when Neal and Peter are in the bank, and they sit and argue to avoid getting shot. Why is one? Because of the part where the lady holding the gun tries to interupt and both Neal and Peter look at here and say “WAIT!”. Classic.
I liked “Bottlenecked” and “Company Man”, oh heck I like them all!!!
My favorite con was probably the corrupt charity con in Vital Signs. Going undercover as doctors, truly scamming the doctor… so great. Plus it’s nice to see them give back to June ^^
Loved the con on the students and professor just cuz art forgeries and thefts are endlessly fascinating 😉
I liked the “Prisoner’s Dilemma” – clever to turn it around on the plus we got to see almost everyone take part of the con in some way or another. We got to see Mozzie’s safe hours and Lamborghini’s. And it had some great quotes.
my favorite has to be the episode where he forged a perfect sculpture and gave it to the museum as a gift. given enough time with the help of mozz using the camera to put in front of the other camera was genius. classic episode. cant wait for season 3
‘Point Blank’ because it was interesting to see Neal try to con the FBI and I didn’t see returning the music box to the Russians playing a role in his plan.
I liked Vital Signs when they tricked the guy to thinking something was wrong with him and they set up the “hospital room”.
My favorite con was from “Company Man”. Peter uses his accounting degree to go undercover in a corporate espionage case! Risking his own life, upholding his integrity, Peter realizes his career choice had always been the correct one.
I liked the cons in the episodes “Hard Sell,” “Copycat Caffrey,” and “Unfinished Business.”
My favorite con is from “Free Fall” where Neal is suspected of stealing the diamond, goes back to jail, and Mozzie becomes his lawyer (Go Cardinals). To prove his innocence he cons the judge into believing he’s going to confess. His swan dive out of the judge’s chambers window onto HIS bakery’s awning while Peter watched was wonderfully scripted.
Lovelovelove Neal’s ‘original’ con: his escape in the pilot. It shows exactly how good Neal is – and how easily he could have escaped any time during his sentence but chose not to.
I loved the “bottlenecked” con!
One of my favorite cons is when Neal and Peter took down the doctor in Vital Signs by faking his kidney failure. You couldn’t help but feel a little sorry for the guy but it was genius how Neal pretended to be the doctor in India! And Peter was hilarious as the chiropractor!
The best con in S1 was in Boiler Room with “Nick” selling all those shares and then being a badass with the gun
My favorite con from White Collar is the one with the criminology class from the episode, “Copycat Caffrey” because even though the thought that a basic Criminology class would use real cases to illustrate theories is inaccurate, I thought it was really fun to see Neal with the students and ‘showing’ them how it was all done. I also loved that the crim professor was the ringleader in all of it.
‘Prisoner’s Dilemma’. Not only did we get to see Neal run a con on a corrupt marshal, but we got to see how Peter would do on the run.
My favorite con/forgery was from the finale “Out Of the Box”. I love the sculpture Neal made to hide the hammer and lock pick set for the the safe containing the box. It was the first real time we saw how good of an artist Neal actually is, up until then we just saw how he knew about forgery but not the skill that got him in trouble in the first place. It also shows his ingenuity in how to conceal the tools.
My favorite con was probably from “CopyCat Caffrey”. I actually loved that we got to explore a con from Neal’s past.
My favorite con (if it counts, since it’s not really a con) is when Neal breaks into the bank in the season two premiere. If it doesn’t, I love his escape from prison in the pilot. It’s beautifully complex without being too showy, and gives us a really nice insight into his character.
Favorite con has to be when Neal sells an expensive sportscar while Peter is out on a test drive, posing as car salesman extraordinaire Nick Halden. Classic!
I liked the prison escape in the pilot episode. I also liked the counterfeit Mexican war bond con.
my favorite con could be in “by the book”, in the way mozzie stands as the hero, facing armed guys and still manages to keep calm and send hints to neal and peter
My favorite con has to be when Mozzie got Neil involved with helping Alex with the Kugerrands. The way he and the kids made the switch, and Peter smirking as he says he’s glad Neil is on their side.
I loved Neil’s con where he managed to convince the congressman that he was going to get the negative attention off of him about his scandalous affairs. He started a rumor of a baseball park that was to be built, but was being blocked by a group of congressman wanting a football stadium. None of it was true. He managed to get the congressman arrested and the park was built for the neighborhood kids.
They were shooting Season 3 stuff right near my office, it was awesome!!! My favorite ep? The one where Neal convinces a politician to “say no to the stadium” which isn’t going to be built… brilliant!
“By the Book”. Mozzie is such a sweetie!
I loved the con that the bad guys pulled in “Copycat Caffrey”, because I like that they were imitating Neal 😀
I agree with Sam and have to say I loved his original excape from prison. I also loved Mozzie stalling the delivery guy.
Favorite is hard, but I’m going with Free Fall – the whole plan of Neal buying the bakery, forcing the arraignment to be moved, breaking the air conditioning, and then jumping 4 stories so that he could be free to prove his innocence was great.
My favorite con has to be Neal himself! He may be “reformed,” but he still has some of the con in him: he sometimes lies to Peter, keeps his knowledge of the music box secret, and continues to charm everyone as a means to his ends. The man is a genius!
My favorite con was from the “copycat caffery” epidsode. I love how Neal went undercover and joined the students to actually find the stolen painting. I think it was hilarious to see Neal’s never-ending self-love. He truly is quite obsessed with himself, but in the end he always gets the job done! He proved that there’s never anything quite like the original!
I think mine would be the Bible con where twice in that episode Mozzie was able to first con a NYPD cop to get into a crime scene without a badge to get evidence and then later in the episode where Mozzie discreetly just takes the bible from Neal after he/the bible was shot.
The reason being, all Mozzie needed was a FBI windbreaker and he was able to become a FBI agent and mix in with the real ones in order to get what he/Neal needed.
my favorite was by the Book when Mozzie has to trust the Suit and Neal to save him.
White Collar and Burn Notice are the only 2 shows I watch religiously. I love Neil and the cons he pulls. My favorite con would have to be Home Invasion (season one) with the jade elephants. I love that Neil was getting irked by the man who is set to copy Neil’s suave moves. I laugh every time I watch it.
My 12 year old son, Devin, and I enjoy watching white Collar together. He ha a selection of fedora’s he wears while watching, too! Devin’s favorite con is when Neal steals the music box, only to be out-conned by Alex. Mozzie’s camera work to hold the security guys at bay was fantastic. My favorite is “Prisoner’s Dilemma”.
My favorite heist was the one with Ben Franklin’s wine bottle. It was so clever and well thought out! But all of them are and that’s exactly why I love the show so much!
My favorite con was definitely the wine bottle con from Bottlenecked. Just pure cleverness although, I felt that Neal would have figured out the plan from the beginning if it were real life.
LOVE ’em all!!! But my favorite scene is where Neal and Peter are under pressure of a gun in the bank vault and they start arguing back and forth and they work as a team and throw the dye pack at the person holding the gun. My other fav is where Neal goes under cover among the big money young guys who are out playing skeet shooting, etc…and then he gets caught lying and still manages to turn things in his favor due to his great skill as spin……..GO MATT! 🙂
I love white collar :}
Best show on USA network.
“Free Fall” has to be my favorite con because it demonstrated Neal’s more behind-the-scenes type of planning. Buying a property solely to pull off a jump-through-the-window escape still seems risky and genius to me.
The adoption – for so many reasons – it showed so much of each character – their kindness, background, compassion, etc. – well written well acted
It’s really hard to choose a favorite, because they’ve all been so good, but I would probably have to go with the “Copycat Caffrey” or “Prisonner’s Dilemma”. But I miss the Kate sightings, and keep thinking she might turn up alive. I think they should bring her back! And Alex, too. And please tell me Mozzie is going to be Okay!
My favorite con is in Home Invasion where Neal and Peter have to recover the jade elephants to prevent an international incident. I think it was genius how Neal prevented himself from being killed and also caught the bad guy(girl) at the same time by turning all of the lights and electronics in Peter’s house on. This episode was not only very exciting to watch, but it was also written very well and comical at the same time.
I’m simple; I love the cons that are quick and easy for Neal like getting into a building without proper ID by having your hands full with coffee and not being able to reach “his ID”. Caffrey always acts like he belongs anywhere and that’s the ultimate key to being a great thief.
My favorite was “Hard Sell” because the audience gets to see Neal in his element, trying to sell fake stock. He is so great at sweet talking the customers that he becomes a top seller on his first day. Love the show and can’t wait for the rest of season 2!
My favorite episode is season one episode seven when Neal is accused of stealing the pink jewel. Not only did the episode show a lot about Neal and his methods but you got to see how sneaky and stealth he and Mozzie can be and why it took so long for Neal to get caught and how much potential to be good or bad he has 🙂
I love the con that Neal and Moze pull on the teacher and students studying him in college. Man, that episode is amazing. Why can’t we all be as cool as Neal?
My favorite episode was the one in which Neal and Mozzie faked the Benjamin Franklin wine bottle. They combined history, larceny, and, of course, style, to outwit the bad guy.
Wow, so hard to pick a favorite because they are all so amazing!! I guess I would say “Bottlenecked” because it was so well written and executed…showing just how perfect Neal and Mozz are together!!
My favourite con has to be the importing of all those copies of Spanish Snow White to print all those Goya bonds. Neal shone as he used his crazy intellect to identify what was being forged (through the CH initials of the Dutchman) and get him permanently out of prison working for the FBI. Brilliant!
My favorite was the fake hospital room. The look on the “patient’s” face was classic! 🙂
Let me win :D. I would really love this prize package, and the show is one of my all-time favorites.
I love White Collar! I like the Bible con the best definitely! It’s really hilarious, you just gotta love this show!
i really dont have a favorite i really have enjoyed all the episodes the part i like best about them all is neals friendship with mozzie and how they are always dropping famous quotes to each other and as for neals friendship with peter i think as a front it all lokks good for now but who knows what the rest of the series will hold. hopefully they can continue working together as they have successfully on so many cases. i think neal may be up to something in the next part of this season and im counting the days till next tuesday so i can see if im right. heres to the best series i have ever seen on tv. i hope white collar can run for many years to come as so many crime shows have in the past, i think this one has a leg up on all of them cause no other series has an excon working on every case with the fbi. looking forward to manay more seasons. keep it up guys.
My favorite so far is the one where Neal works the stock scheme. The comic book room was pretty epic.
The Portrait is by far the most complicated: Neal cons the uncle, the thief, and the curator of the museum. Did someone say Robin Hood?!
My favorite con was when Peter and Neal have dinner and go up to thee hotel room with the French girls. It was pretty funny to see Peter interact with a girl acting like a drunken prom date. Hilarious.
My favorite con was from the episode “Bottlenecked.” I love antique wine bottles.
My favorite is from “Vital Signs” when Neal and the team get Dr. Powell into believing his kidney was failing by switching his clothes and putting itching powder on them as well as adding special food coloring to his cranberry juice. He then makes him give them the password for the special bank account he was using for the kidney donors. Neal did it all for June’s granddaughter which brought out the true kindness in him.
My favorite con of White Collar has to be with the college kids because Peter also got a little con play in that one too. It involved Neal, Alex, Mozzie, Peter, and Jones. Classic moves to get one over on the professor. Also love the end when Peter leaves the forms for the other students and says “I wear a badge, he wears a tracking anklet.”
My favorite con is the forging of the Franklin bottle from the episode “Bottlenecked”. I loved how they went into detail on all the things that go into forging that wine bottle. I think the show should do more things on forging stuff, that’s what’s really interesting. For example the forging of the painting from “The Portrait” episode.
I love them all, really, but I have to agree with Preston about that great scene in the bank vault right before Neal gets her in the face with the security ink. Peter and Neal’s chemistry is so great.
Loved the episode where Neal had to fake a wine bottle; just the amount of detail that went into it and all the different places they had to source the pieces to put the bottle together was just awesome.
My favorite episode is “Withdrawal” where they investigate the bank robberies… BUT i LOVE the show,and it is hard to pick just one for my favorite!!!! CAN NOT wait for the new season to start and see if Moz is ok….
I think the politician scam was great – unfortunately I could see a lot of people running for office falling for that.
The “Girl with Locket” con. It shows just how good of a painting forger Neal is, and he does it for a good reason. He gets the French guy arrested, and he also tells off the snobby guy from the Channing! Get it Caffrey!
I think my favorite con would have to be the one where Peter had to go under cover in a company just to figure out what was going on. Methinks someone was getting used to the nice coffee.
I loved when neal went undercover with a possible heist to the teacher and his students and managed to teach the teacher a big lesson about who was really in control the whole time.
Loved the one with the professor who used his students to help commit the cons.
Favorite con is when Neal is an undercover stock broker. He just goes in there and shows everyone whats up and how to do work
My favorite con was in the episode “Need to Know” where Neal fixes an election by trumping up an imaginary stadium tearing down a beloved park. Not only that but watching Diana pose as an ‘escort’ was SOOOO deliciouso!
I specifically don’t have a favorite since every episode was unbelievably waited for. However, the last con was the best.
My favorite con has to be when Neal cons the corrupt doctor into thinking he’s in some far away country about to die! I just love the doctor’s reaction when he realizes he’s still in New York City with FBI agents (and consultant) flashing their badges at him!
My favorite con was when Neal helped the FBI stop the Architect. I liked this one, because it was the first time we ever saw another con man almost con Neal. I think it was what Neil needed to put his nose in the grindstone and realize if he was going to solve her death since the corrupt FBI agent is also playing a game Neal has never seen before.
My fave is when Neal escapes the judge’s chambers out onto the awning of the bakery he had just purchased in “Free Fall.” Of course the owner wouldn’t object!
hopefully this counts as a con, but the season 2 opener “Withdrawal” had the bank heist setup that just blew my mind… genius
my favorite con from White Collar would have to be from season 1 episode 12 “Bottlenecked”. I would say this would have to be the best con because Neal actually had to put science into factors about the bottle, the history, and the difficulty of the con. He needed to steal items to pull it together,when usually he didn’t have to, and although, his opponent had the real bottle, it was the hardest forgery to pull of, and Mozzie put the bottle together well. the end was the best part of it though. 😀
I appreciated the Vital Signs episode, as it showed how incredible Neal and the FBI are working together– tricking him into thinking he has kidney failure was a master stroke.
My favorite con is when the college class is study cons and a secret group of them decides to copy cat one of Neil’s old jobs. Then Neil cons the class into thinking he’s helping when he is actually conning Oswald.
Only a true con can pull of a double con.
I love the episode when Neal went “back to school” to school the Criminology prof. It was completely hilarious watching him set up to con the con man while having his ego stroked by being on the curriculum.
I love the episode with the stolen organs. They are trying to help the grandson receive an organ and in the midst of it all, Peter has to pretend to be a doctor with “great hands” and Neil is administered drugs that have him telling Peter some truths about things!
In the pilot episode, Neal cons a priest into believing that Peter is being tempted by his “devastatingly gorgeous assistant at work”. This con really sets up the whole show from here on out. Neal’s silver tongue does all the work as his mind whirls with more things to say so they can get a closer look at the church. It’s everything White Collar is about: the con, the humor, and the relationship between Peter & Neal.
I think I enjoy all of the episodes equally, but I think my favorite was when Neil and Mozzie got in over their head with the organized crime and had to go to Peter for help.
I love them all but copycat Caffrey is my favorite, I love it because its albout Neal.
My favorite con so far is the one he ran in Copycat Caffrey against the professor and his students that were copying the style of famous thieves. The interplay between Neal and the most arrogant of the students was hysterical. That episode really emphasized the difference between Neal’s old life and his new one.
My favorite episode is “copycat caffrey” When the theft of a famous painting makes the papers, Neal and Peter think they have a copycat on their hands who is taking inspiration from Neal’s past cons. The team tracks a lead to a local university where a professor is teaching Neal’s most famous jobs as part of his curriculum. The professor is played by Aidan Quinn who I love. Neal and Peter think the professor has been using his students to pull off heists that mirror the crimes in his class syllabus. Also Alex is back in town and she needs Neal and Mozzie’s help. Alex being back causes even more problems making the episode that much better.
Mine has to be Bottlenecked. You’ve got Neal matching wits with Keller and Peter posing in the con – great stuff.
my favorite con was in Free Fall i believe it is, when Neal, to get out the judges office, buys the bakery next door and then dives out of the window and lands on top of the bakery.
The con that was my favorite was the one where he steals the music box with Alex and Mozzie. That episode showed a great deal of their teamwork and his artistic side (as well as his fine upper body)
It also showed that there was a special bond of friendship between Neal and Peter.
My favoite episode would have to be “Hard Sell” though because Neal shows Peter that he trusts him with his life.
My favorite con was in “Need to Know” where he cons the politician and his doubletalk about the stadium/children’s park fits right into today’s political atmosphere. No one knows what anyone else means. And as Neal says, if there is talk about something, it must be true. Also, the scene with Neil and Diana at the bar was so SEXY and their talk in the hotel room was moving. Neils drawing of the bridge was extraordinary.
I loved the whole concept of con in Hard Sell. It showed amazing talkative skills of Neal, and his exceptional intelligence.
Also loved when he posed as a car seller to get some informations and actually sold a car 😉
My favorite con was when Peter and Neal went undercover to catch the organ dealing doctor. Peter had to flirt!
My favorite con is when they set up the guy who is blackmailing the parents who adopt kids and says the birth mother wants more money, and neal pretends to get beaten up to get a confession. I cant wait for the new season I have been bored with tv when its not on.
Of all the the cons, I would have to say that my favorite one would have been All In. It had me on the edge of my seat the entire time.
My favorite “con” was when Neil and Mozzie create the forgery of a rare bottle of wine in “Bottlenecked.”
I loved when hilarie burton wan on and he had to ‘kill’ her. I loved how he totally played her but was as sweet as can be doing it. He is the perfect con artist. The contrast between him and ‘the suit’ is awsome. Its like a father son relationship
I love White Collar!! Matt Bomer is SO fine. I like the Franklin bottle con in “Bottlenecked”. Neal and Mozzie make a fine and funny pair!
I think my favorite was when Neal pulls the con on the professor and students. Neal was so funny when he found out he was the subject of a class.
My favorite con was definitely “Free Fall” with the pink diamond. That was just great!
“I’m trying to preserve the crime scene!”
it’s a tough choice but I gotta go with Hard Sell, Neal could really sell anything and watching him sell shares and stuff in that amazing location was just so amazing. Then he convinced Peter to go undercover as well, and they had the other amazing location at Long Island Sound with the comic room (Go Justice Lad!) and no air. So fun and so perfect!
I would have to say the con in season 1 episode 12 “Bottlenecked” It was so cool to see all the steps but in to create the replica bottle of wine owned by Benjamin Franklin! Shows off so many of Neal’s skills as a conman! Not to mention the fact that he has to beat another conman so it shows us how awesome Neal is! Can you tell I LOVE Neal?! If I were to say my favorite episode though it would have to be Point Blank which is this season episode 9. I loved the scene with Neal sailing across from one balcony over to the other and breaking through to get in, Neal is bad-ass! I am dying to find out about Mozzie too!
the con where Mozzie took the reins when he was trying to save the waitress he was in love with. he didnt quite think out the end of the con, but worked with the rest of the guys to figure it out in the end.
My favorite con/episode has to be from “Free Fall” with the pink diamond – that’s when the conspiracy with Fowler really comes into play…
My fave con was Vital Signs…Neal was hilarious when he was
caught and got drugged. I also think the episode where he was
hired to be hit man was great…especially the part where Sarah and
Neal are on the rooftop.
My favorite con was the based in the episode of “Copycat Caffrey”. This episode was amusing, witty and brilliant all wrapped up in one. Just watching Neal’s ego balloon in this episode is alone worth watching!
My favorite con is the one in “Copycat Caffrey” mainly because of Peter’s speech to the class at the end. “I wear a badge. He wears a tracking anklet. Applications are on the table.”
My favorite White Collar con was from the episode “Company Man”. I liked how Peter was the wrong-doer; stealing a car, helping a suspect, even going to Mozzie for a hideout place. It showed just how far he’d go for what he feels is the right thing, not based on the intentions of what his boss might say, or how things might end up. He really honed in on his “Caffrey” side!
The “double” con used to get back the Krugerrands in Copycat Caffrey was very entertaining specially since it was a mixture of the proffesional con artist with the amateur ones. Im happy White Collar is coming back, hopefully throughout this break the writers thought of some more interesting twists.
I love them all. I cannot wait until the new season begins.
“Vital Signs” was a particularly interesting episode, especially when the team had to fake the symptoms of renal failure on the guy running the whole transplant con. It was also pretty amusing when Neal pulled out the cereal box sheriff’s star at the end. 🙂
My favorite con was testing bank security at the beginning of season 2. Elegant. Not letting the audience in on it until after the fact was wonderfully executed.
I love the cons that Mozzie gets involved in they are always so funny! Especially when he is hiding something from Peter 🙂
Without a doubt, the best con was pulled on the college students and professor. Mozzie’s knowledge of the mob made it priceless when Peter approached the professor. Love this show. The script is simply genius.
I loved ‘vital signs’ cox dats Neal tells Peter that how much he trust’s him n also how much Peter cares for NEal. That was awesum
My favorite is Free Fall. I loved watching him jump out of the window and him hiding in Peter’s house.
I can’t decide: I love the episode where Agent Rice hangs him out to dry by handing him over to Wilkes, who’s kidnapped the daughter of the man whose bonds Neal forged. The best part is when Neal goes ahead to take down the criminal courier Edward Riley, and Mozzie shows up to run the “Zig Zag” scheme. But I also love when Neal shows up to get Diana out of a tight spot as a high $ call girl. Or when he tells Keller he’s the one who bought the Franklin bottle — They’re ALL great cons and all played perfectly by everyone in the show!
My favorite cons was in the episode “In the Red”. Its hard to pick just one con from White Collar. Its just a great show and all the cons are amazing.
A favorite con? Hmm… The jewelry being stolen through the secret exit because it showed a particularly skilled and conniving crime and criminal.
My personal favourite would be the way Neal took down the Dutchman, leaving us forever unsure wheather the bond in the safe is the original, and not just a quickly swapped copy while Peter takes everyone’s attention away. Proving once again that behind this charming persona is a thief ready to steal anything just for the fun of it, and the bigger the heist the bigger the fun!
It’s hard to pick just one favorite but I will pick “Hard Sell” because you can see Neal regaining more trust in Peter and I think their trust, friendship and chemistry are very important in the series.
My favorite episode is “By the Book”. To see Mozzie have to rely on the FBI was hilarious, particularly when they made him go to the office. Also, seeing Mozzie get emotional about a girl was cute. Loved Neal describing the perfect exchange and Mozzie realizing he was screwed in that very scenario.
My favorite con is the one where Neal creates the statue to give to the museum in order to hide his safe-cracking tools. The Trojan horse aspect is really interesting, and the fact that Neal sculpted it draws attention to his artistic side and the fact that he is an excellent artist, an aspect that is often overshadowed by his helping Peter in other ways.
The episode where they go undercover to get the wall street brokers
I love the escape con when Neal jumps out the judge’s window onto the awning – and the look on Peter’s face when he does it!
My favorite was Botlenecked when Neal and Mozzie created the bottle. Then they out coned the other guy.
I liked out of the box when Neal creates the statue to hide his tools. It reminded me of the trojan horse. Also in the end Neal choose to stay in NY with Peter.
My favorite “White Collar” con would be the one where they bamboozled that Organ Donor scam. Tricking the doctor at his own game was hilarious. A close second would be the one with the kidnapped girl where Neal was kidnapped himself – some real quick thinking there.
“Prisoner’s Dilemma” is one of my absolute favorites. Mozzie and Mrs.Suit are hilarious! It’s also interesting to see a by-the-book FBI agent like Burke on the run. ^_^ .
my fav was the way he conned the students at the university
I love a man who knows how to wear a hat and a Devore suit. Currently enjoying the marathon leading up to the new episodes.
my favorite con man neal and the two out standing episodes the win bottle one and stealing musice box and yes best of best neal ever first episode canada bill forgery and how he work around the naklet monitor and put other conman in jail
“Front Man.” The whole idea was brilliant and Wilkes was far and beyond the best villain they have ever had. I loved it 🙂
Picking a favorite con is like picking which child to love the most. I love them all. Yet the ones I always end up remembering ar the “Pilot”, because Neal charms himself into some swank digs and picks up his suit. Also, “Hard Sell” because of the banter with Burke and “Prisoner’s Dilemma,” because of Mozzie and how they show how unique he is.
The suit and the hat define. Neal, it wouldn’t be the same show without it..
My favorite con is between when Neal escapes onto the canopy from the window and when he makes up the story about the politician and the sports park.
My favorite con has to be the one from Vital Signs where the team convinces Dr. Powell that his kidney is failing and he goes to Neal, posing as a Dr. Parker from DGI, to get a new one. I really liked the creativity and planning that went into this con and it was fun to watch Peter enjoy himself in the process. It was a little unsettling seeing Neal portray a somewhat sinister character as he is getting Powell to confess about his secret account by shaking him down, but still enjoyable. Also, the smirk on his face when Powell finds out he has been conned into confessing is just priceless, and the fake sheriff’s badge just tops it off nicely. Over all, Vital Signs is definitely one of my favorite episodes. The con is pretty awesome, and Neal singing in the clinic just adds icing to the cake. 🙂
The con on the students and professor.
“The Portrait”. I loved seeing Neal actually put his painting talents to use. They really don’t show enough of that in the show. I also loved that they showed (a little) of authenticating the painting. I hate to admit it, but I changed my major because of that episode.
My favorite con was definitely in the pilot, when Neal breaks out of prison (or, well, “breaks”). There’s just something about the way it was shown that gives it a particular flair that is all Neal. Also, we get to see Peter figuring it out after the fact, and piecing together where he’s gone / why he did it in the first place.
One of my favorite episodes is “Bad Judgment” where Peter’s job is at risk thanks to the crooked individuals in the System; a system that Peter works so hard to defend. It’s always dangerous to go after a higher power, in this case, a Federal Judge, but it needs to be done because people should not be abusing their power. Peter is always saving others but this time he needed the saving. He showed concern but it was satisfying to see everyone come to his aid. I love Mozzie, especially how he conducts his inspection with his style. I absolutely adore Peter and Elizabeth’s relationship and it was really cute how Elizabeth showed Peter that she loved Italian food by holding a sign.
Its hard to pick a favorite… but it would probably be The Portrait. Neal shows a sweet side which isn’t seen most of the time.. 🙂 It shows how good Neal is at painting too. Mozzie shows his intrest in art as well when Neal is forging the painting and Mozzie tells him that the pigment needs to be aged.
haha
“my dearest Walter, i know what you saw here last time.” NC
But it soo sad when he sees Kate and gets to talk to her, but when he goes to get her she is gone… 🙁
Altogether my favorite. 😀
My favorite con was the “copycat caffery”.
Especially since they seemed to think they could outcon Neal.
Bad move.
Hmmm… so many to pick from… probably the copycat one at the school!
Love this show!!! 😀 (and not just because Matt Bomer is HOTTT!)
My favorite con is the music box episodes with Alex. They are always trying to outdo each other with their cons. There’s nothing like a con artist trying to con another con artist.
My fave con so far was in Hard Sell. I loved the idea that Neal, who is normally logical, jumps to conclusions about Peter making the operation riskier.
Good luck to everyone!
I liked the con in Point Blank where they faked the FBI file. That was pretty interesting how they went through the steps. A lesson in the faults with bureacracy. 😉
When Neal forged that bottle of wine! 😀 So elaborate and what a twist!
All of them!
But to narrow it down, the one where he plays all those students and the teacher. People always think they can be better than the original. You should always improve on an idea never duplicate.
I loved Need to Know
Neal goes undercover as a political “fixer” in order to bring down a corrupt politician.
My favorite con, some may not consider a con but just part of Neal’s debonair lifestyle was when he upgraded his “Motel, with a M” (As Neal and Peter put it in ‘Home Invasion’) to living in his swank penthouse apartment atop June’s house. Also, giving him the use of Byron’s sleek suits that only add to Neal’s charm.
This was my favorite because Byron himself was a con artist and for Neal to randomly meet, sweet talk, and subsequently move in with her, (knowing full well who Neal is and what he does) is just a perfect display of Neal.
Also, I love the look on Peter’s face when he finds out and just wonders, “How”?
“By the Book”. It was fun seeing Mozzie walk the fine line of maintaining his disdain for law enforcement, while helping them out.
My favorite con came from the episode “Vital Signs”, when the gang took on Dr. Powell and the Hearts Wide Open Charity in order to find out why June’s granddaughter got bumped from the organ donor list. Not only did Peter have to pretend to be a chiropractor (and practice his flirting skills which later got him in trouble with Elizabeth!), but Neal gets caught, restrained, and drugged at the clinic before serenading us with his wonderful voice. In the end, they let Dr. Powell believe that he was in the last stages of kidney failure by giving him false symptoms so that he would pay his own charity millions for a donor. They made him believe he was traveling overseas as well, when in fact, he was right at home in New York. So overall, this was a humorous, feel-good episode, and June’s granddaughter ended up back up on the donor list. Well-done.
My favourite one is the Copycat Neal! His pride of being inspiration for somebody and his joy was totally funny, what’s more when Peter new that thing will go “this” way… It was also great to see that nobody can go over Neal and even those students learned all his ways he gave them a lesson and saved a day once again! All the Best form Polish fans!
Great show come on Jan 18th. Can Hardly Wait.
Vital Signs. The episode was humorous and uplifting, and the gang took down Dr. Powell and Hearts Wide Open. June’s granddaughter got back on the organ donor list where she belonged.
My favorite con is “Vital Signs”. I love how Neal works his charm and gets into the representative’s car to look at her files. I like how Peter also has learned a few tricks and posed as the chiropractor. Classic! My favorite part of this episode was when they made it look like Parker’s kidney was failing. It was so creative and ended in hilarious results. Neal is a real character and Peter has the perfect personality to go along with Neal’s. The two of them are so entertaining together and I love it when Peter’s face changes when all he can do is ask “how?”
There are so many great white collar shows, there has never been one that I haven’t liked. I have been waiting for them to come back on forever. To pick which one of the cons that is my favorite is pretty much impossible because they are all so great. But one of the best times ever on white collar is when he said he would confess to the stealing of the necklace and asked for the meeting to be moved the judge’s chambers. Mozzie then broke the air conditioning so that the window would be open. And Neal bought the bakery under the judge’s chambers so he could jump out of the window and escape. One of the most thrilling episodes EVER. White Collar is the greatest show ever on tv.
My favorite con was in the pilot. I love how Neal “took off” to the warehouse, locked himself in the office and just sat down waiting for the FBI to bust him. Absolutely perfect. I knew from that ep. that the show would be excellent!!
My favorite con is when Neal replicated the old bottle of wine to swap at the auction.
My favorite Con is found in the episode “Withdrawal,” where the boys face some bank robbers. Neal is such a smooth criminal when he fake robs a targeted bank for the FBI! The security system was no match for his smarts and charm! And when he and Peter are pretending to argue in the vault to distract the robber, that was just priceless!
My fave con was the episode with Neal going to the poker game to beat the shady child adoption man 🙂
The first shows Con got me totally hooked on white collar!! I now have my daughter and Mom hooked on it too!! Counting down the days until the new season!!
It is very hard to pick my favorite con. Any that showcase Mozzie rank pretty high in my book. I will go with “Prisoner’s Dilemma.” Ack.
“Need to Know” is my favorite episode and con! The way Neal plays as if he’s on the politician’s team and then turns on him to seal the deal for the feds is great! I love Mozzie in that episode too. My favorite part is when he’s talking to Peter and says: “Life is more manageable when thought of as a scavenger hunt as opposed to a surprise party.” Just to funny!
My favorite is “Need to Know” when Neal goes undercover as a political “fixer” in order to bring down a corrupt politician.
My favorite con was during the episode “Need to Know” when Neal is working for the corrupt politician and is helping him lie a lot and Mozzie believes all the lies that Neal has helped to create.
We have really enjoyed all of them, the writing and acting are great. But to choose one, “Unfinished Business” had some nice twists to it and suspense as well.
My favorite con was when Neal said he would admit to a theft if the meeting was moved to the judges chambers. The audience feels there is no way out but Neal is show in a position of power the whole time. Every little detail was thought out with the purchase of the bakery to the ac not working to the fake van escape. The whole episode has you on edge and proves white collar is one of the best shows on tv (if not the best)
My favorite con is when Neal was the stock broker. There were a lot of twists in that episode.
My favorite con was in Vital Signs when Neal, Peter, & the rest trick Powell into believe his kidney was failing & then that he was at a hospital in India. Vital Signs is one of my favorite episodes & the con is so good
My favorite con turned out to not actually be a con after all. When he stole the money from the bank and just ditched all the ink packs, only to give them to Peter as a test to the bank’s security, I died laughing!
My favorite con was with the music box. I loved that Neil had the key and even though Peter thought he was ahead of Neil he still needed his help and learned to trust him. I thought that story line was good but was sad they killed Kate off. Or did they? Will you be brining her back? What a twist that would be?!
My favorite was in the episode about the music box when Neal conned the FBI into helping him find Alex, who he thinks may have already cracked the code of the music box.
But I love ’em all!
My favorite is the one where Neal plays the stock broker, great episode.
I love vital signs. Neal and Peter pulling the con on the doc to get help for June’s granddaugther show just what kindof people they are at heart. Really great people with very big hearts.
My favorite con is the next one! It’s like opening a present each time I watch!
OmG…pick one…no way all the shows are wonderful! The scripts are top notch, the cast is amazing…i think everyweek how will the top that….hands down, smart, sexy, and amazing! I think “Copycat Caffrey” was one of the standouts if i had to choose! Looking forward to Jan 18!
My favorite con is the next one! It’s like opening a present each time I watch White Collar!
I think I have to go with Prisoner’s Dilemma…the more Mozzie the better
I like all of the cons lol! One of my favorites was when Aidan Quinn was teaching a Neal Caffrey class and pulling crimes with some of the students! Cannot wait for January18!!
I like the one where they are testing the bank for security and then the bad guys break back in and neil and peter have to outsmart the bank employee by busting a dye pack in her eye.
It is so hard to chose a favorite as I love all the episodes they are so well written and acted. For pure fun, I love “By the Book” and “Prisoner’s Dilema” which gave us a look into Mozzie’s life. They better get the ba*tard who shot him 😀
My fav was the episode where Neal conned the guy who was setting up fake adoptions. He conned him during the poker game putting him on the spot for his gambling debt.
My favorite is when Neal try to shoot Fauler I love how he did the trick with the gun to pass through security . Love all the episodes. Best show that could ever exist… Maybe one day get to meet them.
my favorite con was copycat Caffrey.
My favorite con is the one where Neal gets the college chick to pay him for drinking the shot under his hat. It’s such an old con, she should never have fallen for it.
My favorite con was the one involving taking down the Senator, because not only did it involve Neal using his ability to manipulate people as a cover career, but because we got to see Diana be awesome as an undercover escort.
My favorite con Was “bottlenecked” Really enjoyed the science, history and art
Combination.
It’s hard to pick, but my favorite con has to be “Free Fall”, when Neal is accused for taking the pink diamond, escapes by jumping out of the judge’s window onto the bakery canopy, and has to prove he was framed, all while Peter is being bugged/watched by Fowler. Can’t wait till the 18th!
Favorite con…
The one with the students and the briefcase switch. So smooth…
My favorite con was the finale (except for the Mozzie part at the end). Neal was suave and just cool when he throws the gun around the metal detector and swings around from the balcony!
favorite con is the the one where he’s at the resturant with his co-works (undercover) and he gets the mean guy to pay for everyone’s food.
My favorite con is when Neal and Peter break into the bank and Neal is thinking about taking the money for himself and uses the dye pack against the employee.
I loved the con in “The Portrait.” It was amazing to watch him copy and age an exact replica of the orginal painting to the point that it even had the agents fooled! It really helped us see the skilled artist in Caffrey, which is something I wouldn’t mind seeing again!
Even though I’m a hardcore fan of all of the White Collar episodes, my favorite would have to be “In The Red” because instead of Neal, the FBI agents became the con men!
i have so many episodes! so hard to choose! well my top three are
1.) Free Fall
2.) Hard Sell
3.) Point Blank
but i guess ive watched Hard Sell the most (the one where Neal goes undercover in the stock brokers’ office and confronts Peter at the end about Kate)i love when Neal goes out and does something reckless. i need to watch season one’s first couple episodes again becuz i feel like i missed some…anyone wanna loan me a copy? 🙂
My favorite con was Neal posing as a fixer for the corrupt politician in “Need to Know.” He took him down, got a park built, and did it all for Timmy Nolan.
I love every episode of White Collar, so it’s hard to pick a favorite con. I’d have to go with “Hard Sell”, however. I loved seeing Neal go undercover as Nick Halden in the Boiler Room scam. It was fun seeing him as a salesman because he is so damn good at it. And I loved Peter’s initial vote of confidence at the beginning — classic quote: “You think I can keep up with these guys? Peter, I’m flattered.” “Give me a break – you could sell light switches to the Amish.” 😀
I have so many favorites. I could watch this show every night of the week and never get bored with it. I love the humor that is used between the characters. The tenison between Neal and Peter,at times. Mozzie quotes, and everything else inbetween.
With that said, if I had to pick a favorite it would be “Front Man”, the ZIG-ZAG SCAM!!!!
my fav con is when they end up con the crinmal justice professor to get the kugarans and the painting back everyboby is on top of there game jones did a great job and alex and neil were great together in the bar and peter played the mob boss from chicago great with mozzies help just a great script with great actors love this show
This is difficult because I love them all, but I guess my favorite con is “Bottlenecked”.
Though I think all of the cons are pretty neat, I really loved the one with the corrupt judge. The way they went about it seemed cooler to me than some of the others. Neal just keeps showing how awesome he is!
My Favorite con was from “In the Red” … The adoptive parents one… there was so much going on that one!!
When he cons the Bank for the FBI to show their security systems is faulty, in the Episode Withdrawal.
My favorite con is in Free Fall.
I LOVE every episode of White Collar.. the Withdrawal, Music Box with Alex, Point Blank, Need to Know and any episode with Mozzie.
My favorite episode is the one where the students and the professors act as the cons using tricks Neal used.
My favorite con from the show would probably when Neil forges the sculpture to give as a gift. It was genius, plus it really backed up Neil’s passion for the arts and his skill in it!
My favorite con is the “say no to the stadium” con. They had everyone going!
This is hard… I love the episode with the bible or the art one. It really shows him as a con man. haha. But the first episode will always be the best with him escaping prison and all. Love this show!! 🙂
I liked the con where Neal and Mozzie worked together to con the delivery guy to get the blank tape switched for the actual tape in the package. I also liked when Neal posed as the car salesman and sells a ferrari to a guy that no one else would give the time of day.
Neil is a genuis at social engineering. Amazing how people won’t question you when you ACT like you are supposed to be there and doing what you are doing. Love all the episodes. My favorite con would be when Neil cons the students and professor.
My favorite con is the one that Neal, Mozzie, and Alex pulled at the Italian Embassy.
My favorite’s gotta be “Copycat Caffrey” when the students get duped in the bar by Neal and Alex.
My favorite is when Neal sells an expensive sportscar while Peter is out on a test drive, posing as car salesman Nick Halden.
I love when Neal and Alex duped the college students. Well, I love when Neal does anything. 🙂
My favorite con is when Neal goes to the warehouse, locks himself in the crook’s office, and then waits for the FBI to arrive. Because he violated the perimeter of his tracking anklet, the FBI agents then have good reason to enter the warehouse.
My favorite episode is Hard Sell. I loved seeing how the trust between Peter and Neal had matured after weathering some pretty substantial challenges. I love the scene outside after they escape the airless room when they are talking and you realize: these guys are really good friends now. They like each other, they really like each other. And then after all that has happened, Peter has to fess up about Kate!
I enjoy the bigger pictute con throughout Season 1 of finding Kate thruoghout New York. I would have loved to see Neal THAT vurnable more often.
I love the amount of detail Neal and mozzie put into counterfeiting the wine bottle in “Bottlenecked”, only to realize they were being played by Neal’s old rival. Of course, they turn the tables on Keller, with Peter’s help.
My absolute favorite White Collar heist was when Neal was framed for the jewelry heist. He tells Mozzie to liquidate assets because he wants to buy a bakery. It takes the audience a while to realize why he wants the bakery. But his confession in the Judge’s chambers is the highlight of the episode: He tells the judge that this will be the best thing ever. Then he dives out the window, onto the awning, and disappears. It was so unexpected and just an awesome example of how innovative Neal is.
Favorite con was when Neal forged the portrait of the granddaughter of the original artist. Showing other tangible talents Neal possesses makes him even more likable!!
My favorite con is the one when they con the corrupt Marshal and the lawyer. Especially since I loved watching Peter steal such a nice car. That Marshal deserved it for shooting at such a nice car too, shameful behavior, all in all, it was great how they turned them on each-other.
I loved the kidnapping episode, so I think my favorite con is the one Neal pulled on his kidnapper when he went into the travel agency. It got Mozzie a message without anyone suspecting a thing.
My favorite con is when Neal replicates the painting. He’s a known forger, so to get to see more of how he got away with the things he did on a regular basis is really interesting.
It doesn’t really hurt that he apparently likes to paint shirtless. Gotta be honest. 😉
My favorite con was during the season 2 episode, In the Red, when Neal had get involved in that gambling ring and the head guy, Taz, ends up helping Peter and Neal get Donovan to admit to being involved in an adoption money extortion scam. It was cool how the writers had a con lead into another con.
I’ve enjoyed the series, but particularly enjoyed Bottlenecked. The thought process that went into that con intrigued me. Plus, I’m a bit of a collector of antique bottles, so was enjoying the premise of the storyline on mutiple layers. Great show! Looking forward to the next season.
My favorite con is definitely the long con from Vital Signs when they trick the doctor into thinking is liver is failing. It’s my favorite because everybody is so delightfully devious about it, and I love it when Peter gets to play on the grayer, Caffrey-side of the law.
There’s so many cons to love, but my favorite has always been the one where Neal and Peter both go undercover in the organ donor ring. It was nice to see how Peter dealt with being undercover and having to “seduce” someone. El’s reaction to his flirting was hilarious as well. It also had several nice moments between Peter and Neal and showed how well they worked together. The bit at the end where they conned corrupt doctor into thinking he had left the country got me as well. I honestly thought they’d left the US! It was just a sweet episode while also being funny and interesting. Besides- having Neal sing and admit to Peter that he was the only one he trusted? Awesome.
Seasons 2 episode 4 “By the book” was great! Maybe the con wasnt the greatest but whole “perfect exchange” and Mozzie having big role was much fun
One of my favorites is “Need To Know” When Neal is undercovered working with the corrupt politician and he has to act like he smokes.
Favorite con is definitely Neal’s escape from prison in the pilot. It was so clever, believable, and instantly sold me on the show!
my favorite con was Neal’s prison break because he pulled it off smooooooooooooothly. the best part he had almost no resources to pull it off thus proving that he it the greatest con man ever.
my favorite would probably be the one with the criminology class
My favorite con was in “Out Of the Box” because I love it when we get to see Neal work his magic.
my favorite cons are
Prisoners Dilemma, having Neal understand without much explanation what the plan is &
Copycat Caffrey for the use of Alex &
Withdrawl – the “conversation” in the bank vault
Honorable mention to the phone call selling Peter the bonds in Hard Sell
The episode with the forged bonds was great. Seeing Peter squirm a little with the pastor was great.
So many good cons, but I do love “The Portrait.” The forged painting with the message on the back. It was a sweet, understated con, done for entirely altruistic purposes, and Peter never knew exactly what Neal was up to. Love that whole episode for its excellent character development. This show is so much fun – glitz, humor, satisfying episodes with a not -too-overwhelming mythology. Thanks, USA!
I love Neal’s fake bank heist in Withdrawal! Played to the last moment to look like Neal is getting ready to flee the country.
I love the show, I love how Neal and Mozzy and Peter have this love/hate/trust/mis-trust bond. Great writing and acting!
My favorite Con is Copycat Caffrey. I love how smart Neal is when figuring out that it was the professor.
I have to say that my favorite con was Prisoner’s Dilemma, particullary when Neal was able to help Peter steal the Lamborghini.
I like the copycat Caffery one where he goes undercover to catch the teacher and college student team off thieves Very interesting episode 🙂
Neal conning the politician was epic. I loved it! It was the perfect blend of vengeance and useful outcome.
I really love the Pilot when Neal breaks out of prison. It really hooked me on the show.
This was hard I love them all. The pilot with Neal getting out of prison was great!
Loved the episode where someone was copying Neil’s past capers.
Even though I LOVE ever single one, I think my favorite would have to be when Neal takes the polygraph test that Sara brings in because he is able to pass the test without giving himself away to Sara.
My favorite con by far was in the episode “Home Invasion”. I’m a collector of statues and trinkets, and my obsession with elephants has led me to acquire quite a few priceless elephant sculptures. So, I think this con was my favorite, because I could relate to it. Every episode of White Collar has been amazing and well-written, but it was because of Pierce’s con that I began to watch the show.
White Collar is my favorite show. It is well-written, has amazing actors, and is simply fun to watch. I can’t wait till it starts back up on Tuesday!
my fav con was when neal stole the mus box and then alex got it from him! it takes a helluva woman to outwit neal!
My favorite White Collar con was from Free Fall – just the setup of the whole escape thing was amazing (plus the fact that they remembered the whole “Neal owns a bakery now” bit in later episodes!)
I really loved the statue come Trojan Horse, Neal created in episode 1.14, “Out of the Box,” but my favorite Neal con has to be when he blackmailed the museum curator into leaving the painting ‘Young Girl with Locket’ with it’s rightful owner, in episode 1.5, “The Portrait.” My favorite non-Neal con is when he creates the perfect copy of a rare bottle of wine, only to fail when it’s discovered his competition has the real thing.
My favorite White Collar Con was from Point Blank. The whole thing was just evidence of how skilled Neal is independently, and that he doesn’t really need much help to succeed in pulling off a good con.
Hard Sell, when it starts to get complicated in Neal pretending to be the corporate spy and setting the two partners against each other.
My favorite con was the one with the bank, the first episode of season 2. I love the first part after the credits where you aren’t sure if Neal is robbing the bank or doing something for Peter.
How can I pick a favorite?Iloved all of them!I guess Point Blank-I hope Mozzie isn’t dead!
Enjoyed all episodes and especially enjoyed “Need to Know” which gives me an insight on the evil machinations some of the politicos use. Loved Neil being so convincing in his putting forth the suggestion of the childrens play park. Also loved Mossie, being so civic minded as to support the children’s play park! Just goes to show that “people will believe anything” if it is presented right. I believe this show is a #1 winner for sure!
My favorite con was “In the Red”. Neal conning John Larroquette was priceless. I loves the part where Neal is faking being beat up to make the guy talk.
My favorite con is the one from the episode “Bottlenecked” where Neal is challenged by an old foe to forge a bottle of wine that Ben Franklin owned (i believe). I love this con because the old foe who challenged Neal actually had the real bottle! Yes, a con gets pulled on Neal, but it doesn’t make it any less clever. The old foe, whose name escapes me, was really clever in his con devised to raise more hype about this bottle, and get a higer price for it – even though he gets caught and doesn’t get any money for his bottle.
My favorite White Collar con occurs in “Withdrawal” during the scene in which Peter and Neal are investigating deposit box #213 in order to force a confession from Renee.
The dialogue in the entire scene (and in the entire episode, for that matter) is well-written, as always, but Peter and Neal’s “argument” is simply awesome. The fact that Peter and Neal can wordlessly and so effortlessly communicate a message (or a con, in this case) in the face of danger – just as they did in “Hard Sell” – is remarkable.
Their “fight” is filled with the sharp, witty banter we’ve come to expect and love from this dynamic duo: “Novel? You can barely write a parking ticket!” Even more amazing is how seamlessly they work together. In this one staged conversation, Peter and Neal (really, Tim and Matt) prove to the audience, once again, that they are the best partnership on TV.
And, of course, they put on such a good front that Renee becomes distracted enough to fall victim to the dye packs in Neal’s hands. This scene showcases just how effective Peter and Neal are as a team. Good cop, good consultant.
Cheers to January 18!
My all-time favorite White Collar con was the scene where Peter goes undercover as a chiropractor.I loved Elizabeth’s reaction to the “magic fingers” line!
My favorite con is the fact that the writers make it look so easy to commit the crimes, that in itself is a Con. Beside that the show is awesome. Keep up the good work.
So White Collar has so many good cons! There are going to be so many good ones in Season Two & all the seasons to come, and this was so hard to choose, but I absolutely loved the con was in Bottlenecked. Not only was the chemistry with Peter, Alex & Neal great in that episode, I just loved seeing that professor & those kids fooled! Especially when Peter had to talk about cutting off the professor’s hands! So brilliant & funny! I love all the cons in this show so much & I can’t wait to see more from season 2.5 & onwards!
Prisoner’s Dilemma where Peter states he would never go on the run and then finds himself on the run and Mozzi has to do the date night with Elizabeth.
I wouldn’t say it’s a “con” per se but any time Peter is ‘not so truthful’ with his wife and ends up stumbling over himself.
Tied, however, with “The Portrait” where Neal makes sure the rightful owner gets what she deserves.
My favorite is a tie between three:the one in the bank where Nieal and Peter are arguing and end up beating the woman with the gun by trowing the markers at her. Another one is the episode where Neil infultrates the fake stock brokers and ends up in the security room with the oxygen deprived air. My third is the one where Peter is on the run and turns to Mozzie for help, and Mozzie takes him to “thursday” (his hideout with the zen garden and the dojo).
Love them all, hard to pick but either the first pilot or Out of the Box – showing Neals talents, skill and good looks
My favorite con is where Peter is suspended & hides out in Mozzies’ apartment. I love Mozzie!!
“Prisoner’s Dilemma” is by far my favorite episode so far. Maybe it’s because it involved the framing of former FBI agent Franklin, or maybe it was the dualing Criminal Informants that I loved. Either way, Neal and Peter showed they can’t be beat and the best team came out on top. Who doesn’t love a happy White Collar ending? 🙂
ONE of my (many) favorite cons is when Neal poses as a car salesman, seemingly just for fun, and sells the super expensive bright yellow sports car to the unlikely-looking guy that nobody else in the place has ever paid any attention to…then caps it off by conning an actual salesman into getting him into Rebecca’s computer. One of the best team-cons concludes “Prisoner’s Dilemma” when just about everyone helps to con US Marshall Deckard into showing his guilt. [geat Mozzie bits in this episode too…with Jack and Peter in his tuesday safehouse/zendo “thursday,” and with Elizabeth when he divulges his own safe “word,” bread basket.] [such delightfully kooky, amazingly intelligent and deeply caring characters; and such fine script-writing throughout the entire series!!]
My favorite White Collar con is the Zig-Zag Scam they pull on Edward Riley where they pretend to be U.S Customs agents.
I was hooked from the begining..the 1st is the best. When he pulls his cons and the look on Peter’s face is priceless. Oh, but I have to give the props to the writers for the meeting between Kate and Peter…didnt see that one coming. This show is great. Keep up the good work.
The political con. Mozzie votes, more often than you think! Love how Neal exposes just how politics works in the media age.
Season 2 Prisoners Dilemma: Neal on the other side of a manhunt, the CI-off, Peter Burke being on the run while trying to catch a crooked US Marshal, Mozzie as the “Miniature Caffrey” working with Peter on a government-sanctioned con to catch the bad guys. Nothing NOT to like about this con.
I really liked Hard Sell
Prisoners Dilemma has to be the best con
My favorite is Copycat Caffrey, when Neal’s techniques are being used in a class and he has to out smart them.
My favorite was Vital Signs. He made a very convincing doctor trying to help expose the scam going on.
My favorite con will probably always be Neal’s escape from prison in the pilot episode. I fell in love with his character in those first ten minutes!
It’s so hard to choose. The pilot was wonderful, showcasing
Neal’s creativity and Peter’s brilliant detective work. The one where Neal flashes his toy sheriff’s badge. The one where he buys a bakery just so he can dive out a window onto the awning below. The ones where Peter and Elizabeth demonstrate their great marriage, which is all of them. The one where Diana comes back (“don’t ask don’t care”! Yay!).
But I guess I’d have to go with “Hard Sell” where Peter is faced with the life he might have had, also because of the honesty between Peter and Neal at the end.
prisoners dilemma… it was so funny!!!
My favorite con was from the episode Out of the Box. Neal is genius in the way he got down to the basement in order to bypass security and then uses the statue that he built and hid tools in to get the music box out of the safe and Alex seems that she is going to steal it from him but ends up giving it back to him. Overall one of my favorite cons because of the smoothness of the infiltration and taking of the music box.
My favorite episode has gotta be prisoners dilemma. Just brilliant script writing and execution!
I love when Mozzie and Diana worked together…well sort of. lol. They were so cute. So pretty much any con involving the music box. They were all epic! 🙂
My favorite con is from the episode “Hard Sell.” The whole episode reminds me of Bolier Room which is one of my favorite movies. I enjoy Peter playing the bad guy. I especially love this episode because it is a turning point in Peter and Neal’s relationship when Peter tells Neal what Kate said. The show is all aorund sexy and fun. It is something different on T.V. and I cannot wait for the season premiere:)
Out of the BOx had my fave con! Neal was so smooth in it.
My favorite White Collar con is in the episode Free Fall when Neal asks the judge to hold a private meeting between the two of them in order for Neal to confess to the jewelry heist. I love how Neal handles everything. Like how he bought the bakery right under the judge’s chambers, got the judge to clear the chambers for his confession, broke the AC so a window would get opened, and how he hired a driver of a van with a removable floor panel over the internet to park right outside of where he jumped. This con proves how the smallest details can make the biggest difference!
My favorite con is the one from “Bottlenecked”. It was amazing how Neal and Mozzie managed to make a very similar Franklin wine bottle. But in the end they lost because Keller got the real bottle. Nice plot, nice con.
This is comparable to choosing between, Ghirardelli, Godiva and Lindt as which is the best chocolate. I loved every episode of White Collar. I have to say favorite was Front Man, when the daughter of the subject of one of Neal’s former cons was kidnapped by ANOTHER subject of one of Neal’s former cons. This episode is non-stop from beginning to end, and also it contains some of the best lines of the series.
I really enjoy White Collar so having to narrow down the episodes is hard but I enjoyed the Prisoner’s Dilemma and Need to Now episodes the best.
I can’t wait for season 2.5 to begin to see what happens next.
I liked how in “Withdrawal” they made you think Neal was going bad again and actually trying to rob the bank when he was really just undercover and rather helping out instead!
I really liked Neal’s con in The Portait
I love the challenge between Neal and Keller to forge the Franklin bottle in “Bottlenecked.” Love watching what Neal and Mozzie can accomplish together, and they even managed to get Peter to go along with the forgery!
I love all of the 26 episodes of #WHITECOLLAR shown so far and am so excited about the S2.5 continuation tonight with BURKE’S 7.
I love all of the cons and think the writing on this show is absolutely briliant. Jeff Eastin and his team of writers have never disappointed and have given us history, drama, comedy and mystery. Our actors protray whatever Jeff writes down with perfection. We could not ask for a better team.
My favorite started off in the Pilot when Neal managed to sneak out of the supermax and Peter went through all the ways telling us how he did it. How cool is Neal to just walk out the front door of a SuperMax prison? I knew from the first couple of moments of the show that this was not going to be an ordinary show.
He used the Warden’s American Express to buy a uniform – that is classic Neal. They gave him a tape player and he used the tape – Burke says you should have given him a CD player.
When Peter finds Neal, who has been in prison almost 4 years can still identify the filament to the new Canadian $100. He still is incredibly intelligent when it comes to criminal elements.
He uses that info to get a mtg with Spec. Agt. Burke who takes Neal up on his idea to take Neal out of prison and let Neal help him catch the Dutchman and other White Collar criminals under Peter’s supervision.
They all just got better from there.
The best con was when mozzy was telling peter what to say to the professor during season 2 episode 3.
What happened was hilarious. absolutely hilarious.
I SAID CUT OFF HIS HANDS. CUT OFF HIS HANDS!
lol.
That was the one i remember the most and my best remebered one thus far.
All the episodes were great, but my favorite episode was the pilot. It played just like a movie and got me hooked on the show. Watching Peter’s break out was brilliant.
The best con was the when the gang caught John Larroquette and his adoption scam. It’s good to see him back on TV and I love seeing Marsha Thomason on TV, even though she’s on other shows I watch, I like seeing her in a fast paced show like Las Vegas.
The Burke’s Seven Con was the best, because Peter showed he’s got the skills to be a conman (even though he insisted it was a “sting” and not a “con.” 🙂
Hi,
my favorite con was the company man, because they show skills, also because Peter preffer his life and not to be a billionaire and the real friendship between Neal and Peter when Neal save Peter’s life.
PS: Sorry about my english I’m Latino and don’t know how to speack very well in english
I enjoyed the Boiler Room like stock con.
I liked when Neal taught a college class. It was really funny!

My favorite con is the Pink Diamond because everyone was pointing the finger at Neal, and he manages (amazingly) to pull off a con where he is free…and he doesn’t leave, he goes to Peter to clear his name!
Oh, it’s hard to pick just ONE con because there have been so many good ones. But I think I’d have to go with Neal’s elaborate escape in “Free Fall” since that ep also contains one of my absolute favorite scenes between Peter and Neal. Neal showing up at Peter’s house after becoming a fugitive, and begging for one minute to tell his side of the story, was great – and Peter agreeing was even better 🙂
My favorite con was the one in “Bottlenecked”, because of all the intricacies that went into forging the bottle.
I have to say that I looooved Burke’s Seven. It was a great way to also start off the new year 🙂
my fav con was not one aired but mentioned. Neal stole a painting but before stealing it he sold forgery’s of the painting to other countries and the original never left. Based off of a con done by Eduardo de Valfierno on august 21, 1911 with the Mona Lisa. Goes to show that sometimes the theft isn’t what counts its the con that leads up to it.
I liked the con involving the wine bottle.
