Haha, yeah, the shipper in me has always thought it was everything vs. a future with Peter. Neal's past vs Peter, Neal's criminal instinct vs. future with Peter, Neal's future with Mozz vs. future with Peter, Neal's father vs. the family that Peter (and El) are providing... and all the time Peter has to change too, has to become ~more~. More trusting, more suspicious, more cunning, more rule-bendy... It's been a fun adventure.

Other times I see Mozzie as the devil on one shoulder and Peter the angel on the other. :))) The hard part for me is, I want Neal to have them both. I want Peter to be okay with Neal having them both, with being a con AND a man.

I haven't given any thought to the new handler. I think I get myself in trouble lately by thinking everything means something and then being disappointed when it doesn't. So this time I'm going to think it's nothing and be pleasantly surprised. Hopefully.
