Bless you, show, for finally giving Kate some scenes.

Granted, I wish there's been more that wasn't from Neal's POV, but it was his narration. Of note:

1. I'm glad that, regardless of what she was up to in season 1/is up to now (I stand by my theory that she is still alive, and is somehow trying to protect Neal, or was until someone removed her from the playing field, and am sticking with that until proven otherwise) her feelings for Neal seem to have been genuine when they were together.
2. I'm very glad that she left Neal when he tried to con her after they were partners. Apparently she didn't when she learned about the Adler con (and I wish we'd seen some more of the fallout from that) but that was probably a "never rty it again" thing.
3. I like that it was Diana's idea to use Kate to get Neal, though this doesn't seem to suit her apparently newly-minted status from the Pilot.

Also, Peter, that sucker is four years old. Forget symbolism and consider that!

Anyway, I've coming to the conclusion that the real reason we don't get Kate scenes is that the combination of Matt Bomer and Alexandria Daddario is blindingly pretty. Like, they're both exceptionally "too good to be true" pretty in a generically perfect way? But combined, they're practically blinding.
