Picking up where last week left off, White Collar Season 6 Episode 3 saw Neal meet with the Pink Panthers, only to find that Keller is the only one there.

He tells Neal they will be working together on this heist.

If you watch White Collar online, you know this means higher stakes, and when Neal makes the meet, Peter and Diana feel that Keller must have a handler.

Whether they can find out who it is? Another matter.

Keller tells Neal that they must infiltrate Atlas Tech, and wants to use Amy Harris, Executive Assistant to the CEO at the company, to pull off the job.

Neal is apprehensive, but has a narrow window.

He comes up with the plan to have Keller wrongly hit on the single girl, giving Neal the opening to swoop in and gain Amy's trust - and the access he needs.

Meanwhile Peter IDs and meets Keller’s handler.

Bonding over motherhood, El worries to Diana about Peter and his demanding job. Diana assures her that she has the best kind of partner in Peter.

As Neal and Keller continue their high-wire act con, Mozzie is trying to get into the server room, only to find technology that could be described as archaic.

A floppy disk? Seriously?!

Basically, they have to steal the original, find a way to download it, then put it back. All of which necessitates that Neal will have to use Amy even more.

After an elaborate ploy to do just that, the boss comes back and realizes something is amiss, and Amy unwittingly and cluelessly ends up in the hot seat.

Things are further complicated when Peter leaves Luke alone with the assets, and Luke bails in an attempt to gain upper hand, slipping the disk to Keller.

Keller sells out Neal, who is forced to use Amy yet again, to her chagrin. She then quits and decides to move back to Iowa, disgusted and jaded with life.

And that disk? An algorithm which randomly assigns airports, flights and airlines and another set of numbers that may all relate to transporting items.

The plot thickens ...
