White Collar Review: The Swap

This week, in a Diana-centric episode, badass Agent Berrigan goes undercover to protect a well-known magazine journalist. But first, Peter gives Diana the task of translating the original manifest from the u-boat for Agent Matthews before she departs for DC. Neal observes the encounter and texts Mozzie, “the swap is on.”

But their con to swap briefcases for the one with the manifest is thwarted as Diana meets up with her girlfriend, Christie ( Moran Atias ). Yes, we finally get to meet Christie! Neal covers by setting up a double date with Sara plus Christie and Diana.

Peter meets with Jones and explains that the life of well-known executive editor of Circumspect magazine, Helen Anderson, has been threatened and that he wants to assign him as her protective detail. However, Helen is less than cooperative and refuses FBI protection. She is furious with her assistant who alerted their boss to the threats and fires her. This gives Peter an in to place Diana undercover as Helen’s new assistant/bodyguard while they investigate the threats. Peter warns Diana that Helen is intense…as Jones puts it, “she puts the hell in Helen.” To protect Helen, Diana can’t get fired and should speak in a British accent because Helen has “a soft spot for Manchester.” Way to go Marsha Thomason for speaking two accents in the episode!

To become Helen’s assistant, Diana must win her over in an interview. It isn’t going well as Helen tells her she “is overqualified and too old” but Diana is finally able to convince Helen to hire her.

Meanwhile, Peter has a lead—the name of a pharmaceutical company, Prager & Vaughn. They suspect the new head of product development, Paul Sullivan, and that perhaps there is a problem with a new product. Neal and Peter pretend to be FDA officials and do some snooping at the company, where Neal catches an assistant hiding a piece of paper in her office. With Jones’ help, Neal is able to get the redacted paper and uses his “special touch” to split it into two. His piece looks blank but with some fingerprint powder, they are able to read it, which is about a drug called Zybax.
