Fun episode. But you could see the twist coming from a mile away.
The final scene was pretty stupid. They kept showing commercials for the next season. What was the point?
Hope we see more Kari Matchett next season. I always liked her.

Yeah the 'twist' was a bit telegraphed; but I really liked the show. I liked how they didn't do some stupid cliffhanger as a lead in to the next season. I think the final scene was just a bit of symmetry (or anti-symmetry?) from the first show; they've used that overhead shot a few times now... I have to think they weren't trying to fool people.
I'm starting to like the blond in the show now - her character initially seemed rather bland but I thought she was pretty funny (in a dry sense) in this show - the smelling of the ex-wife, her howl after the comment about being bad in bed, the 'we'll see how hard you look' line at the end. She still reminds me a bit of Turturo (sp?) in Mr Deeds where he occasionally pops up out of nowhere and is 'verrry, verry sneeeky'
I was surprised to see that the ads were saying it would be back in the summer... won't be such a long wait.

I thought it was OK, but a bit anti-climatic after last week. There wasn't a whole lot of action and I don't think the show works as well when they keep the audience in the dark. The whole point is to watch them plan and execute their schemes. Keeping a detail or two back so they can have a little twist at the end is fine, but I felt like an outsider for this whole ep.
Last weeks ep would have made a much better season finale.

it is coming back rather quickly. TNT must have really liked what they saw and picked up the option while they were still filming, in the hopes it would be a hit. It was and they gambled correctly.

I expect a Michael Weston cameo in the next season.. going up against Prescott and Jason Bly.
I'm wondering which character will need help that brings everyone back together next season. Also, since Nate knows about Sophie's hidden stash of stolen art, will that pose a problem since they are supposed to be on the straight and narrow?
