If white collar was made today there would be an episode that begins with neal complaining about some generic ugly ai art that the fbi installed in the lobby of their building. Peter agrees that it's ugly but tells him they can't do anything about it. Fastforward to the case where the victim is a world famous artist whose masterpiece estimated to be worth millions has been stolen. Neal must paint an identical one to install in a reputed museum, in order to force the thief's hand to sell it quickly and expose theirs as the real one. The painting is one of two lovers, silhouttes where one is turned away from the other who is stretching his hand out to him against a starry background. The thief turns out to be the artist's muse whom he abused for years, saying that his motive was to at least get some money to get compensate for the years of pain. Theres a nice gratifying scene of him punching the guy, with Neal and Peter serendipitously turning their heads from it. "He took a fall when he was being cuffed". Later we cut to Neal walking into the building the next day. His forgery is on display and the ai art is gone. Peter gives him a knowing look, as though he knows the painting mirrors them in some way. Neal knows he knows. They have gay sex in the lobby— *gets shot*
