Ep 1. Withdrawal

In the season 2 premiere of White Collar, titled "Withdrawal," viewers are re-introduced to the dynamic duo of FBI agent Peter Burke and former con artist Neal Caffrey. This time around, the two are on the hunt for a stolen stash of valuable Nazi treasure that has mysteriously disappeared.

As the episode begins, Neal is shown living the high life in a fancy hotel room, complete with expensive champagne and a beautiful woman by his side. He seems to be living the dream as a free man after striking a deal with Peter at the end of season 1. However, it's soon revealed that Neal is actually getting antsy without any cases to work on, as well as missing his old ties to the criminal world.

Meanwhile, Peter is doing his best to adjust to life as a new father, but he too finds himself itching to get back to work and away from the monotony of changing diapers and burping his infant son. His chance comes when a lead surfaces regarding the stolen Nazi treasure, and he immediately brings Neal back into the fold to help solve the case.

The two men begin to follow a trail of clues, which leads them to a seedy nightclub and eventually to a pair of Russian mobsters. Along the way, Neal struggles with a temptation to indulge in his old criminal ways, particularly when he comes across a woman with possible ties to the treasure who is willing to trade insider information for his help with a job. This puts Peter in a difficult position, as he must decide whether to trust Neal or to keep him on a tighter leash.

The result is a tense and exciting episode that sets the stage for a season full of twists and turns. With the introduction of new characters and enemies, as well as the return of some familiar faces, "Withdrawal" promises to be a wild ride for fans of the show.
