It is revealed towards the end of the episode that Selena and the bachelor auction host were in on the scam together.

She even continues to go along with it when Agent Burke gets engaged to Selena and poses as an event planner for the wedding. It was also nice to see Elizabeth be so calm about her husband going out on a date with another woman. I laughed to myself when Mozzie came back with the completed drawing and told Agent Burke that he needs cash for the dry cleaner. I can sort of draw, but not as well as Neal. I’m also a bit jealous of Neal’s artistic abilities. I also applaud the quick-sketch scene where Selena asks Agent Burke to draw her, and the latter gets Neal to do said drawing while the ex-con artist hides in the closet. Thank goodness for Agent Burke’s quick-thinking, as he greets Mozzie with his alias Haversham and tells Selena that Mozzie is the one who put everything together for the night. The scene where Mozzie comes in almost gave me a heart attack as he didn’t know about the goings on of the case. Relief washed over me when Neal finally got the chance to check his phone and was able to sneak away in time to a hidden room in his closet before Agent Burke and Selena arrived. I was holding my breath when Neal was busy talking to Sara while his phone was buzzing away in a bowl. The other close call is when Agent Burke takes Selena to Neal’s apartment, when she suggests that they go to back to his place for the evening. If it wasn’t for Neal calling him at the last minute, pretending to be someone from Hamilton Mill, it might have been the end for our Agent Burke. There are a couple of close calls for Agent Burke as he tries to plant a bug in Selena’s apartment. Agent Burke gets the highest bid from Selena herself, and the courtship begins. Agent Burke tries his best to appear suave and normal, but he doesn’t make that much of an impression on the ladies until he gets to Selena, of course, since she’s the target.Īt the end of the auction, Jones is auctioned off pretty quickly, and Neal doesn’t get a single bid, so Diana decides to help him save face by bidding on him. Jones makes a decent impression while Neal bombs every meeting (on purpose) with all the women except for Selena. Agent Burke, Jones, and Neal go undercover as potential wealthy bachelors to be auctioned off to wealthy single ladies.

Now, she is on the hunt, so to speak, for the next unfortunate soul. Her name is Selena Thomas, a devoted serial monogamist who dates and marries wealthy men and then kills them in order to take their money. However, this particular Black Widow got the killing part down in this episode of White Collar. We are on the hunt for a Black Widow, no, not the character that Scarlett Johansson portrays in The Avengers movies and no, it has nothing to do with the poisonous spider who kills and devours her mate.
