With the commutation hearing only a week away, the arrival of legendary con man Gordon Taylor stirs up fresh doubt about Neal's judgment. It seems that Taylor is in town on a contract job to hit Yankee stadium, and the renowned thief is considering Neal as a possible point man. Normally, Peter would jump at the chance to have a man inside, but Neal's excitement at the prospect of working with Taylor has the anxious agent contemplating whether his longtime CI is really ready to choose between his past and his future.

Of course, Peter isn't the only one dwelling on priorities. With Agent Kramer asking questions around the office, both Diana and Jones are considering just where, exactly, their loyalties lie, especially when it appears that Kramer may be keeping things from Peter. At the same time, talk of the upcoming hearing spurs Sara to assess what lies ahead for she and Neal.

Meanwhile, Neal aces his audition with Taylor, but when Taylor's precautions knock out Neal's line of communication, Peter worries that Neal may not hold up his end of their partnership. Little does he realize that Neal may be the only thing stopping the job from becoming a bloodbath...
