Despite their bitter row over Sam Phelps, Neal accepts to keep collaborating professionally with Peter, even appearing together as 'model team' agent-informer at agent Walt Furlong's international law enforcement convention. Together, they counter Ted Anderson's presumed evil plans at Dr. Drugov's presentation of a revolutionary new bullet proof vest. While Mozzie helps Neal contacting Sam again, Burke's men discover he stole that identity or as Neal presumes staged his death, but a killer is also on Phelp's trail.

Neal and Peter investigate Senator Pratt's involvement with corrupt cops, which leads to a real estate developer running a kickback scheme.
