When Neal delivers a Christmas present to Peter's desk without anyone ever seeing him, Peter expects something--revealing. Instead it's a blue silk tie with no commentary other than a left-handed scrawl on the return receipt, In case you're hopelessly beyond recognizing good taste. For a minute Peter thinks the return receipt is the real present, a clue, but, as it so happens, Caffrey paid with Reese Hughes's wife's credit card. The charges are eventually reversed, but Hughes tells Peter to keep the tie as evidence.
