TV shows should learn it's okay to lean into stuff that people like. I thought the fake out was fine. It gives Perry a chance to grow into the lawyer that can crack the real criminals on the stand and honestly would have been stretching things if he went from quasi-bum private eye to top flight lawyer over the course of 3 months or so. It also sets up a nice scene in the future when Burger is DA and Mason gets to the real perp on the stand while he’s the prosecutor.

For what it’s worth, I think the show is laying a misdirect here since we don’t actually see Pete involved in the break-in. Milligan does his whole “you don’t want Mason thinking he’s smarter than you” routine right before it happens, but they pointedly don’t show who is actually picking the lock on the door to the office - you just get the silhouette of an arm backlit against the glass. It also doesn’t make sense in my mind for him to break in if Perry told him about it drunkenly off screen at the track. You could try to play it as him wanting to confirm it’s there before they bring it up in court and take the field trip, but with all of the glimpses of the team being followed I think it’s more likely that someone employed by McCutcheon is behind it. e: Pete also beat his fingers all to hell trying to pop the chain on the door to his apartment and they make a point of showing that as he’s talking with Milligan. Does that mean he wouldn’t be able to pick a lock or crack a safe? That may be a stretch but those two scenes are there for a reason.
