Honestly…

… I've largely managed to hc and work through my White Collar S5 issues (by never watching them again).

And I absolutely believe that the whole bit at the end is the Neal way of saying 'do you forgive me?'

He reveals to the two people closest to him that it was a con, and how he did it, and a hint to where he is. Esp if you take away all the weird characterisation in S5/give it better motivation, it's, imo, very clear that this isn't just Neal going back to square one. This is his way of leaving the door open. There's no summons, no requirement to come. Just a hint, making it their decision if they want to bother.

Mozzie clearly did, and I am a million percent sure that familiar proud dad smile of Peter's means he does, too.

#White Collar #you gotta know Peter's gonna go 4-0 #he's bringing his boy home #I don't think Neal's the type to 'settle down' not in the way it's usually meant #but I think he learned better empathy and maturity and awareness during his time #he means it when he calls the Burkes his family #he fakes his death to protect them and Mozzie and all his other friends #but then he's careful to leave a door open #'do you forgive me for putting you through that'#I think that you can take the ultimate result as Peter taught him to be better #and he helped Peter be less of a absolute line of the law man #if they go at it again they'll be better than ever #I def think Peter's smile and taking the card are clear signals he's going to say yes #probably won't be able to get there right away he's got another son to think about as well #but he's gonna reach out #he's going to find his boy and he's gonna get him home #I'm betting he'll let him travel again after but I think he'll reconnect #and I love Matt and Tim for this #Adopt a Felon 101 #speaking of have they said if it's a full REmake or a sequel?
