The white collar ending twist
Neil Caffrey has one last con
A year after Neil’s supposed death, Peter and his wife, Elizabeth (Tiffany-Amber Thiessen), look for their son, aptly named Neil. Peter has caught Mozzie (Willie Garson) – Neil’s right-hand man who is back on the streets of New York scamming people with his card games. The meeting made Peter suspicious about the death of their fallen friend, prompting him to visit Neil’s storage locker.
When he discovered the collusion he used to pull off his escape scheme, he realized he had been effectively conned by his former informant. Neil worked out another plan with several crisis actors, such as the EMT who attended to him and the hospital doctor who confirmed his death. to keep it all, Neil faked his death by taking medication to slow his heartbeat just enough to make sure all his bases were covered..
In the actual end of White collarNeil was seen strolling the streets of Paris, France, implying that he is ready for a new job, this time in Europe. This is supported by the newspaper headline Peter saw in his storage unit about the Louvre getting additional security. Chances are that Neil has studied the ins and outs of the world-famous museum in the hopes of scoring one of its valuable displays.
Instead of feeling betrayed or motivated to go after Neil again, Peter just lets out a smile. While he always suspected that Neil would become a criminal again after his release, Neil had managed to do a lot of good leading up to this point. Peter, it is implied, is simply glad that his former partner is alive and well, despite the fact that he is once again possibly up to no good..
The White collar The ending confirms that, despite Neil spending years leading a mostly straight life in New York as Peter’s criminal informant, deep down, he will always want to live an exciting, if sometimes dangerous, life. His illegal endeavors don’t seem to have anything to do with money anymore – he just likes the thrill of pulling off elaborate schemes. With Europe having a richer art scene, Neil has a wide variety of future prospects – it wouldn’t be surprising if he went from one country to another pulling off various heists.
A white collar revival could change Neil’s fate
It might also explain Neal leaving in the first place Whatever brings Neil and Peter back into each other’s lives in the revival must be great.
A White collar A revival is on the way with original show creator Jeff Eastin penning the scripts. Original cast members Matt Bomer, Tim DeKay and Tiffani Thiessen are confirmed to reprise their roles as Neil, Peter and Elizabeth respectively. Because the original series saw Neal fake his death and escape to a new country though, the revival series has a chance to change his fate.
This is not to say that the revival series will kill Neal for good, but it could give the audience the reasoning behind Neal’s decision to fake his death and leave his friends behind and see him come clean about his decision. While he had schemed to get away from the ever-watching eye of his FBI colleagues in the past, he regretted leaving them and actually formed friendships with those he worked with, especially Peter.
Neil’s decision to fake his death and leave the life he built behind seems both perfectly in character for the con man who craves adventure, but also completely out of character for the man who values ​​his friendships so fiercely. Did he leave simply because he got tired of working at the FBI or because he was ready to move on to a new adventure? And just who helped attract him? These are questions that the revival series can answer for long-time fans of the show.
After all, Neal leaves Peter, Elizabeth, and seemingly even Mozzie in the dark about deciding to fake his death. Mozzie is the one person he usually leaves in his schemes, and with actor Willie Garson passing away in 2021, the revival won’t be able to include Mozzie directly, but can explain just how much he knew about Neal’s plan, if anything.
Whatever brings Neil and Peter back into each other’s lives in the revival must be great. The White collar Revival will have to give Neil and Peter, as well as the audience, some sort of closure about him faking his death before it can really delve into the new story.
