'White Collar' Season 6 Spoilers: Should Matt Bomer's Neal Caffrey Have Done "Right Thing" In Series Finale?

The season 6 countdown of White Collar ended with the series finale on USA Network. After the end credits aired, audiences want to know if Peter Burke (Tim DeKay) and Neal Caffrey (Matt Bomer) had an alternate ending, where the chase depended "on doing the right thing?"

As we mentioned here, the sixth season began with Peter (DeKay) and Neal (Bomer) teaming together to infiltrate the crime syndicate known as the Pink Panthers. As the story arc continues, Matthew Keller (Ross McCall) warns Neal that even if they incarcerate the Pink Panthers, they are still wanted men. Behind bars, the Pink Panthers will hunt them down until they are dead.

In our series finale recap, Peter brought down the entire Pink Panthers organization, with the help of Diana (Marsha Thomason) and Jones (Sharif Atkins). Peter couldn't save Neal though when Keller fired a gun at him. As Neal lied on the floor caked in blood, Peter faced Keller in a deadly standoff and shot Elizabeth's kidnapper in the head.

A year has now passed, with Peter still mourning over the loss of his friend, until a special gift arrived at his doorstep. Putting the clues together, Peter discovered Neal had faked his own death. In the open-ending, Peter knows his best friend is still alive, but will he visit Neal in Paris, to stop him from planning a heist at the Louvre Museum?

In an interview with TV Line, creator/showrunner Jeff Eastin teased his main stars had a different ending in mind. In his cited ending to the USA executives, Neal walks up to the Flatiron building in New York and decides his fate with a coin toss.

In one version, the coin lands heads, Neal gets in a limo with Mozzie and they both become the greatest criminals ever. In the second version, Neal tosses the coin and lands on tails.A few years later, Neal has taken over Peter's job as head of the White Collar Crime division. Neal would have tossed the coin for a third time, and just before it lands, the scene cuts to black.

Eastin then changed his mind when both DeKay and Bomer pitched a different ending to him, "And it was nice because the series as a whole has been a collaborative effort between me, Tim and Matt. Ultimately, I think to end it that way was really the right thing to do."
