The end of "White Collar" hinted at a new beginning. Neil Caffrey pulled off his last, greatest con, making everyone believe, including Peter Burke, that he is dead. It is after a year that Peter discovered that Neal faked his own death and snatched his freedom. For Peter, it was the beginning of another, exciting chase while Neal was in Paris to rob something priceless from Louvre Museum. And, Mozzie was on his way to meet Neal. Tim DeKay, who plays Peter, and Matt Bomer, who plays Neal, are the ones who suggested this ending to Jeff Eastin.

Jeff Eastin, creator of the show, said in an interview with TV Guide, that they were toying with different ideas. "The last moment was going to be a couple years in the future," he said. "Neal has just gotten out. It's the first he had been off his anklet and has been a free man. He walks down and, standing at the apex [of the Flat Iron Building], he's flipping a coin."

If heads came, Neal would walk to the left and get into a limo, with Mozzie, according to Eastin. This indicated that the two are going to become the "greatest criminals." They were also toying with the idea of making Neal the head of white collar division and he becoming the "world's greatest lawman."

The third alternative ending was a vague one. Eastin said that Neal "flips the coin and then the coin lands on his hand and we cut to black." DeKay and Bomer came to him and said, "we've this ending," which was finally incorporated in the series finale eipsode. Eastin liked their ending, as it suggested that the "chase goes on."

The open ending has left the door open for a potential television movie. Eastin has not ruled out the possibility of that. He called it appealing and said that after talking to everybody, "especially Matt," he realised that each of the cast member would be interested in doing it.

According to reports, nearly 1.9 million viewers tuned in to watch "White Collar" series finale.
