‘White Collar’ season 6 spoilers: Will Matt Bomer’s Neal return to work?

At the end of “White Collar” season 5, we had what was certainly one of the most frustrating moments of Neal Caffrey’s life. Just when he thought that he was going to finally have some sort of freedom from his “job” with the FBI, a snag came in at the last minute. This is a guy who never seems to get precisely what he wants, even though he has certainly put in the work. In some ways, his skill set almost make him too valuable for his own good.

So is Matt Bomer’s character going to be away from the bureau for long? Hardly, at least based on some of the information that we have now. According to TV Guide, Neal will be back at work in some capacity by the second episode of the season. However, not everything is going to be completely normal. For one upcoming case, you can expect to see Peter being forced to be the one to run a con, and utilize some of his own acting chops rather than allowing Neal to do most of it. This is a nice little way to turn the tables, and a generally fun idea.

With that being said, we cannot imagine many standalone plots in a six-episode final season, so this is probably tied to something much larger that will deliver the show to its endgame. You have to resolve whether or not you want Neal to have his freedom, whether you want him with a new love interest, and also where Mozzie, Peter, and Elizabeth all fit into this.
