i'm on a 'White Collar' kick so i have some feelings. one thing that 'bothers' me is that all through the last episode it feels like Neal is like openly saying his goodbyes. like it really sticks out when he talks to June who's sitting with Mozzie and she mentions the thrift shop. like it feels very 'reminiscing before death', and the way he says 'i love you' with that big hug at the door.
then, right after, he gives Mozzie the Queen from their fist meeting. it's very 'giving away beloved possessions' and he says something about 'going back to the basics' like he's going to be starting fresh.
and when he's having dinner with Peter and El. and he says 'i'll stop at nothing...' and the prolonged eye contact. it just all feels like 'this is the last time i'm going to see these people.'
