Well, the diamond, right? Apparently she is a good con woman, but Neal is also a first class thief. And he has experience with finding hidden treasures.

He's a great thief and she's obviously a very good assassin, or has one on speed dial. The diamond? Sure. That might be all of it, but it's just as likely to be part of a bigger picture. Maybe she wants the diamond to bankroll something larger, ya?
Damn it, I had a bet going for the last few episodes about whether she was dirty or if she really was just an innocent girl. I figured after Alex and Kate have mysterious stuff, the stuff about her in this last season was just a red herring to throw us off.

I was going with dirty as well, she seemed too okay with going along with things. That being said, I'll admit I was surprised by the extent at which she was. I assumed she was just a partner as well and now I'm really wondering what's going on there.
Well, at any rate, Neal's romantic relationships continue to be his heel.

Isn't the twin of one of the most precious diamonds in the world a big enough prize?

It's possible, but . . . why the fuck would you go to all that trouble just to HAVE something? I'd want there to be something bigger in it than just collecting a shiny. Though that could be an even bigger characterization thing. She really is just that crazy . . .
A shiny? I guess this diamond is worth enough to allow her to retire on this mystical island con men (and woman) apparently dream of....
What? No one inclined to comment on the latest development?
I really hope that we get another season....

They could always pull a Castle, have the main couple move to Washington for a few episodes, then come back shortly after.
Now we HAVE to get another reason, or I will be angry with USA Network forever....

I assume you mean season
lol...yes, but we could use some reason, too. They should at least confirm that there will be another one. It really ruined the cliff-hanger for me.

Wait, they hadn't renewed things yet for next season?

Eh, i figured they are just playing games. Lets not hype ourselves up.

Whatever the reason, I hate not knowing for sure. While I would be very surprised if they cancel the show, I really can't enjoy the cliffy without the knowledge that it will be resolved.

Well, the TV Captions all read "Season Finale" not "Series Finale", which makes me think positive.

They're stalled in negotiations. I don't know the source, but my mom says that officially they're either doing another season or a movie. It depends on how negotiations go. One way or another, you'll get closure. Though I think it's funny as is. A guy says "I'm about to be the last person who knows . . ." and that's it? That would be a fitting state for Cafrie. After all, he's a man who's played his own game the entire way through.

Well, lets hope for Six Seasons and a Movie then!

Yeah, they posted the rumour at spoiler TV...I hope it is just a rumour. Well, not the negation part, but that they are about how the series should end. I mean, let's face it, the programming of USA is a little bit thin currently. There are only five "old tier" shows left (Royal Pains, Covert Affairs, Suits, Graceland and White Collar). I was totally surprised that Graceland even got a second season because the ratings are honestly not that good, Royal Pains and Covert Affairs naturally got another season because they hope to push them to syndication, but I doubt that they will go much further. Which leaves Suits, the one success they currently have and White Collar which still has stable ratings (pushing the show into the fall was a big mistake, though, it is such a summer show). They do have new shows planed, but there is no telling that they will take off.
I fear that the costs are the real issue. Matt Bomer's career takes of, so he doesn't come cheap, and all the outside shot in New York of all places add to the tally. And then there is fox of all production companies in the mix. It's frustrating.
Aaaand....I am not the only frustrated one...it seems like the fans are already feed up with the network for the silence and are becoming active now: http://archiveofourown.org/works/1223005
Okay...USA officially renewed the show, but word is that it will be the final season with only six episodes...though this part isn't official yet.
And the last news...they will show the last season, and judging by the list of guest characters, it might be really good. I am pretty excited already.

So do people think Neal will end this series as a Reformed Criminal or not? I personally just want him to be free at this point, but that doesn't seem to be on the table without him breaking the law.

I know. That was so much WORSE than her being Hagen's partner. I mean . . . if she's Hagen's partner, he just gives her what info he has, she works from there, and they go forward. This? This required her to be a sick little surveillance freak keeping tabs on the entire crew. And we have no idea what her goal is.
