The first episode of "White Collar" Season 5, "At What Price," is all set to air on Thursday, with 13 episodes. It has been a long wait for the fans of "White Collar" after the previous season ended with the arrest of Peter Burke (Tim DeKay). He was arrested for the murder of Senator Terrence Pratt (Samuel Phelps) that Neal Caffrey's (Matt Bomer) father, James Bennett (Treat Williams), committed. Peter is facing first degree murder charges.

Neal's father committed the crime and disappeared again from his life. He believed his father's version of the story and was fooled by him. Peter has landed in the prison because he was helping Neal and his father. In the new episodes of "White Collar," Neal has to ensure the freedom of Peter and also deal with the betrayal of his father. We may get to see an array of emotions in the upcoming season.

These are the top five reasons to watch "White Collar" Season 5:

Return of an old criminal who had disappeared from "White Collar" after the pilot episode. 'The Dutchman' (Mark Sheppard) returns in the first episode of "White Collar" Season 5. He is going to have a significant arc in this season and is all set to stir the pot.

Neal's attempt to prove the innocence of his handler and surrogate father, Peter Burke, and his pact with 'The Dutchman' to ensure the freedom of Peter. It is a devil's deal, which is likely to put Neal back on the crime path. It is always fun and interesting to watch Neal commit a forgery as well as solve a "White Collar" crime.

Sara (Hilarie Burton) left the American shores in "White Collar Season 4 finale. In the new season of "White Collar," Neal gets a new lady to romance. She is Rebecca Lowe (Bridget Jones), a rare book scholar.

There is going to be trouble in Peter and Elizabeth's (Tiffani Thiessen) relationship. The woman whom Peter dated in the past will surface and create some friction between Peter and Elizabeth.

Mozzie (Willie Garson) and his conspiracy theories will be back. And, of course the bromance between Neal and Peter will be back, too. "White Collar" Season 5 promises to provide a new beginning to our favourite con-man, Neal Caffrey.
