Yes, I’m on the Bae=Peter train, so it’d fit for me if that’s how Hook discovered that there was a weapon that could kill Rumple. In the scene with Belle, he didn’t seem to know exactly what that weapon was, but he could have had some altercation with Bae in Neverland where the kid accidentally let it slip that the Dark One could be killed, but then refused to give more info, so Hook set off to find it himself.
You know I’m not the biggest fan of the Bae=Peter Pan theory because I just want him to be himself, and Bae’s personality didn’t feel he had any of Peter Pan’s traits to me as a boy because he was so serious and mature.
However, it’s looking more likely now, I believe. We now know that Hook learned about the Dagger to kill Rumple from someone other than Cora, which was the popular theory before “Queen of Hearts”.
We also know that the bean can bring someone to the present day Earth world, so there’s something going on with why Bae time traveled to our world. It’s either because the Blue Fairy or some other powerful entity wanted Bae to end up in the current day world to meet up with Emma, or he went to some other world(s) first that kept him from aging, or option number 3, the bean knew that it would take Rumple hundreds of years to get to a land without magic and then someday really choose Bae over his power and that’s why Bae time traveled instead of landing several hundred years ago in our world or option number 4, the writers never explain it they just wanted him to land in the future to meet up with Emma.
I’m just not totally sure about option number 2 because Colin O’Donoghue had that quote about he has yet to film any Neverland scenes, and he hasn’t even been told if they are definitely introducing Peter, though he’s hoping OUAT decides to. I would think if Neal is Bae and also Peter Pan that it would be a pretty major story line for the second half of the season, and they would have informed MRJ and Colin O’Donoghue that it was going to occur. It does seem to becoming more likely though.
