And another thing. The bean was supposed to send them to a place without magic. Neverland is not without magic. No one ages for one, I call that pretty magical.
I’ve always held the view that when he went through the beanhole without a parent, he became an orphan, so he was sent to the land where Lost Boys go, instead of to the Land Without Magic as originally intended. The whole point of going to a Land Without Magic was so that Rumple would be stripped of his powers. Bae didn’t need that when he went through alone.
I agree. The nature of the bean changed when Bae went through alone. Blue intended to be rid of Rumple as well, but when he refused to go, it changed. But the BF then had an orphan child in Neverland (the land of Lost Boys and orphans) and maybe she knew that eventually Bae would sire the boy who would be the Dark One’s downfall so she looked out for him and then got him to NYC 28 years ago, in time to meet Emma and father Henry, making sure that she had connections with Pinocchio who was her errand boy while she was trapped in SB. That’s my overall theory.
