They also said the season 2 finale would be a big gamechanger for Neal and Rumple. At first I thought that meant Neal would learn what happened to Milah and it really sour their relationship (which I think is going to improve a little after The Miller’s Daughter). Now I’m taking that theory and combining it with Phee’s. I suspect Hook and Neal aren’t exactly enemies. I think Hook is going to be a bit of a father figure to NealFire Pan. However, I also think they had a falling out. If young Bae, abandoned by his mother and father, suddenly lost his father figure in Hook because Hook at some point decides to go back to FTL and track down Rumple (and then get’s trapped with Cora like we all know) that could devastate young Bae. Yet another parental figure left him. But he’ll be more inclined to forgive Hook since he’s going to learn that Rumple killed Milah and by doing so ensured that someday Hook would leave Bae. It’s all too much for Bae and he joins team Hook.
Well, first I don’t see how that would be a game changer for Neal and Rumple. It’s more or less the same idea you came with at first 😉 Next, I really don’t think Neal will join with Hook: The guy almost killed his father and even if Neal learn about Milah murder, whatever he may thought about his dad after that revelation will change nothing. And I suppose Neal will learn about Belle and what Hook have done to her. So add this to the list of things of why Neal will never befriend Hook. And I don’t think that Bael and Hook where sort of friend in any way in Neverland. Or that Hook took the role of father figure for him either.
