I made this point a page back but I think it got lost. Another thing that doens’t make sense. Timeline wise, how does Hook meet Bae in NL when he comes through the bean hole when Hook and Milah were traveling around FTL when they ran into Rumple for the second time, at least a few years AFTER he lost Bae. Timeline issues guys. They are what keep me up at night.
I have two guesses.
1) Bae did come to our world first but somehow found a way of getting home. Instead of going back to the EF though, he somehow ended up in Neverland.
2) In The Crocodile, Smee (from memory) asked Hook where they were going when he opened up the portal. Hook replied ‘Neverland!’ indicating that he somehow already knew about it. Maybe he had been there before before, when Bae first came through?
