Thanks RG – I didn’t think so but better safe than sorry!
I really think they were in a different section maybe and that’s the distinction? Tink and Neal were lined up with everyone else outside and elsewhere, but the scene in Skull Rock is *I think* what they’re aluding to in this ridiculous attempt at a press release.
We know Tink and Neal are working with everyone else so I don’t see why they didn’t include them in this line unless they don’t actually go up against Pan but are working on some side thing while the others end up going straight to where Pan is. Either way it makes NO sense. BOTH should have been included in that AND/OR there should have been a line mentioning what they WERE doing because most of the others are accounted for!
Just had a thought!!!
Wendy is clearly talking to someone in the promo and she’s in the press release. RUMPLE has been asked to save her on Belle’s behalf cause she promised the Darlings. NEAL will be SHOCKED to find she’s still alive and being held captive and they’re supposed to save her ANYWAY (plus Henry wants that too) so what if he and Tink head off to get Wendy and they didn’t want to reveal that in the press release cause it’s a big thing? DARLINGFIRE REUNION. (We know she means a lot to Neal so this would be an acceptable reason for him to be helping elsewhere – with Tink by his side maybe since she wasn’t mentioned either – and THEN the others end up in a crash course for where Pan is. Maybe he volunteers to go get Wendy because she means something to him, thinking there’s more time before the others will get to Henry and he’ll catch up? I don’t see him forgetting about the Henry mission to save Wendy, but Rumple made a promise and Neal has a personal connection to her so it makes more sense for him to go rescue her and then he’ll catch up with the others. It’s a side mission they have to accomplish because of the gazillion promises made and did I mention DARLINGFIRE REUNION. – that’s something I definitely want to see, that family means so much to him!
I’m sorry there is NO other acceptable reason for Neal to have been left off that list and we know Wendy will be talking to someone and telling them honestly what Pan is up to so she has to trust them and who does she trust the most? Bae.
