Reply To: Emma + Baelfire = Swanfire

Will post my thoughts on last night’s season finale in my new blog later today

I believe when Belle kissed Rumple during their wedding she remembered what Emma said about Neal at the Dark Castle and how much she loved him & wanted to save him, etc. I think they will use that as soome sort of loophole either in Season 4 or in the Season 5 for Rumple & Emma to go and save Neal from the vault setting everything right again because everything is now of kilter. 1.) Neal’s dead & CS is happening but Emma’s love for Neal is still there and it isn’t going away no matter how hard they force CS. 2.) Rumple & Belle’s marriage maybe real but it’s based on a lie. 3.) Marian being alive presents major problems for OutlawQueen and they’ve reconstituted Regina being a evil again because of Emma’s actions in the past. I’m going with the head canon that when Neal dies his body was preserved by some sort of spell we only saw a closed casket being lowered into the ground. Unlike when Blue was killed they had an open coffin with her in it because we saw that. I believe that When Neal died here in our realm his soul was somehow sent to the Vault Of The Dark One back in the Enchanted Forest thereby going with the whole life for a life deal. I believe the fact that both Rumple & Emma can use the black fairy’s wand to time travel gives us a loop hole to bring Neal back which we may not see until Season 4 or Season 5 I suspect Season 5 will most likely be the last season of Once. Since Adam & Eddy said they have enough stories for 5 seasons and I believe that is how long Robert Carlyle’s contract is for if I’m not mistaken.
