TVLine 3/30 – The Charmings Leaving Baby Neal Behind Might Bite Them

There’s bigtime baby drama on Once Upon a Time this Sunday — and we’re not just talking about Rumple’s endeavor to reunite with his expectant wife.

In the episode “Our Decay” (Sunday, 8/7c), while Rumple attempts to transport Belle to the Underworld, Snow White and David will set out to send a message to their wee son, Neal, whom them left back home in Storybrooke before joining daughter Emma on her perilous journey.

After all, the Charmings planned to only be away for a short spell, in the name of finding and saving Hook. Instead, they and the other heroes have discovered a larger calling, to help in-limbo friends and frenemies settle their unfinished business. “Yeah, it’s not the best parenting choice,” Josh Dallas says of leaving Neal back in Storybrooke. “It’s not a great thing that they left him behind, and they’re feeling that.”

Dallas says that abandoning the tyke for an indeterminate amount of time understandably “drudges up” the Charmings’ experience with their firstborn, whom they transported to safety via an enchanted wardrobe, before the Evil Queen’s Dark Curse consumed the Enchanted Forest. “They don’t want to make a mistake like they did the first time with Emma,” says the actor. “So now that they’ve left Neal, they’ve got to try to get back to him” — or at least get a heartfelt message to their son, with the help of the Blind Witch (guest star Emma Caulfield) and an ersatz “phone booth.”
