Thank goodness that spoiler didn’t come yesterday.
That would have been bad considering all the ‘shipper threads were closed.
So the latest spoiler really leads credence to my theory that Neal takes Charming’s advice and backs down again from going after Emma. This would be Neal’s tenth chance or whatever to be with Emma and he misses it again. I’ve watch soap opera guys and I’ve seen this play out more than once on soaps, where the girl/woman gives the guy another chance but they keep failing to make things right when it’s time to make it right. Bottom line, if it hasn’t happened already, it never will. There’s only so many chances Neal can be given and he keeps missing them before you just give up on a person for not even trying..
